Talbots Try On With Different Body Types
The other day, I ran into Talbots for a quick try on session. My assistant, Megan, came with me, and we thought it would be fun if she tried on some of the same outfits as me. I’m 5’6″ tall and wear a medium or a size 8. Megan is 5’10” and wears an XL or a size 14. So, here is a Talbots try on with different body types.
Talbots Friends and Family Sale is still going on, but only for a little bit more. You can get ONE item at 40% off and the rest of your purchase for 30% off. Use the code WINTER to see the discounted price once it has been added to your cart.
You can find more Talbots outfit inspiration in these recent posts: How to Style a Button-Down Shirt for Fall and My Favorite Items From The Talbots Friends And Family Sale.
This quilted puffer sweater jacket was the first thing that caught my eye as I walked into the store. I love the quilted material and design, as well as the mixed media with the sweater sleeves.
You can see the design extend around to the back. I wore these jeans to the store. I bought them earlier this year, and they are one of my favorite pair of jeans. Both items run true to size.
Megan looked great in this camel striped half-zip sweater and bootcut jeans. Of all the outfits she tried, this one was her favorite. She said she would wear this all the time since it is an elevated casual look.
The sweater has a lot of visual interest because of the stripes, different textured fabric, and raised pattern. I love a half-zip sweater, and so does Megan. She said everything fit her true to size.
She then tried on this Fairisle sweater in gorgeous shades of brown. They didn’t have my size in the sweater, so I ordered it online because it is sooo pretty in person.
I fell in love with this black velvet button-front shirt. During the holidays, I like having items that look festive without being too fancy. Velvet is sooo luxurious feeling and look, and it is great to wear for winter celebrations.
I would wear this to a friend’s casual Christmas party. Adding fun, sparkly jewelry or shoes can make the outfit fancier.
I loved this outfit on Megan! She looks fabulous in this color green, and I told her it needed to go home with her.
The floral cashmere sweater perfectly coordinates with the wool blend coat. I love the different shades of green with the pop of turquoise.
She kept the floral cashmere sweater on and switched the bootcut jeans for white jeggings. Look how the white pants bring out the white in the sweater. Megan said she sized up in the jeggings since they have a slimmer fit.
The sweater fits her great. You can tell by the look on her face that she loved it too.
I tried on the same outfit. Honestly, I think the sweater looked better on her than on me. I’m wearing a medium, which seemed too tight, but the large was huge on me.
This Fair Isle sweater has the same colors as the cashmere sweater but in a different pattern. I like Johnny Collar shirts and sweaters, but this one is too large. They didn’t have my size, but I wanted to try it on anyway.
Once again, Megan looked better in the sweater than I did. It fit her perfectly, and notice how great it looked with the white jeggings.
Let me know if you enjoyed seeing Megan in my post. I think she did a great job for someone so nervous. Lol!

Wow! Megan looked fantastic in the Fairisle sweater. I hope she took that home. I liked seeing the items modeled in different sizes.
The green coat and cashmere sweater are gorgeous and looked beautiful on her. Brightened her face so much and she looked so happy wearing the items.
I hope bought that green coat, it looked fabulous on her!
The green print top and coat definitely need to go home with her – gorgeous color on her and she’s such a cutie!!!
Thank you for modeling, Megan! I’m the same size and height as you and it’s great to see tall people in these posts. 😀
Loved seeing the same style on different body types. I’m somewhere in between the sizes, made it more viable for me!
Now find a friend who is 5’3” and a size 10/12 😉
Loved you and Megan showing the different sizes!
Great suggestion!! 😉
It looks like you and Megan had a fun day shopping.
I love the blue puffer jacket- something I would grab over and over.
I love Megan’s smile! She is a great addition to your try on hauls!
I would like to see more of Megan since I too am a size 16!
This try on haul with different body types was really nice.
What a fun post – you both look great in Talbots fashions.
What a fun post! It’s also so very helpful to see items on different people. Megan is beautiful! Such pretty smile, flawless skin and those dimples!!! I love the green swirl and the turquoise sweaters on her. Glad y’all had such a great time at Talbots.
I loved Megan- nice to see the styles on a fuller figure. Great idea and Megan is doing great!
Megan looks great in the fair isle sweater. The fit, colors and neckline were very flattering!
Love seeing two varying sizes in same clothes. I could tell some looked better on a taller person. Both of you had great smiles. I appreciate both of you models for being willing to model outfits. I appreciate it. Love color so I am similar in color style to you Tania!!
Pretty outfits on both of you!! Bring Megan back!! It’s nice to see how the same outfits look on different size people.
Love your Blog!!
Love when you both try on the same thing! I am closer to your assistant’s size and it helps. Still couldn’t afford Talbots though.
Don’t know where you live but Houston has a Talbots Outlet. I find a lot of bargains there. Also, the charity resale / consignment shops in our area always have a lot of Talbots items. Their clothes hold up so well!!! Quality lasts and is worth it.
Great picks from Talbots! Megan looked so good in all her outfits! I loved the green jacket!
Thank you,
Blessings,
Megan did great! I’m closer to her size so I loved seeing how the different pieces fit her. Would love to see more of her!
Thank you for the photo shoot!
I really enjoyed seeing the outfits on you and Megan! Great post!!
Oh I enjoyed this post! It was fun seeing two views of the same clothes.
Loved this topic and idea! I will say however, as a longtime Talbots customer, I’ve started to sway away from them because I find their sizes so unpredictable and difficult to order online. At the same time, their return turnaround is very long. That being said, I did order the green velvet top!
How fun to see both of you in the same outfits!! It’s so interesting to see how things look on different people.
Fabulous post! I love seeing the items on both of you. And isn’t Megan adorable?! It was pretty obvious to me what she loved and what she thought was acceptable. I hope she made some purchases for herself. Fun!
She IS adorable. I’m glad you enjoyed the post!
Both lovely in your outfits! I love the velvet shirt and the Kelly green coat. I’m actually headed to Talbots tomorrow . I’ll have to check my store for some of the shown pieces.
Tania, Thank you for sharing some of the pieces in two different sizes! Megan did a great job and she has a beautiful smile. I really liked the johnny collared top on you and the green jacket & floral top on Megan. I agree with you regarding how a couple of the tops looked better on Megan.
I’m loving how much everyone is loving Megan! Agreed – she rocked a bunch of items!
LOved Megan in the fair isle sweater and green coat outfit. Don’t think the horizontal stripes do her justice. She must have liked herself in the green also because the smile on her face was contagious
More Megan please. Love to see how the same items fit different body types. Megan you are beautiful, I hope the green coat was in your budget!
I love that you’re loving Megan! I agree; she looks amazing.
Thank you, thank you – THANK YOU!!! I really appreciated seeing both of you with the same outfits. It definitely helps. You both really picked some great looks and they looked great on you!
Glad you liked it. We’ll have to do it more often!
Yes, it was great to see different sizes for trying on clothes. You both looked great.
yes, It helped me to see a larger tnperson in same style as you, because you Tania, are so petite & cute. That doesn’t describe me at all! Also, thanks for the tip about white pants in winter, don’t want to get locked up!
I would like to see Megan in more posts, especially Chicos. She’s more size. She did a great job!!!!
Thanks for this post! It’s nice to see the different sizes. You both look great, especially in the cashmere sweater.
Thank you. I’m glad so many people are finding this helpful!
Thanks, Megan! You’re closer to my size than Tania, so I appreciated seeing you try on some items I really like.
Your assistant Megan did a great job. She’s so pretty and has such good posture. I love the green coat on her too. You both look so pretty.
fun times for you both! Meagan looks great in everything.
Megan did a great job! I love seeing the different sizes! Thanks!
I love that you did a side by side try on with two different body types and sizes. Both of you looked beautiful in what you tried on. As someone who is 6′, I appreciate being able to see where sweaters hit on someone almost my height. Thank you!!!!
I’m glad this post was helpful. 😊
Meghan is lovely in all of the outfits, and it’s good to see the clothes on a larger model.
Thanks Megan! You looked so pretty in the Kelly green coat.
Tania, I ordered the velvet shirt in green. Show us the Johnny collar sweater when you get it in please.
She did andI will! 😊
Loved how you added Megan in this post. It’s great to see how the clothing looks on each of you, provides more of an insight on the sizing. You are both beautiful models!
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it!
Megan did a great job. She definitely should do it with you more often. She looks very nice in the floral sweater and green jacket. It’s a beautiful top.
Agreed! It was fun for us both!
This is so great you are showcasing different body types . I can vision more for my size L-Xl. Megan did a fantastic job ! And she looked great !
I have always loved velvet but it seemed a little much for “unspecial” occasions. This button down is perfect for lots of things. I love it!
How fun to see these items on both you and Megan! I’m more Megan’s size, -3”. She’s adorable and that green coat/floral sweater need to be in her shopping cart!❤️
I love that you are showing a different body type in the same clothes.
I loved this. It was nice to see two women in different sizes wearing some very nice clothes. I loved the green coat.
Tania I love your granddaughter story. I bet you felt special with her comment! Such a clever idea to have different sizes of models wearing the same outfit. I never shop Talbots with the exchange rates, but their clothes are lovely. We’ll done!
The cashmere sweater and the green coat looked fabulous on Megan! Thank you for showcasing different body types ladies!❤️❤️
I did like the green, and turquoise sweater on Megan
Love this post, it’s great to see the outfits on 2 different sized people. She looks like she really had fun, and really liked some of the outfits. Have a blessed week!
Megan – thanks for sharing as well. By the way, the Kelly green looks great on you! Great idea to see different body types.
😊😊😊
What a fantastic post! You both look gorgeous. Love the greens!
Thanks for doing this, very useful
It was great seeing Megan try on clothes with a different body type. I hope she joins you again. She did great and doesn’t look nervous!
Same! Hoping she will do it again.
Love this post! Thank you, Meagan. Seeing the two different body types was so valuable.
Looking great, ladies!! I started shopping at Talbots in high school back in the late 1980s and have been loyal ever since. They have such classics and excellent quality. I’m also trendy, but I have things that have lasted in constant style over the years. I actually just took my 27 yr. old daughter in, and she got some things; she used to think it was for old ladies, but now she knows. I also had an appointment early in the fall with one of the ladies, and she helped me with outfits and gave me advice. I love that you can do that!! Not many stores give you personal time to help you pick what looks great. You both look beautiful in those outfits! I love the green!
Talbots for the win!
Thank you. Nordstom has a stylist option, too. It’s so helpful!
Megan is the cutest! She looked great in the outfits! Great job!
I loved seeing Megan in this Talbot’s try-on! I love all the looks too!! I have several in my cart already!!
I love this post! Megan is adorable!!!it’s so good to give another perspective!!! Happy Tuesday ❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Love seeing the two different sizes!
Great post. All the sweaters were lovely especially the flowered Audrey. Loved your model, Megan. It’s always helpful to see how clothing looks on different people. I also enjoy your personal stories, “YOU ARE THE BEST EVER”.
Wow! She did great. I loved her in the outfits. I am closer to her size than yours and loved seeing both of you showcasing outfits. Keep up the great work.
I think she did great, too!
I think she did great!! Added a nice touch to it!!
This was fun to see. That green really looks fabulous on Megan. It made her face light up.
Love all these beautiful colors in today’s outfits. Both of you look gorgeous. Thank you for the comparison sizes! Have a great day.
she looks fab definitely her colors
I’m sure the girls love seeing a different size!
Great try on with 2 different sizings. Ordering online is sometimes more convenient but I must admit, I’d rather see it and try it on in store. I often have the same issue as you in that a medium is a bit more snug but then the large is too big. Thanks to both of you for this post!!
The green coat looks great on Megan. I think white or black pants would be better than white jeggings. Sorry.
I love that Megan is with you trying some of these on. She looks great, and I can relate a little more to her size. Thank you!
Loved that you included Megan on your try-on haul. She is close to my body shape. Please use her again!
I think the last two sweater, the green floral and the johnny collar, looked great on Megan. I would like to see her in more posts because I am her shape and size, just shorter.
Love seeing the beautiful colors on both of you! Great job Meagan!
I would love to see Megan in more posts! She looks gorgeous in the clothes in this post.
Loved seeing Megan in your try on session! It’s SO refreshing to see someone my size style clothes! I need a Megan in my life!
Megan is adorable and she looked great in her Talbot’s outfits! Keep using her as a model, great to see clothes on different body types.
you’re both beautiful! raise colors really brightens up your faces! Megan has a beautiful smile and her photo shoot was great.
I hope Megan went home with the cashmere sweater and green coat, that color is amazing on her! Loved the colors of the johnny-collared sweater on you!
Talbots for the win!
Great post Tania! That green color looks really good on you And Megan.
I love Talbots.
As a fluffy girl who is sometimes in straight and sometimes in plus sizes, I love that if I see something in a smaller size, I can guarantee I can find it in my size. My biggest frustration with other retailers is finding something in a straight size and not being able to find it in a larger size.
I also love that if I find something that fits well, I can then buy online and be guaranteed it will fit
Thanks for the two models. It helps so much!
Good morning. I love seeing Meagan. I am a size 14 and love to see clothes in my size. She did a great job, you should do it again Thank you 🙏. Have a great day. 🌞
Good morning. I love seeing Meagan. I am a size 14 and love to see clothes in my size. Thank you 🙏. Have a great day. 🌞
YES! YES! Another yes for Megan. But we still love you, Tania, too. 😉
I love seeing the try-ons on different size people! Maybe you can bring a petite friend along for us shorties? Megan-the cashmere sweaters& green coat look beautiful on you!
I’m crossing my fingers that my DIL will do this soon. She is petite and gorgeous!
She did great! Loved seeing those beautiful colors on you both!
You girls found some gorgeous pieces! I enjoyed seeing both of you.
Megan looks great in the green/blue sweaters. Love having her since I am 5’10” size 14 too. Love the velour shirt too.
Great try on session. It was nice to see two different body types. I hope Megan bought the Audrey cashmere and the Fireside fair isle sweater. They looked great on her!
She looked great in everything!
Loved seeing clothes on another body type!! Would like to see this again!!!
Yes!! Finally a post with more than just your small sizes being shown, it’s just what I love! Please do more of this!
those fairisle sweaters look so pretty on both of you!! I really like seeing different body type models.
Loved seeing the outfits on both of you! Also glad you are the best Grandma!
I enjoyed this post so very much! It’s so nice to see what Talbot outfits look like on different body types other than what they show on the Talbots website! My favorite outfit that Megan wore was the Fairisle sweater and jeans! It looked so very nice on her. I hope she purchased it!
Loved, Loved, Loved seeing Megan in the post! Being a gurl that is the same size as her, helped see the clothes in a realistic fit for myself! Thank you for sharing her with us and Kudos to her for being willing!
I loved seeing Megan model clothes with you! She is my size and it is SO helpful getting another perspective on what clothes look like when worn.
I thought she looked great! I’m hoping she’ll do this with me more often.
I loved seeing Megan in these clothes, and I wish she had tried on that blue puffer sweater that you wore in that first photo. Paired with the perfect jeans that you both wore, it would have made a wonderful one-color outfit on her. BTW, white jeggings are a “no go” for me. I much prefer white boot cut jeans – much more flattering on me with the big hips. Thanks for doing this – hope to see Megan modeling outfits on a regular basis!
Bea, it was hard to find items in the store in both our sizes. That’s one reason why I prefer ordering online.
The granddaughter story is awesome! I loved it! I love Talbots clothes and really want the leopard handbag.
Loved Megan in the green jacket and sweater. Her smile was beautiful. 😍
I love this post! It’s always nice to see the same clothes on different body types. Please do more like this.
I am the same size as you, Tania, so you are the best way for me to tell how something will suit my body! Although I am a bit bustier than you so I do appreciate seeing how Megan’s larger chest looks in clothes. Especially helpful when you try on the same outfits. Looks like you ladies had fun!
Loved seeing Megan in the post! it helps to see clith8ng on someone in my size!
I loved seeing Megan as a guest model, and I hope she does this more often. My favorite was the green blue flowered sweater on her. I hope she brought it home.
I love the wool coat!
Great try on post! Megan, she’s right about the green. Good idea Tania!
Beautiful sweaters. I love Talbots!
Great post! Megan you are a natural! Shopping is so much fun with friend!!!
Enjoyed today’s posts. Megan did a great job! The green floral sweater and blue jeans with the green coat were perfect for her. The white jeans were also nice. I thought the johnny collar blue sweater was a very nice color for you Tania, but in a smaller size. Fun post today!
So nice to see Meagan in your try-on haul! We need to see more of her!
I love Talbots and have really enjoyed the Friends and Family sale! I have shopped there way to much the last three weeks lol! I love seeing Megan ! She did a great job! I am only 5’3″ hope you have a short friend too hahaha Love your blog!
I would love to get one of my DIL’s to do a try on with me since they both are petite size.
I’m 5’3” and would love to see your DIL’s do some try on’s!🙏
I’m working on her! 🙂
I am Megan’s size and I LOVED seeing her wear the outfits!!!
I thought she did a great job!
I LOVED seeing Megan in the post! It’s nice to see how garments fit on us larger gals! Please keep including her… she looked fabulous and helps so much.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Megan for doing this photo shoot. I love Tania, but you are more my size and it was great seeing different looks on you. BTW loved the green coat and Audrey sweater. I have been so impressed with Talbots catalog. The colors are fantastic.
I can’t wait to share all the feedback with her.
this post of both you and Megan was terrific! not all of us are size 8 or 5’10” so it’s great to see the same or similar outfits on two different body types
I’m so glad you liked it.
Great post!!!
Loved the post!! Seeing you and Megan doing a tryout together was very helpful. More, please 🍁
Yay! Hopefully, we can do it again soon.
