And that's hard to do when something COMPLETELY, 100% laces all around so you have total control....lol... So I thought I'd be able to wear them, no problemo! Um yeah.....wishful thinking! It was busted can of biscuits\bread baking around twine in the worst way! And I'm not a huge girl! I wear XL  or XXL depending on item or brand or 14\16. It took me 10 mins to re-lace one arm so that it would "fit" after all of that, it looked gross so I took it off in extreme disappointment and frustration! It may have been an off day though, I've been having more of those recently than normal.
((Side note of off topic sort of thought: Am I the only girl that gets super frustrated sometimes when it's either something that should totally fit cuz you went by the measurements 100% or you're just so in love with the item, that when it doesn't fit, you get the urge to Hulk it off of you by splitting\ripping it off of open? (Think Chris Farley in Tommy Boy, fat guy in a little coat...lo!) I don't know, I guess it's my sheer disappointment and frustration but I always have to resist the urge to just explode the damn thing off of me. May e that just says I need anger management I guess....lol I don't actually do it, I just have the urge and have to fight it back))

Anyways, on slender arms, these would be smoking hot! The material is nice and thicker than expected! I might try an one more time and p! at with the pacing cuz they are that stylish, otherwise I'll give em to my sister, she's skinny and outrageously hot, they'll look fantastic on the brat...LOL!
I'm only docking a star cuz it says stretchy and I found these to have zero stretch. I wouldn't dare dock stars for not fitting me, it's not the companies fault I'm no stranger to the gravy! ;)
