Hi MFA,

I recently plunged into online shopping, I received my clothing yesterday but I’m not sure about the fit (I often want to tell myself it fits when it doesn’t and vice versa). I need your advice on whether to exchange certain items or keep them.

First up:

This shirt is definitely too small... it’s really tight in the chest/shoulders, the only question is, do I go up one or two sizes?

It fits my body but is tight in the shoulders/chest area.

The sizing chart is here: http://en.vancl.com/help/eswcsb.htm I got the medium with a 106cm chest, large is 110cm and XL is 114cm and I’m debating whether to go up one or two sizes..

Anybody have good tips for measuring ones self?

These shirt are pretty true to size, I just didn’t give myself breathing room

Next up is this cardigan,

I feel like it fits well but I’m not sure, I got the XL and there is only one bigger size XXL… Does it look too small on me?

XL is 104cm chest while XXL is 108cm

Any advice is appreciated, I’ve got to exchange these immediately or else I’m stuck with them

Sorry about the shoddy pics, my basement is kinda dark and my camera isn’t great. Let me know if you need more information/pics.

Thank you.
