There are lots of things to like here, including great food and interesting fashion, but until recently I wasn't able to enjoy the latter because none of it fit! Fortunately the situation has improved a bit in recent years, as younger Japanese people are taller on average than the older generation, and clothes sizes are beginning to reflect that.</p> <p>I agree that Deborah is a gem; thanks again for your help, and the extra info about the fabric. I'll let you know how the blouse goes once it arrives! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-for-kiwichik#post-869462 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 22:35:43 +0000 Deborah 869462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jasmine, also keep in mind that the fabric has no stretch If I can help with the purchase at all let me know :)</p> <p>Lyn, Im PM ing you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-for-kiwichik#post-869385 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 21:21:48 +0000 Lyn D. 869385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just popping in to say 'Hi' and welcome Jasmine.<br /> I have lived in Melbourne all my life but visited Japan with my Hubby and daughters 2 years ago and loved it!<br /> We are hoping to return one day, my girls love Anime, Pokemon and the fashion, and we found the people to be extremely polite and helpful.<br /> Hope this blouse works out for you- Deborah- you are such a gem on YLF!!</p> <p>E.T.A. I agree that this would be Fab for Kiwichik too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-for-kiwichik#post-868818 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 12:53:16 +0000 jasmine 868818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Deborah, sorry you couldn't PM me (I am still very new around here, in the sense that I only recently started posting messages although I have been lurking for a long time). Thanks so much for taking the time to post these photos. They clarify exactly the things I wanted to know. Thanks also for the info on functionality; this is something that can be hard to check properly when shopping online but is very important to me. After looking at the pics, I am 99% decided on buying the blouse (the main thing holding me back was the possibility of a tie-neck, which I'm not really into).</p> <p>I am originally from Melbourne but have lived in Japan for the past 20 years. My parents are visiting in a few weeks, though, so I am going to have the blouse delivered to their place so that they can pop it into their luggage and bring it over with them. </p> <p>By the way, I really admire your style and aesthetic and I loved your WIW today! Thanks again for your help and looking forward to checking out more of your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-for-kiwichik#post-868703 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 07:57:29 +0000 Deborah 868703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jasmine, Woops can't pm you, so here goes.</p> <p>Im attaching two awful change room photos so you can see how it looks on. I could have sized down but wasn't that serious about buying and just wanted to see how it looked.</p> <p>It felt lovely on and the fabric is very nice. My only comment is that it is a kaftan style so arm movement is a little limited. Say you had to reach for something on a top shelf, by lifting you arm right up you would pull the bottom of the blouse up. Doing normal day to day things I don't think it would be too much of an issue. Wearing it out for dinner, to lunch, shopping etc would be fine for me. </p> <p>Do you mind me asking where you are located? If you decide to buy it let me know. Brown Sugar is a lovely store here and there garments are generally very nice. Both myself and Lyn D have peices from there and I think we are both pretty happy with them.</p> <p>Hope this helps.<br /> xxx Deborah </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-for-kiwichik#post-868697 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 07:35:05 +0000 Deborah 868697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jasmine, I think it's a polyester. It was lovely and soft and a satin like feel. It's a v neck, no ties or embellishments. I tried it on so I will PM you a picture so you can see what it looks like on someone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-for-kiwichik#post-868429 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 00:51:28 +0000 jasmine 868429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I'm not Kiwichik but thanks for drawing my attention to this blouse: it's exactly what I've been looking for! I don't suppose you could provide some info on what the neckline is like (ie whether or not it is a tie-neck style) and how sheer the fabric is? I don't live in Australia so I can't go to the store to check in person myself, and it's hard to tell from the photo on the website. Any help would be greatly appreciated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-for-kiwichik#post-868261 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 21:54:22 +0000 Sarah A 868261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that is a lovely blouse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-for-kiwichik#post-867724 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 12:44:29 +0000 Raisin 867724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh! I really like this Deborah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-for-kiwichik#post-867657 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 09:01:10 +0000 Deborah 867657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not that I think she is looking for one, but I have been eyeing this off on line for a while and actually tried it on in store today and immediately thought of Kiwichik.. it was really gorgeous. Not sure if Brown Sugar is in NZ?</p> <p><a href="http://www.brownsugar.com.au/tops/calypso-kaftan/w1/i1276088_1001192/" rel="nofollow">http://www.brownsugar.com.au/t.....8_1001192/</a></p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
