Morning all………..I want to make sure those of you who plan to order the PONCHO…order the correct size, so you are happy with what you receive. There is NO FIT to this as it is basically an oblong piece of ENR WHISPER KNIT. There are seams at the shoulders and down to the edge so there is some shoulder shape. As I have said if you are a TRUE PETITE…..NO MATTER WHAT SIZE! you should order by garment length. If you are TALL….NO MATTER WHAT SIZE garment you wear…..you too should order by the length you are most comfortable with. If you are not sure best to order one size DOWN. Jac can wear the XS/S or the M/L because she is tall and a size 6. She prefers the M/L because it is a little longer, and she likes the extra volumn, but it’s about what you can carry……..Also, a garment like this will hang a little LONGER than the flat garment measurement, [when a garment is measured flat on a table as all production measurements are done], due to the weight of the knit. Here are the measurements:
1-XS/S, length 27 inches [from High Point Shoulder to hem], total width 37 inches [from end to end laying flat]
2-M/L, length 28 inches, total width 39 inches
3-XL/1X, length 29 inches, total with 41 inches
4-2X/3X, length 31 inches, total garment width 45 inches
If you are not sure how to judge the “garment width”, take a long sleeve sweater. lay it flat and measure from the CENTER BACK of the neck….along the shoulder seam and down the arm….then double it……Usually a size sm garment is 5 inches from the CB neck to the sleeve cap seam, and the sleeve usually measures an additional 23 inches….sometimes 24 inches. This will give you a 28″/29″ measurement. Double that and the span will be approx. 56 inches/58 inches. This should be a good comparison to the poncho width. As you can see the poncho is elbow to 3/4 length depending on your arm length, and size of poncho……..I hope this explanation helps you to decide what size poncho will work best for you……..Remember, it’s ALL ABOUT THE LOOK, and VOLUMN you want…………there isn’t any fit to worry about………………….enjoy……………much Love……………………Louis
You are a sweetheart. Thanks for the info!
Very helpful, Louis! Ready and waiting for Q to post it!
I like the look of volume over lean and the difference between the two seems minimal, so I’m going to order up on this one. Call me crazy, but I might order two sizes in the red–a small to wear over the WK skirt for a work and a medium to wear over leggings…
That’s not crazy…..if…..you wanted to half belt it the smaller size over the skirt would look better….peplum like.
