Chinese (only?) boards are simply square in shape. Japanese (and other international boards) tend to have a slight rectangular shape so as to appear square to the players looking down. In short, you would expect more variability in length and width with floor boards given the above.Īre you referring to the grid or the whole board? The grid on all boards should be of the same standard size. The assumption here is that after the block has stabilized, the final dimensions are pretty much set.
However, I remember watching a video (can't find the link now) where a floor board, or a very thick table board, was passed through a planer. Kaya is a soft wood and will fluctuate seasonally more than hard woods, which is why keeping your Kaya board in a consistent environment is important.įrom my understanding, the final dimensioning/finishing of Kaya floor boards is done with hand planes. How much movement (all things being equal) depends on the species. Wood moves and will move its entire "life." Thicker pieces are prone to more seasonal movement than thinner pieces, even after they've stabilized. These massive blocks are typically dried (stabilized) for 15 to 25 years depending on thickness – thick floor boards will shrink more substantially and less uniformly than thinner table boards. The top with this skirt is the Twin Tiered Top (now $50) which I reviewed in this post.Complete speculation here, but it may be due to the initial dimensioning of the block being cut oversized to compensate for shrinkage. Let’s just say I wasn’t impressed by this skirt.
#ANTHROPOLOGIE GOBAN SIZE 12 FULL#
There’s not a full lining in this skirt, so even though I’m very itch-resistant I felt the need to scratch. I think this is a combination of my body shape and a skirt that wants to hug everything without the structure to help my silhouette. That didn’t help at all - the 12 fell off my hips. But the skirt gripped my body in such an unflattering way there’s no chance I’d let the skirt show in full.Īt first I thought this was a sizing issue so I swapped my usual size 10 out for a 12.
I like the wide waistband at the top which is perfect for tucking blouses in. But the material isn’t structured at all, it’s oddly insignificant for how thick it is. I was surprised by the poor fit given the thick wool-poly material. The Firelight Skirt (now $50) succeeded in making me look lumpy and bumpy…never fun. Ugh, it’s reviews like this I hate sharing. I like this skirt but I’m not in love with it so it’s a pass. Who doesn’t line a full-length skirt? That gets a star knocked off for sure. The material and color make the skirt opaque but it’s a cheap move in my opinion. With a 35″ inseam maxi skirt are often too short on me but this one was alright, hitting about 5 inches off the floor. The 8 was a better fit around the waist but was a close fit over my hips. I found myself between an 8 and a 10 so I chose to stick with my usual size 10. The bottom panel bumps out a bit and I find this distracting but overall the skirt has a fluid appearance. Unfortunately the skirt itself is polyester, not silk. To keep them accordion-ed in there are smooth silky panels at the top and bottom of the skirt. I hope Anthropologie continues down this color story! Rich blues, reds, purples and greens make me happy! There are some smart design choices here too. The price is a bit higher than where I’d like to start so I’ve wishlisted this skirt for sale time.Īnthro’s done it again: it’s another maxi skirt I like! The Pleats Abounding Maxi ($128) drew me in mostly because of its jewel-toned hue. The colors of this skirt make it a bit of a styling challenge, but one I’m willing to take on. The waist has a gentle give and the skirt itself flares out, allowing room for my curvacious lower half. I was able to size down to an 8 in this skirt. I did feel like this skirt poufed out a bit at the hips but I can’t tell if that’s because of my body shape or the skirt design. The pattern’s diagonal placement is fun and I love the soft pleats.
#ANTHROPOLOGIE GOBAN SIZE 12 ZIP#
I didn’t even notice the side zip at first. This silk skirt has a poly lining and an elasticized waist band. The chance to wear them on a skirt held similar appeal. In college we used to have flamingos on our lawn because we were cool like that. So it was no surprise when the Stilt Striders Skirt ($158) warmed my little heart. I used to laugh at them as a kid but as an adult I’ve grown nostalgically fond of critters. Growing up in Country Clubville, Connecticut I was used to seeing men wear pants with crabs on them (farcical to anyone else or just me?), sweater vests adorned with critter crests and other examples of animals emblazoned on otherwise classic pieces. Critters have a storied place in preppy style.
