BKE Plaid Shirt
BKE Plaid Shirt is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 3 out of 5 by JessJess from Love/Hate :/LOVE: I loved the print of this shirt, been looking for these colors for quite some time, so I was thrilled to find it. There's a sewn together gather in the back, which makes this relaxed fit shirt more feminine-shaped instead of boxy. But it's still relaxed through the body, not clingy at all. The fabric is soft, and unique...not a traditional "fIannel plaid shirt" feel, but cozy. Ordered a M, body fits great, relaxed with room to spare - and I'm a size 8/10 in tops usually. The length is nice, and sleeves are plenty long, and I'm 5'10. BUT...HATE: What is up with sleeves these days?!?! The sleeves of this shirt (although long enough) are so small and tight, it's as if the circumference of child-sized sleeves were made in an adult length and sewn on a shirt!! How do I know?? Because I compared the sleeves to some of my 8 yr-old's similar style shirts, and they were the same in sleeve width! Feels like a "generous Medium" top with XXS sleeves. I was able to sqeeze into them, but if I bend my arms I would certainly bust a seam. So unless you're average sized with gumby-like, waif-thin arms, you'll have trouble with this.It really stinks, b/c I love everything else about the shirt. Bummer. If I had an option, I would give 5 STARS on style, and 1 STAR on fit/sizing...so it gets a 3. NOTE: IM RATING IT "VERY FITTED" - ONLY BASED ON THE SLEEVES. THE SHIRT ITSELF WOULD BE OTHERWISE PERFECT.
