'Slim Signature' Silk Shirt

Beautiful shirt but the sizing is tricky. I'm usually a size 6 which is very much in between the Equipment small and medium. I tried on both and they looked ALMOST identical on me but the small definitely had more fitted look, especially around the chest. Since this is a slim fit blouse, if you have a cup size of C or up and/or you want a more draped, relaxed look, then size up (contrary to their menswear inspired "signature" blouse, where you should size down). With this slim cut blouse, I ended up keeping the medium.

I bought the army jacket green version of this equipment blouse and loved it immensely. However, I am having to return it as the blouse/color of the blouse? water spots. I noticed the first spot after washing my hands the very first time I wore it. We proceeded to go out for dinner and I thought that spot would disappear, when it dried, but instead it remained a faint spot. Again, in a light mist, a few more spots appeared. The blouse was worn on this special occasion and once only. I am very careful with my clothes, but the spots from rain and from handwashing did not go away. I wish I knew if the other colors would spot as this did, as everything else about the blouse was fabulous, fit, drape, quality of silk. A sad day.

I finally found a silk blouse that I can tuck in a pencil skirt without so much material puffing out of my waist. Of course it looks great untucked over jeans or slacks. The regular/original Equipment silk blouses are just way too big. I am 5'3", 120 lbs, 32B chest, 28 inch waist and 35 inch hips. The XS fit better if you want a slimmer profile. The S would have worked too, but it is a different look.

The thread around the buttons started unraveling as soon as I unbuttoned it to try it on. This was a brand new shirt ordered online. The feel of the silk is also very thin and poor compared to other current silk shirts that are less than half the price. I loved the design of the two front pockets, but they are very overwhelming on a petite frame.

I am 5'2", 115lbs, 34A. I love the look of these shirts but I was literally swimming in the regular versions. I ordered a small in the slim style and it is nice and baggy on me (perfect for casual wear). Order an XS if you are looking for a trimmer look.

If you are broad shouldered, like me, these are perfect. I am 5-4 1/4, 117 pounds and the S skims my body nicely but still lets me move my arms. Amazing! I'm not really a silk person but these have made me a convert. I wear them with shorts and jeans as well as nice pants and skirts. They hardly wrinkle and will be great for travel.
