Exclusively Kristen Button Down Shirts

Hi, all! Promised I'd write a review of my shirts when I got them, so here it is. Here are the pictures: https://imgur.com/a/U8x6YVc

I'm really happy with these shirts! Of course they're kind of wrinkly since I just got them today, but I think they fit really well. The arms on the long-sleeved shirt are a bit big for me, though--both around and length-wise. The around factor of that is kind of surprizing/encouraging since I have decently flabby arms and have had problems with shirts constricting them before. As for the length, I'm 5'1, so the arms probably won't bother you if you're taller. However! Given that I am so short and these shirts sit pretty well on me, if you're much taller, I'd say these shirts might be too short for you. Also, yay, no button gaping at all (not on my boobs or stomach)!

I got both of these shirts in a size 8 and measure a 37.5 inch bust in an unpadded bra, 28 inch waist, and 38.5 inch hips. The size chart says that a size 8 will fit someone with a 36-38 inch bust, 28-30 inch waist, and 38-40 inch hips, so take how these shirts fit on me as you will. I got the long-sleeved shirt in 100% cotton and the short-sleeve in 95% cotton 5% spandex, and I have to say, while I like the feel of the material on the short-sleeve better, I like the way the long-sleeve fits more. I feel as if I maybe could have even gotten a 6 in the short-sleeve shirt. Even though I like the material of the short-sleeve better, the long-sleeve is still a nice quality. It's not scratchy and is decently breathable. The fabric on both is a bit see-through, though not enough to be distracting in my opinion. You can see the black pants I'm wearing under the shirts a bit, as well as the black bra I'm wearing in one of the pictures, however.

I'm usually a 30H, obviously, and I feel as though a fairly large range of people could find a size that fits them well in Exclusively Kristen. There's definitely more space available for my boobs when I'm in an unpadded bra, and even in a padded bra, I feel as if you could maybe add on half an inch or even an inch to my bust before the shirt would start to gape. Additionally, if my boobs were smaller, I could probably fit into a size 6, sinch the sizes do overlap a bit. I feel as though, for hourglass-shaped people like me, Exclusively Kristen shirts could probably fit anyone from maybe an F cup to a J cup, being very generous (of course, assuming you also fall into their 4/6-20 sizing).
