Sorry, me again! K/R navy dot blouse

I finally pulled the trigger on this last week, after passing it by in the store a few months back. http://www.menswearhouse.com/s.....613__WOMEN I really like the feminine vibe, but wonder about the fit. Especially the armholes (as usual - sigh). Does it look too big? Or am I being paranoid?

yay - keep
nay - return, too big

I like the fit except it looks like there might be extra fabric at the hips? Those extra layers are sticking out past where your hip actually ends.

I love the color and print, but I vote "return" ... it looks too short to my eye. Sorry!!

I'm paranoid about big armholes, too, but these are fine. They're not revealing too much, or bagging out.

Anne, I actually wonder if it's supposed to be a bit shorter for skirts, and it's just hanging long on me because it's too big. Emphasizing my hips while it's at it lol. See the way it hangs on the website?

I really like this blouse - it gives you a tiny waist and makes your legs look even longer! The peplum is so current and this blouse would look wonderful with a pencil skirt as well.

The arm holes are fine - no bra showing.

I think the armholes are supposed to fit like this, Mo, and it doesn't look too big to me. It's a drapey style, and I think it's fun.

I think it fits fine, but I do think it's kinda short to wear with pants. Maybe with a black skirt it would seem less wide across the hips?

I had envisioned my white clam diggers, these jeans, and if I'm feeling daring, pattern mixing with my Columnist zig zag tweed trousers.
If those won't work then no use keeping the top!

I think this is such a pretty blouse Mo. If it were longer it would look weird. I think this is exactly now it's meant to look. It looks great over your white jeans and should work well as you have suggested for the warm weather.

It's awesome! I love it on you! I think it will be great with skirts, but I think it will also work with pants too. I'm thinking it's the cropped shots that are making the proportions look different than normal: if you show us a full body shot, with some shoes on, I'll bet it will look just lovely with all sorts of pants.

I can totally see this under a jacket for an interview too.

Well, I decided I should put it through the paces as I intend to wear it. I'm thinking I will keep. Not sure about pairing it with the gray pants, though. Deborah, I think you are right that longer wouldn't work so well with it's flared hem. I do have 30 days to mull it over . . .

Beautiful! the armholes look perfectly fine to me.

I love it, too...the drape, the peplum, the...polka dots!

KEEP.

I'm late to the party but just wanted to say this is beautiful on you - love the colour, the drape, the layers and the peplum. Definitely keep!

Looks awesome. Keep. I think the slight boxiness on top offsets the potential shorter length.

To me it looks like it's a blouse that is supposed to have a looser fit, and I love the gorgeous colors and polka dots. I vote keep.

It's a beauty, and the armholes are not revealing too much or anything, so you're fine if you won't be self-conscious. I love how it nips in at the waist and then flares out, and I bet it's even prettier in person with the movement of the bias panels.

Admittedly, when you passed on this before I was deflated and now....I'm inflated with glee. LOL.

So.....I wanna see this OVER your white frock...so you would be wearing the dress as a skirt. ACK. Love, love, love this blouse. Think with shorter shorts, also. And with red. And try under your leather jacket.

Wow - this is a very pretty and elegant piece on you - I vote *keep* for sure. WOW!!

Just for the record, it wasn't until I saw it with the pale grey pants and light-coloured clams in your second set of pictures that I thought you definitely needed to keep this blouse. Just gorgeous on you. A bit of a departure, but a really good one!

You remind me of the Duchess of Cambridge in this.

Very fab

I think this is so pretty on you. I'm glad you kept it. I LOVE it with the white clams.

I love it! I don't think it's too short at all.

Keep.

Thanks! It's officially joining the closet
It's so helpful to have all your opinions! Sometimes you get to looking so hard at something you lose sight of perspective all together.

Hmm, I should keep my mouth shut but I can't. I don't think it's the most flattering fit on Mo's great figure. It's weird because from the back I like it, from the front it seems wider than it should. Please don't hate me for being honest Mo.
