J crew tippi sizing

Applogies, dull post, how do the j crew tippis come up size wise? I'm a 14 with big boobs. Will the medium be ok do you think?

I have several of these. I'm a small size 10 with an average size bust and I buy the medium. The fit is loose but not baggy so I might be inclined to go for the large unless you want it really fitted?

I wonder who can get the xx small on, it must be minute.

They're lovely jumpers, so useful.

Thanks for your help Tiny, large it is! Do they wash well too?

I'm a 10-12 with 30FF and have a small and a Medium. The medium is a much nicer, loose fit.

To be honest I wouldn't bother - it smells like wet dog when wet and is not machine washable. The uniqlo and the Boden 100% merino ones are machine washable, and in the case of uniqlo, far cheaper. I tried a cold wash on one tippi and it shrank in that. The Boden one is my favourite but they don't seem to have it in the preview.

They're dry clean only, I think.

Tinymrscollings · 25/05/2015 11:34

Which you said. Sorry, Zorion.

Sorry my message was a bit negative! I'm just a recent mum and suddenly everything needs washing every five minutes! Washing issues aside it really is nice and a flattering cut!

Thanks for the tip, hasn't even considered it would be dry clean only. Having a look at uniqlo now

I wash mine on a cold wool programme with a special wool detergent and they come out fine.

I agree with the wet dog smell when wet but once it's dry you don't smell anything anymore.

Oh and I'm a size 8 and prefer the S as I like to wear a shirt or a t-shirt underneath.

I machine wash on wool cycle in a delicates bag (or you could use a pillow case!) dry flat and quick iron.
