If it is, I know nothing. If it is the original fit, big difference. I'm fond of a narrow shoulder fit personally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bob-blouse-66-revisited#post-1685413 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 06:57:43 +0000 skylurker 1685413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you approve.</p> <p>It's the first time I have a shirt altered, I never thought of it before, weirdly.</p> <p>Now I know shoulders can be narrowed.<br /> Hems can be rounded (only slightly here, because the tailor said he'd have to shorten the shirt to make a much rounder hem, which I declined).<br /> Arm scythes can be narrowed too, but the body must be narrowed along it (and I wanted to keep the volume in that case).</p> <p>Anyway, I find WIW are useful exercises. The shirt would still be a size too big if I hadn't done last week WIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bob-blouse-66-revisited#post-1685407 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 05:34:05 +0000 celia 1685407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good fit always makes a difference. I like how the shirt looks now. Very flattering.<br /> Also I like both the shoes with this outfit . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bob-blouse-66-revisited#post-1685390 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 03:47:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1685390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yes, I can see the difference between pics 1 and 2. And I love the blouse both ways, and in both outfits. The alteration was definitely worthwhile, as the blouse does look really nice on its own now and is much more versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bob-blouse-66-revisited#post-1685373 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 02:47:27 +0000 Jaime 1685373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Works for me. I especially like it with the white oxfords. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bob-blouse-66-revisited#post-1685184 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 15:02:28 +0000 Angie 1685184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can absolutely see the altering difference. That was worthwhile and clever. Love the outfit with both pairs of shoes. I prefer the blouse tied at the neck a little more though - so I guess I'm a spanner.</p> <p>As someone with narrow shoulders, I GET how important a good shoulder fit is. It's one of my figure flattering priorities.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bob-blouse-66-revisited#post-1685152 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 13:55:25 +0000 Suz 1685152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea to alter it. It looks really great on you both closed and opened up a bit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bob-blouse-66-revisited#post-1685148 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 13:42:06 +0000 Karin L H 1685148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good! Prefer #3 with the bow a bit looser. Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bob-blouse-66-revisited#post-1685133 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 13:17:02 +0000 Anonymous 1685133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this blouse and am glad you were able to make it more wearable. I agree that getting the shoulder seams in the right place is important, as is being able to open up the neckline.<br /> Looking good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bob-blouse-66-revisited#post-1685126 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 13:03:44 +0000 Anonymous 1685126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I popped back to the original photos of your blouse and I can see a much better shoulder line for sure. It just looks all together sharper. I really like it with the ties loosened down as in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bob-blouse-66-revisited#post-1685092 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 11:55:00 +0000 Anonymous 1685092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see the difference and really like this outfit. Bob seems out of the picture. The shoes! WOW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bob-blouse-66-revisited#post-1685087 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 11:23:22 +0000 skylurker 1685087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Previously on YLF : I tried to copycat Angie's last outfit - a billowy blouse over jeans - and ended as a Bob Dylan copycat.</p> <p>After last week post, I decided to have the blouse altered, in the hope it could work as a stand alone top, as well as a layering piece.</p> <p>Not sure if the result is really visible in pics, but I like the blouse much better IRL. Good shoulder fit makes a lot of difference to me.</p> <p>Also, as the blouse is less overwhelming, I can untie the pussy bow a little so it looks less like a grandma blouse. </p>
