I like it closed but think it is too short with pants. Perhaps you could try it with a skirt and see if that works. I feel your pain on tugging. I just released many lovely blouses because they were too short. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-open-or-closed#post-894566 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 20:39:01 +0000 Beth Ann 894566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the blouse is a little short for pants in general.&nbsp; What about trying it with a skirt next time?&nbsp; I'm guessing you're more into pants, with young'uns at your knees, but a denim pencil or a knit with some flair could be great for spring and summer.<br /><br />Love the dark wash of the jean, and I think the t-neck is a marvelous fit.&nbsp; <br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-open-or-closed#post-894559 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 20:33:29 +0000 JennyK (NC) 894559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I wore it closed but next time I will wear it open. I felt like I was tugging on it all day, and Charmian saw what I was seeing but couldn't name!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-open-or-closed#post-893114 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 02:58:00 +0000 Charmian 893114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a fun pattern! &nbsp;I'm glad you have a chance to enjoy it again after such a long break.<br /><br />To be honest, I'm a closed-blouse kinda gal, but you're 100% on the spot in noticing that the L&amp;Ls are too low in the rise to make it work closed. &nbsp;So I guess I'm voting for wearing it open ... or trying it with a trendy pair of high-waist jeans! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-open-or-closed#post-892435 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 14:52:49 +0000 ruthe 892435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ yay<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-open-or-closed#post-892421 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 14:31:08 +0000 Liz A. 892421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it without the blouse. &nbsp;But if I had to choose I'd say closed. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blouse-open-or-closed#post-892415 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 14:25:21 +0000 JennyK (NC) 892415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm going out to run a few errands with the boys in tow. I pulled out an old work blouse that I haven't worn in over 2.5 years! I always loved it though. It's too short on its own. I've layered it over a turtleneck and am wearing with my new L&amp;L Gap jeans. The sleeves have this wonderful flair at the wrists that I just adore, but you can't see it very well in the photos.<br /><br />I'm trying to decided whether to wear this open or closed. No belts! I do still have a defined waist, which shows up with the blouse open, but again, it's hard to see that in the pictures. What do you think? Yay for open, nay for closed.<br /><br />p.s. I'm pre-makeup and hair in these pics :-)<br />TIA!<br />
