so i just got my Thea in CB today, and i loved how it looked right out of the box...i was confident i could just slip it on and fall in love with it!
however...the shell is SUPER tight on me!! what gives? i am an S in ALL of my HH apparel...dresses, coats, whatnot. and they all fit me quite well, nothing super tight. so naturally i got this in S.
but when i went to put my Thea on, i carefully put on the shell first. i heard a RIPPPP. i thought dear god, this thing is TINY and i've ripped it already! maybe it was the plastic elastic thingy stretching out, good thing no holes showed up.
but anyway, you know where the belt would go around, there is a horizontal seam? it's really tight there. the seam isn't very stretchy. they should have kept it as a vertical seam/one piece of fabric! i couldn't even wear the shell by itself without all my fat squishing out. and there isnt much room for a bra, either! (FYI, i am a 36C, and usually size 4/6 on top, 2 on bottom, my ribcage is just a bit large. but i would still be an S in HH).
maybe it's just my body, but if i am a TTS S in HH, why is this dress, of all HH apparel, so tight on me? did i get a defective one?
if anyone else who got an S in this, could you let me know how your Thea measures up? and if you dont mind, your measuremtns? I measured the underbust seam fully stretched on mine, and it only went up to 32.5". i just wanted to know in case it really is defective, then i can contact HH to see if there's anyway i can get another shell. otherwise, ill have to make do with this final sale item! thanks
