I want to order me a shirt(s) from Merrill but I need a little help first. I am a plus size girl, normally I would wear 18-20 b/c of bust size. Has anyone order with bigger bust and did it fit true to thechart size. I don't want to buy something that will be too tight or way to big. So I am so stuck :yuck:

Please help cheffers!!
 
I usually buy an 18/20 or a 22/24 if I want something to be a little looser on me. I just got my Merrill t-shirts that I ordered in a 3x and they fit like my 18/20 shirts from Lane Bryant. Hope that helps. I thought they would be a little bigger, but the quality is nice.
 
same here! I bought a 3x at merrill and I wear anything between a 20-22 depending on the style. I don't have the chest problem though, mine is all stomach, I wasn't bless with bigger tatas!
 
I usually wear an XL - and have order XL in Merril - I think next time I will order a 1X JUST to be on the safe-side.
 
It depends on the manufacturer of the individual item. Some run true to size, some don't. And they all have different amounts of shrinkage, too.

thanks so much cheffers. one more thing do the shirts shrink alot. the reason is if i was to buy the 3x i am wondering if it would shrink if it was to big for me.
 
I have not had any problems with my clothing from Merrill shrinking. I have t-shirts, scoopneck s/s shirts, 3/4 length blouses, yoga set - none of them have shrunk - at leas not very much. Now, sizing is another story....
