I think I do have it sorted by this top would be super easy to wear.&nbsp; Thanks for the suggestion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1282967 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 02:59:31 +0000 Echo 1282967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mean to resurrect this if you have it sorted, but I ran across this top today. I don't think this is what the blogger has going on, but it might be worthwhile for those of us who admire the look but have difficulty in achieving it:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://tjmaxx.tjx.com/store/jump/product/just-in/departments/women/Twist-Front-Top/1000023316?colorId=NS1003505">http://tjmaxx.tjx.com/store/ju.....316?colorI</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1280826 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 03:18:43 +0000 Gigi 1280826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let us know how it works, Angela! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1280795 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 02:56:47 +0000 Angela K 1280795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit, Sorry about photo confusion! I figured out how to edit the post after I posted the last time. Photos are in the original post beside the inspiration photo. </p> <p>Aida, I think you are right about the twist. I will try it again and follow your suggestion. </p> <p>Thanks everyone for all your thoughts. I knew ya'll would be able to figure it out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1280564 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 23:04:22 +0000 Anonymous 1280564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't see the photo, but Aida is right, you need the twist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1280552 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 22:50:28 +0000 Aida 1280552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grab&nbsp;a section and wrap it with a rubber band OR if the fabric is very lightweight you can knot it, but then you need to<i> give it a twist </i>before tucking the ends up underneath. That's how to get the fanned pleating :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1280548 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 22:45:38 +0000 Angela K 1280548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. Here's my version of this tuck. I think it works but suggestions and comments welcomed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1280218 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:51:34 +0000 Karina 1280218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I pinned this same photo awhile back and have not been able to figure it out either. Time to try a rubber band here too! I'd love to see photos and follow-up tips&nbsp;if you get a chance to try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1280137 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 12:41:21 +0000 Angela K 1280137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb, yes mine are cotton/linen tees-- </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1279810 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 01:24:13 +0000 deb 1279810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The weight of the fabric may have something to do with the bulkiness, also. Her top looks like a light weight silk. Is your top a heavier fabric? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1279704 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 23:47:31 +0000 Angela K 1279704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Joy we cross posted. Great minds think alike. :). Thanks for your help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1279702 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 23:46:41 +0000 Angela K 1279702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit that's a great idea! I'm thinking now that maybe instead of a knot I might try a small rubber band to hold the gather without the added volume of the knot itself. Should lie much smoother. Hmmm. I'll definite give this a try!<br /> Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1279701 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 23:44:22 +0000 Anonymous 1279701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wondered about knotting too because of the pleating look. If a knot would be too bulky, maybe rubber banding and tucking would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1279698 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 23:40:58 +0000 Anonymous 1279698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like she knotted it and flipped the knot under. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1279697 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 23:38:45 +0000 Angela K 1279697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I thought so too but I can't seem to make the gathered section touch smoothly. It leaves a hump where the tuck is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1279696 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 23:35:34 +0000 Anonymous 1279696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't tried it but it looks like she pulled the front fullness of the tee together in the center and tucked. The sides and maybe the back looked folded under a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-figure-out-this-tuck#post-1279694 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 23:32:08 +0000 Angela K 1279694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been trying to figure out how to wear my pencil skirts that are just a little big in the waist with a tucked top. Haven't been successful. Then I found this look on Pinterest and thought I was on to something......but I can't seem to get it right. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any and all help! </p>
