I'll take your advice...just curious. :)</p> <p>Plus, other than the black and white, none of the colours really do it for me - too warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-cap-sleeve-silk-tee#post-1705675 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 16:15:59 +0000 Angie 1705675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pass.

I've been wearing this fabric for years, and it wears like iron.</p> <p>I wash in my front loader on the hand wash cycle and then hang to dry. Do a quick press on silk setting when dry.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love these tops as layering pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-cap-sleeve-silk-tee#post-1705578 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 12:30:49 +0000 Anonymous 1705578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is very much the shape of the EF cotton ballet tee, which I have. Sometimes they are available in cashmere. The neckline is scooped but not too low. I really like the shape. I wash my EF silk tops by hand and hang on a thick hanger to dry in the shower. The thing about washing silk is not to soak or agitate it much or the fibers will weaken. I caused a hole in the collar of a heavy silk shirt by washing in the machine in a mesh bag, then hanging to dry.<br /> The colors: soft white is just that. It's not a bright optic white but more the color of snow in the shade, not as yellow as ivory. Sometimes it is called winter white or off-white.<br /> Eucalyptus is a medium olivey green.<br /> Peat is a greenish brown and rather dark. Sometimes the color is called "breen".<br /> Brick red is a warm medium shade of red, almost a burnt orange.<br /> EF silk, even black, is usually not shiny but has more of a matte finish. I like that about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-cap-sleeve-silk-tee#post-1705531 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 08:45:57 +0000 rachylou 1705531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The green is a 'I work for the park service' green, pretty drab. Also the cut seems very hour-glassy. I'm thinking this is a tee that won't work shape-wise for a lot of people. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-cap-sleeve-silk-tee#post-1705521 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 08:16:38 +0000 jenanded 1705521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one, and a couple of 3/4 sleeve ones. Yes they are good;mine are several years old. I am tall with a long body and they are oj, but as others say I usually wear them with a third piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-cap-sleeve-silk-tee#post-1705519 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 06:57:46 +0000 Cerinda 1705519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I even have some from 6 or more years ago: I wash them in a delicates bag in a front loading washer with gentle detergent; block and dry flat; they lose maybe an inch of length in the first wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-cap-sleeve-silk-tee#post-1705515 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 06:22:25 +0000 Robin 1705515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to folks who've weighed in so far.</p> <p>Hmmm...this season's colours aren't floating my boat so much,and I was hoping to get something other than black.</p> <p>I noticed the measurements are on the shorter side. I'm on the shorter side too, but that's worth keeping in mind.</p> <p>Cerinda: You said these wash well? Do you handwash them, then? The page says these should be dry-cleaned or washed by hand. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-cap-sleeve-silk-tee#post-1705444 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 03:21:31 +0000 gradfashionista 1705444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had one in my usual EF size and eventually returned it because it ran short. Sizing up helped, but it's still on the shorter than preferable side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-cap-sleeve-silk-tee#post-1705433 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 02:48:33 +0000 Keix 1705433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Robin, I haven't seen the shirts in person but based on the online photos: Soft White is cream or ivory with not too many yellow tones. Peat is a dark, cool brown. Eucalyptus is a sage green, medium toned and somewhat earthy but like a rainforest rather than a pine forest, if that makes sense. Black looks like a true black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-cap-sleeve-silk-tee#post-1705429 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 02:32:48 +0000 Cerinda 1705429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Robin, I love these and wear them year round. They wash well, wear well, and feel great. BUT even sized up, they're short on me and a little skimpy. I never wear them without a third piece; they show every detail of bra and body. YMMV of course, and some seasons' versions are heavier knit and some are even longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-cap-sleeve-silk-tee#post-1705427 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 02:30:29 +0000 Banoffi 1705427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do have one of these shirts, but not from NAS. &nbsp;I bought a lavender one at Nordstrom Rack a few months ago. &nbsp;I hesitated to buy it, as even at Rack prices it wasn't cheap, but it feels so good. &nbsp;I have not worn it on its own, but layered under jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-cap-sleeve-silk-tee#post-1705411 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 02:12:01 +0000 Robin 1705411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It feels like a luxury to buy a silk tee shirt, but I want one, darn-it! I love the feel of silk next to my skin, and this shirt seems like it would be a lovely layer under a topper.</p> <p>So, enough justifying: Has anyone bought one of these? Thoughts? What's the fit like?</p> <p>Also, if someone could describe the colours for me, please? :)</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/eileen-fisher-cap-sleeve-silk-tee-regular-petite/3016399?cm_mmc=Linkshare-_-datafeed-_-PetiteWomen%3ATops%3AT-shirt_Tee-_-251969&amp;siteId=fV7QgDWUWe0-loyrxoZw8BRF.jLSIG5IjQ" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ei.....c=Linkshar</a>&nbsp; </p>
