I want to love this, but maybe it's not for me...
LOVE the design. Akris sizes vary, and I own everything from a 10 to 18. I'm 5'9", 185lbs, 42" bust... the 14 fit me best (12 puckered)... but I'm not sure this shirt is for me. Given I'm already "a big girl", the puffy sleeves feel add width to my torso and read "football pad shoulders"... I haven't worn this yet because of that, and I might wind up returning it, even though it's so nice to find a summer white shirt that is not boring.
The cotton poplin is cool and crisp, and hangs nicely / doesn't cling. Will be great in hot weather. There is a pleat in the back, so the shirt is a-line (not fitted). I'm tall, and I think it would come untucked (if I tried to tuck it)... if I keep it, I'll wear it untucked.
