I bet they have pinned it on the model.<br />Jenn, yes. I am sure it will look better in motion. I am not sure about the height thing, but I wondered if the fact that JAileen is wearing a thick under layer makes a difference. Mine is slipping off my shoulder a bit - probably because I am wearing a tank top underneath!<br />Thanks Tanya!<br />JAileen, I didn't end up wearing it today. It is a cool summer day in terms of temperature but I was concerned about humidity (I get sticky fast!). But I think it will be wearable on a cool night in summer, as you mentioned. I am very excited about it as I love ponchos but generally find them a little too thick and warm for my climate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761380 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 23:38:09 +0000 JAileen 1761380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>El Cee, thanks! I wondered if they were doing weird things in the model picture too.</p> <p>Jenn, you're pretty tall aren't you? I wondered about that. I'm 5'6", so just average. Maybe the additional height makes a difference, but I think it also might be the way it's turned. I have the point a little more centered.</p> <p>Tanya, thanks! I think the cowl looks fine, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761364 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 21:51:07 +0000 Tanya 1761364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous poncho!&nbsp; It looks beautiful both on you, JAileen, and on Brooklyn.&nbsp; The cowl does not bother me t all, if anything, it adds extra interest.&nbsp; i also really like the colors of the plaid poncho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761363 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 21:43:35 +0000 Jenn 1761363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, I feel like mine hangs more like yours than JAileen's on me. It might, in part, have to do with height? I'm not sure how tall JAileen is, but I know mine doesn't get anywhere near my knees.</p> <p>I also think ponchos, in general, are better in motion than in photos. The fabric moves with you, we rarely just stand still with our arms at our sides. Put a hand on your hip like all the models and I bet it drapes a million times better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761347 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 20:01:48 +0000 El Cee 1761347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes... I think it is just the way they drape, JAileen. But they are doing something with the model pics to make it look otherwise. Maybe they are pinning the back to prevent draping... or fashion taping the front. I have decided to just make peace with the drape and, as Shevia says, go on and forget about it. Your two ponchos look amazing on you. I actually like the cowl effect... adds interest.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761346 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 19:54:34 +0000 JAileen 1761346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>El Cee, I love your poncho. I don't have broad shoulders or a big bust, so it just must be the way they drape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761278 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 16:15:52 +0000 El Cee 1761278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your ponchos JAileen. I think you are right that the "cowl thing" is just the nature of the beast with respect to these types of ponchos. I have the one below and it does the exact same thing. I thought it was the combo of my broad shoulders and big bust that was creating the cowl effect... but perhaps not.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761243 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 15:34:26 +0000 JAileen 1761243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, yes, look at Neiman Marcus. It's half off.</p> <p>Brooklyn, let us know how it goes today. Maybe a picture in the wild? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761209 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 07:08:47 +0000 Brooklyn 1761209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia and JAileen. You are right. I am sure I will work it out, especially with wear. And I think I may get to wear mine tomorrow. We are having a little cool patch of summer.<br /> Joy, it doesn't seem to be sold out at Neiman Marcus. Try clicking the Find below. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761206 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 06:30:03 +0000 Anonymous 1761206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems to be sold out now but it is gorgeous. Maybe I'll find it on EBay some day. If it is one size, it may not work for me anyway. I just barely fit into EF's smallest size and sometimes those are too generous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761200 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 03:51:40 +0000 JAileen 1761200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, I think I like #1 of your second post best, but I like what Shevia said: play with it and then forget about it. And enjoy it. I'll enjoy mine when it warms up a little!</p> <p>Shevia, thanks for your words of wisdom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761196 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 03:25:35 +0000 Jaime 1761196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous - just play with the collar until you feel comfortable and forget about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761194 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 03:22:24 +0000 Brooklyn 1761194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I examined your photos closely and tried again! I came up with pic 1, which is close to your pic 6, but looks a bit messy to me. The neckline puffs out quite a bit. It looks a lot sleeker on you in your pic 1 and 2. Then I tried angling the neckline forward a little (pic 2). I quite like this. Pic 3 is achieved by tucking the neckline in at the back (pic 4). It is sleeker (more like yours) but harder to achieve. Which do you like best? I know, I am super fussy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761179 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 01:46:23 +0000 Brooklyn 1761179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, it looks fabulous on you, especially with the turtleneck. It seems to be sitting on you better than it does on me. Here are photos I took when I received it (again, excuse sportskirt and summer hair). It doesn't look quite right to me. Did you turn the neckline under? I also tried just now pulling the whole thing forward to create a more asymmetrical look (pics 3 and 4). I think the neckline then looks better on me but it does expose the side seam. Maybe they doesn't matter. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761154 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 23:22:37 +0000 JAileen 1761154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, thanks! The thread about making a poncho was yours! I saved it because of this piece of fabric I didn't know what to do with. If you're interested in the EF poncho, it's on an even better sale now, through Neiman Marcus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761151 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 23:16:13 +0000 Anonymous 1761151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so jealous! My poncho also forms a slight cowl which I like. It adds interest and texture. The EF poncho looks wonderful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-shibori-poncho#post-1761146 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 22:45:52 +0000 JAileen 1761146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the EF Shibori poncho after Brooklyn mentioned it on a Black Friday specials thread. We had both admired Jenn's. Jenn also used it as a scarf for an airplane flight, which is kind of brilliant, actually:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-box-layer-by-layer" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....r-by-layer</a><br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-airport-and-everyday" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....d-everyday</a></p> <p>As you can see it kind of makes a cowl on me. I have a similarly made poncho in very light weight wool. It also makes a cowl. The plaid one is square, whereas the EF one is oblong. I had a piece of fabric handwoven by my MIL and saw this thread and decided to turn it into a poncho:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-convert-a-scarf-into-a-poncho" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....o-a-poncho</a></p> <p>Brooklyn, is this what you meant? I think it's the nature of the beast. I'm wearing a turtleneck shirt on both. I added a couple of other pictures of ponchos with cowls formed.</p> <p>Jenn, do you have any thoughts on this? </p>
