I Got a Stella for Gap Band Jacket… For Myself!

The Stella McCartney collection for Gap is so cute I just had to have something. Since these are for kids only, I thought of getting one for me in the largest kids size (14-16/XXL). I’m sure I’m not the only one who thought of this! I did a charge send from the Santa Monica store on Wilshire & 20th because the darned stores near me only carried baby to toddler sizes. The girl who was helping me on the phone was about the same size (0-2/XS) and height (petite) as me and she tried on the jacket for reference. She said it fit a bit snug in the arms. I hope it’ll fit! If not, I can always return it (unlike the Halloween costume I bought on Halloween Day that I never wore). And yes, I had to call around several stores because this jacket is sold out in other stores. (And yeah, I checked out the Alexander Wang sale on Gilt but did not get anything.)

Update: It fits! It’s ever so slightly snug in the chest area but otherwise it fits. The shoulder width, arm hole and sleeve length are perfect! No alterations needed.
