My phone re- spells for me!<br /> Also agree maybe try the Pleione style. It is not exactly band bottom so is not as pouf- prone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belted-wrap-tops#post-1515437 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 20:36:41 +0000 CocoLion 1515437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This exact same style isn't as prevalent but there are many like this being shown.</p> <p>The closest match I could find to the 2008 top was the first Find. &nbsp;It's an Ellen Tracy wrap front top with banded hem. &nbsp;It's a little more fitted than the one from 2008 but otherwise similar. &nbsp;(I think a welted hem and banded hem are the same thing, no?)</p> <p>But if you don't require the welt/banded hem, there are lots of wrap front tops out there right now! &nbsp;The plus is that they look modern and are midriff forgiving. &nbsp;The negative is that they are voluminous and the structure is provided by either being sleeveless or having a deep v neckline.</p> <p>Examples of these tops are the second and third finds, from Vince Camuto and Pleione respectively.</p> <p>The fourth through sixth finds are wrap tops, a bit more fitted than #2 and #3, and in knit fabric like the 2008 top. &nbsp;If you are not a plus size and can't wear Find #1, then I would go for one of these because they have more structure and the knit fabric is comfortable. &nbsp;Find 4 is from Vince Camuto, while Finds 5 and 6 are from Classiques Entier. &nbsp;#5 and 6 are the same top just in different fabric colors.</p> <p>Finally, I added three more Finds that have the banded / welt hem but not a wrap front design. &nbsp;#7 is from Chaus and a peasant neckline, while 8 and 9 are more plus sized options. &nbsp;I recall that you are petite so probably won't fit in these but maybe someone else is interested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belted-wrap-tops#post-1515432 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 19:51:47 +0000 Robin 1515432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not familiar with welter hem tops. What are they?</p> <p>I've worn band-bottom tops before, and was never quite sure how to wear them flatteringly. I think I had the mistaken belief that wearing them bloused out would draw attention to my midsection and make it look giant. I'm guessing that's generally not the case for these sorts of tops.I'm not familiar with welter hem tops.

Those are good on Apple types and tend to be available in lots of options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belted-wrap-tops#post-1514595 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 15:29:34 +0000 Robin 1514595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sadly, I'm more of an apple, so that wrap top probably wouldn't work on my body.</p> <p>Looks like I'm 7 years too late for the style of tops in the post I linked. :(<br />Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belted-wrap-tops#post-1514459 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 05:11:25 +0000 anne 1514459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The one Aida linked to is very pretty. It is quite different from the ones in Angie link though, which are knit tops and drapy.</p> <p>(I wish I could wear the one Aida linked to - but with my small difference between bust and waist that style just doesn't work for me) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belted-wrap-tops#post-1514382 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 00:54:34 +0000 Aida 1514382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie included a belted wrap top in her roundup post today, here's what she said along with the link:</p> <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/clothes-tops/4110231803634.jsp?color=010" rel="nofollow"><i>Aleta Wrap Top</i></a><i>: A soft shirty blouse with waist definition. Good on hourglass and pear shapes. </i></p> <p>It's white and lightly textured, with long sleeves, a shirt collar and a wider belt. Very pretty looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belted-wrap-tops#post-1514366 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 23:44:55 +0000 columbine(erin) 1514366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't looked yet, to see if all of these features are being offered in a top at the moment. How ever I do see lots of wrap tops and dresses around and I think I've seen a belted wrap top on Nordstrom's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belted-wrap-tops#post-1514329 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 22:24:03 +0000 Robin 1514329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tops described in this post</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/16/beat-belly-bulge-with-this-knitted-top/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/.....itted-top/</a></p> <p>sound like they'd be perfect for me - but these are from seven years ago!</p> <p>Are people still wearing belted wrap tops? If so, where would I find them?</p> <p>All of the features sound like they'd suit my body type and style preferences, though as always,with a wrapped item, I'd worry about too much fabric overwhelming my petite frame.</p> <p>That's all moot, of course, if this style of top isn't being shown right now.Your post </p>
