The style is fun, but size down, it fits big!" — Ann K."I sized one size down, and the fit is oversize without looking sloppy. I'm 5'4"; the petite length hits at the hip. The gauze is a double layer — thick enough for modesty, but not stiff or bulky. The brown shade is a warm chocolate. It's so hard to find simple 100% cotton shirts like this. I came back for the black, but it's already sold out in my size. I hope it will be restocked. I'd love to see it in a wider range of colors, too. I would buy more!" — KarlaJHPrice: $63+ (originally $79.95; available in sizes XXS–XXL, petite and tall fits, and seven colors)GapAnd a pair of gauzy joggers sure to become your new lounge uniform.

Excited to wear on vacation when I want to look put together. I am typically a size larger on top, so I often have to size up to fit my bust, which can make dresses look way too big. The cut of this one lets me size up so it doesn't pull on the buttons." — SEPrice: $98 (available in sizes XXS–XXL, petite and tall fits, and four colors)Gap, GapA pleated exercise skort breathing life back into tenniscore.
