I did not like the texture of it, at all. It looks faded. I have a Brett in Xsmall and a Signature in Small. Go figure! The Brett is supposed to be smaller, not on me. I'd say get a XS.</p> <p>This is what I'm talking about:<br /> <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Equipment-Signature-washed-Silk-Blouse-Shirt-BLACK-XS-S-M-0-2-4-6-8-10-208-/110891735193?pt=US_CSA_WC_Shirts_Tops&#038;var=410114928337&#038;hash=item19d1a99899" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Eq.....19d1a99899</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713936 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:21:10 +0000 Mo 713936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll keep my eyes peeled for a deal. I don't need it right away. I have a good month, even if I rolled the sleeves, before I could wear it comfortably. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713933 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:18:51 +0000 catgirl 713933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I paid $90 for mine. They run about $200 at Nordstrom. Painful, I know, but they are TDF quality. Just don't get the sheer ones - they snag like mad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713930 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:15:29 +0000 catgirl 713930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, look at THIS!</p> <p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Equipment-Black-Lace-Button-Down-Shirt-XS-Intermix-Rick-Owens-Goth-Fetish-/200815551472?pt=US_CSA_WC_Shirts_Tops&#038;hash=item2ec18a23f0" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Equipm.....2ec18a23f0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713929 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:14:43 +0000 Mo 713929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! Is $100 an expected price, as a deal? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713927 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:13:54 +0000 catgirl 713927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'd be an XS for sure in the Signature styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713917 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:07:52 +0000 Mo 713917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the tips, Una. We have a Costco in NV that a friend takes the BF shopping to (we don't have a card). Doubt the shirts will still be there in Dec/Jan though lol. Maybe an Equipment off eBay would be doable. What size do you wear in them - I don't know if I'd be S or XS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713915 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:06:29 +0000 Sylvie 713915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unless you can get it to soften up and drape correctly, I'd return. Way too boxy on beautiful you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713913 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:05:18 +0000 catgirl 713913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, this certainly shows how all silk is not alike. Send it back, Mo - it is much too boxy in a bad 80s way. Look for the Equipment shirts in the "Brett" style (not as oversized) - you may find a deal on ebay! Or try the Costco shirts Anna suggested if you have a Costco nearby. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713906 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:58:54 +0000 Vicki 713906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the "idea" of this, Mo, and the black silk shirt looks nice, but Suz did hit it on the head, because it looks boxy in photo #2 and more fitted in #3, which is odd. If you don't feel fab in it, you've given yourself the answer. P.S. I love your new avatar and had a cat who sat in a similar way, with his left paw over the right. ^_^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713905 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:58:15 +0000 Diana 713905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd return. It seems too big all over for you, plus it's not draping nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713902 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:56:35 +0000 Mo 713902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tarzy, please don't be worried you need to duck! When I ask I want to know how you guys really feel, trust me. thx! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713899 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:55:32 +0000 Mo 713899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, Suz, I think you hit in on the head. The shape seems neither here nor there. It's an xs but seems almost 80's in it's wide/short vibe. I don't feel fab in it. But I have only one other silk shirt to compare it to in my wardrobe, which is silver, so not very versatile. Still, the silver one does hang a lot better than this - and it was only $8 at Kmart!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713897 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:54:15 +0000 tarzy 713897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, Mo - it's a "nay" from me. I know you have a great figure and for me, this shirt makes you took very wide. I also feel this particular black is drab on you. I'm certain there's a better silk shirt out there for you! *Ducking* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713895 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:51:50 +0000 Suz 713895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. What KIND of silk is it? It doesn't seem to be draping very nicely for some reason, which worries me. </p> <p>I can see the use of something like this in your wardrobe for sure. I'm just not sure this is the one. It seems a strange mix - not at all fitted, yet not truly boxy-drapy either? Or is that my imagination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-silk-shirt---unsure-kr#post-713891 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:49:34 +0000 Mo 713891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought a black silk button down would be a great addition to my wardrobe. EBay pricing makes it cheap enough to be a trial item to decide if I really will wear this style. But . . . I totally don't know if this fits right or not. Of course, it's crease from packing but I hope you can get the general idea.<br /> Should I keep it and consider it an introduction piece, to upgrade later if I find it works? Or should I return it now and look for a better shirt to play around with, with the thought that better fit is likely to make me want to wear it more?<br /> Color me confused. </p> <p>yay - keep and see how/if you'll even wear this style<br /> nay - don't settle, even for a 'starter' piece </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
