Some of the other wrap blouses were less so. I would think of the more maxi blouse as for going out.<br />The IT aspect is interesting. IT shoulders are actually a help in filling out the drapey style. I would think reasonable balance as in, not the biggest widest drapey top (don't need to be too upsized) if wearing slim-fitting bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-941127 Fri, 24 May 2013 23:11:26 +0000 Mochi 941127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I need to vicariously live thru you with this gorgeous piece. Or at least, I need you to be the guinea pig for it. I really hope it works on you. To my mind, I don't see that it would exacerbate your IT-ness.&nbsp;</p> <p>Loving the classic Bugs.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-941121 Fri, 24 May 2013 23:05:59 +0000 K. Period. 941121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should buy it and try it, which will save me from trying to figure out if the shape works for me. I suspect it will look nice with slim fitting bottoms and that the draping will just read as garment volume, not as you volume. However, I feel like I've tried things like this before without luck. I just don't know if that was because my eye wasn't ready for them yet, or if they don't work for ITs. (And I definitely think that it would be could be work appropriate, although you will want a dressy tank to wear underneath. I don't think a tube top will do it. ;0)&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: I went back and looked at Angie's description and my interpretation is that this is very likely to work for our body shape. BUY AND TRY!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-940940 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:54:27 +0000 Thistle 940940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the IT monster!!</p> <p>As for will it work on an IT, well, I think it would enhance your IT shape. On the other hand, you actually have shoulders for it to stay on!&nbsp; </p> <p>As for work, how fashion forward is your workplace? Where I work, it would get A LOT of stares, and people might ask what happened to your shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-940931 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:21:19 +0000 cciele 940931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you could rock it, especially with that shade of green and the drapey fabric. Might want to consider an underlayer for work, though.</p> <p>P.S. I have that very shirt, plus the black-and-white check version, coming to me to try out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-940924 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:09:48 +0000 ironkurtin 940924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I looked at Angie's post of those blouses and instantly thought, NO WAY will these ever work for me. I'll look like a big block swathed in tulle.&nbsp; I'd be curious to see if you tried one, fellow IT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-940732 Fri, 24 May 2013 13:18:10 +0000 Janet 940732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say the only way to know is to try it. I personally might shy away from this particular top because of those flap pockets on the chest, combined with the volume, but I would still try it on because sometimes it works even on my big boobs (i.e., the Equipment shirts). </p> <p>I do think this could work well on you. I would love to be an IT for a day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-940658 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:51:34 +0000 krishnidoux 940658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am an IT and I can tell you the wrap blouse (from Zara)&nbsp;I tried did <u>not</u> work. It made my already long torso even longer, and my IT shoulders very imposing... which did not do&nbsp;my short height any favors. On this particular model, &nbsp;the wrap is not horizontal but slanted, which brings the focus to the&nbsp;centre,&nbsp; making the waist appear narrower. So it might distract from the longness. It also&nbsp;droops the shoulders somehow, which is good. Silk crepe is also very fluid.&nbsp;So it may work. However I would make sure returns are possible and not too costly.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-940654 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:40:31 +0000 Lantana 940654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a feeling you will wear this style well. It is not dissimilar to other silhouettes you have posted.<br /> And, bunny stranglers aside, what would be undesirable about emphasizing your shape? I think you have a lovely figure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-940567 Fri, 24 May 2013 04:50:16 +0000 Eliza 940567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting how they show the tawny with lots of camisole and the emerald with none. I like the shirt and it may well be worth trying, though for work wear, I would want a sure- fire, non-fussy way for coverage and can't tell if this would provide it. Hope it works for you, because it looks great and it is refreshing to see something a bit different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-940559 Fri, 24 May 2013 04:29:45 +0000 Caro in Oz 940559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try it - please.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-940499 Fri, 24 May 2013 03:20:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 940499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would love to see you try it out Una - I think it has great potential and we all know how gorgeous you look in green.</p> <p>I think it would be work appropriate would look fab with pencil skirts, trousers, skinnies and possibly even over a sheath dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-940494 Fri, 24 May 2013 03:17:58 +0000 MsMary 940494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try it!&nbsp; I can see you rocking it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-940486 Fri, 24 May 2013 03:14:26 +0000 Parsley 940486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bet it would look great!<br />With free shipping and returns you have nothing to lose to try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-940485 Fri, 24 May 2013 03:14:23 +0000 celia 940485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that it might work because the volume around the waist will balance your shoulders.<br />(on another note, I would love to be an IT, be proud of your fab body type) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-940484 Fri, 24 May 2013 03:13:36 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 940484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dunno re shape, but I think Angie said it should work for the broad shouldered, right?</p> <p>It's a matte silk blouse, so I would think it would be fine for work as long as you wear the appropriate underlayers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-draped-shirt-on-an-it-and-for-work#post-940482 Fri, 24 May 2013 03:12:24 +0000 Anonymous 940482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I don't know.
