XP: Athleta sizing on clothes...

[cransplash]

Does anyone know how their clothes run in size? I have a few dresses I'm eyeing.



fwiw, I am a size 8 in top @ LLL, small/mediums at Gap/BR/ON, and size 8 on top at Boden.

I am a small/medium in Athleta's tankini tops.
5'2", and I wear size small in Athleta's Relay capris.

The reviews are usual spot on but return shippin is free so you could always order two and send one back

It's similar to Gap/BR sizing on me, but read the reviews online because individual pieces can run large or small. The reviews are very helpful.

Thanks, I have read a fair amount of reviews on the dresses. Good point about ordering 2 sizes.

I'm almost always a small in dresses and a medium in sports/bra built-in tops, but I will usually order both sizes and return one. I pick medium tops because i carry weight in my stomach and the small stretchy tops pull too tight. The dresses are usually empire cut and aren't fitted in my stomach.

Another fan of ordering 2 sizes and reading reviews. I have a few Athleta dressed and each is a different size! Seriously.

Sizing is a bit all over the place for them. I wear anything from a medium to a XL. Definitely read the online reviews.

It really depends on the item. I am 5'3" and my Revelation capris from Athleta are XS. I wear a 6 in LLL tops/4 in bottoms and usually wear a S in dresses at Athleta. However, I ordered some dresses this summer that came in number sizes and needed an 8. The best thing to do is just order a bunch of stuff and take advantage of their sweet return policy

It varies so ditto the two sizes. It really depends on the item. I'm a 4 @ LLL, and the majority of my Athleta stuff is xs. I have three pairs of shorts that are xxs, but I think that's just the shorts. In most items, I think xxs would be too small.
