I need to put my dislike of the merchandising and SE staff aside and keep checking in there! </p> <p><b>Jules</b> I totally get your comment about high summer being so short. The stores and sites have been chock full of sleeveless dresses, shorts and tanks for so long, but I have to resist stocking up because they don't get worn. Speaking just abou the US, I guess a lot of places&nbsp; have longer summers than we do here in NE, so they are aiming at those buyers. On the flip side I've started seeing small amounts of fall stuff in stores this past week :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363281 Sun, 23 Jun 2024 13:59:56 +0000 Jules 2363281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love eyelet and am enjoying all the pretty items in this thread! I used to buy something eyelet almost every summer and I’m always tempted. I love the variety of possible patterns. But my closet is overstuffed and our high summer is short, so I’m being very choosy. Blue Jay’s RW&amp;CO shirt is a nice one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363240 Sat, 22 Jun 2024 17:41:13 +0000 SW Ann 2363240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In this time of difficulty finding "good retail"--Angie's advice rings in my head every day--"leave no retail stone unturned". I find things at Chicos, mostly tops, and some dresses.&nbsp; People are always surprised when they complement my top or dress and I say "chicos!"....I am often surprised,too!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363184 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 19:18:52 +0000 Chris987 2363184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b> those are great examples!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363176 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 18:06:21 +0000 Angie 2363176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Chris987</b>, this:</p> <p><b><i>"there may be pieces in a store that are perfect for you even if the overall vibe is not".<br /></i></b><br />YES!!! Here are some examples of precisely that:&nbsp; <ul> <li>The patterns from Spanish brand Desigual are generally not for me - black is front and centre, and I don't wear black. Yet I scored awesome jackets from them this year!!! Red and Green. Workhorses! (Finds #1 and #2)</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Everlane's palette is generally not my preference. Muted and very neutral. But their jeans work really well for me! (Finds #3 and #4)</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Athleta is not a place I buy items unless they are for yoga. Yet their navy bomber is perfect for Summer travel (Find #5)</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The palette at All Saints is usually one that doesn't work with my style. Again, very black-based. Yet I found a perfect mesh top for my brown suit from the brand (Find #6)</li> </ul> Keeping an open mind about brands is a good way to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363175 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 17:52:28 +0000 Chris987 2363175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie,</b> I definitely agree with leave no stone unturned, and after what I've heard here I will look more often at Chicos.&nbsp; I think there is another lesson I need to remember:<i> "there may be pieces in a store that are perfect for you even if the overall vibe is not"</i>. As Laura said they do have both items that "run small" and true petite sizes. I think I've even seen small petite sections in the stores near me. Good info overall <b>Laura</b>!&nbsp; I didn't know they originated on Sanibel island ... no wonder they are into a lot of color :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363171 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 17:37:31 +0000 Angie 2363171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's good petite and Chicos info, <b>Laura!</b>&nbsp;Thanks for chiming in </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363158 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 15:40:28 +0000 Laura 2363158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this thread and so many pretty tops! </p> <p>Here to say that yes, Chico's does petites. You can also see in some of their product descriptions where they'll note that a top runs petite, usually meaning it's shorter than their usual cuts. I love their t's which are very nice quality. Since they started on Sanibel Island, they have a resort vibe to their designs which works well where I live, They also do a beautiful job on their embroidered jeans. I have less luck with their dresses unless I can size down in a petite. Hope that is helpful to someone!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363153 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 13:53:31 +0000 Angie 2363153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leave no retail stone unturned - that's my suggestion :)</p> <p><b>Chris987,</b> I shop with clients at Chicos.

The lace top I have has a similar breeze effect although it's tempered a little by the cami I prefer to wear under it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Agreed <b>Jaime!&nbsp;</b></p> <p><b>Joy</b> there seem to be as many white options as there are black so you should be able to find something.&nbsp;</p> <p>That's great advice on<b> </b>Chicos,<b> delurked. </b>Wow ... <i>"it does feel like they design for a much shorter woman overall"</i> ...I know you are taller than me ... clearly I need to give them a look more often. I will acknowledge that my issues with them include their merchandizing (the stores are full of tunics, super bright colors, loud prints, and big bold jewelry ... all not my thing at all) and their SA's all seem to be in that old school mode of pushing the hard sell and telling you everything "looks really cute on you". Your pieces are not in that vibe at all!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Suntiger </b>yes crochet is another similar vibe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363138 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 11:45:13 +0000 Suntiger 2363138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had luck with their pants, but Chicos tops run Really boxy.<br /> Another option could be crochet. I was inspired by the recent accessory post, and picked up a similar looking (but light brown) crocheted sweater on Big Warehouse. Should be good for spring and fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363135 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 11:09:43 +0000 delurked 2363135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris - I've had great luck with Chico's dresses (shift dresses have always worked for me), their Zenergy jackets, and some of their bracelets. I know they get a lot of side eye on this forum, and I can understand there is an overall "look" that I don't necessarily resonate with. But I do think there is a place for individual pieces into your wardrobe, and if the price point matches your needs, it may be worth a try. I'm pretty shocked at how much I own from them, once I put the finds below. I got a few of the bracelets from Poshmark, which I find a good place to shop from if you already know what you're looking for.</p> <p>That said, I'm not sure why their tops rarely work for me. Though we have fairly opposite body types, so maybe they will fit you better. It does feel like they design for a much shorter woman overall.</p> <p>And as Angie was talking about bling recently, I'm getting most of my bling from their bracelets right now.</p> <p>Love that top Bluejay. It's a nice look.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363117 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 04:13:05 +0000 Anonymous 2363117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be seeking especially white ones out to wear with a navy eyelet skirt.

I wore it today because it is so hot and humid and the breeze goes through the holes! Haha! 100% cotton. An eyelet dress also cotton. </p> <p>I love the other examples people have posted in both black and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363090 Thu, 20 Jun 2024 18:46:27 +0000 cat2 2363090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a top, but my finger has been hovering over a Maggy London cream eyelet dress. I have never bought anything from that brand because I can’t bear polyester, but this one is cotton. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363082 Thu, 20 Jun 2024 17:29:43 +0000 Chris987 2363082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice blue one<b> Suz!</b></p> <p>Hah <b>Janet</b>, it IS funny to hear you say&nbsp; "Chicos one is cute". I'm more classic than you but I too would not typically&nbsp;have spoken those words. Something about the Chicos vibe does not appeal to me but obviously never say never.&nbsp;Anthro is a good idea too. I have a lace short sleeved top in a peachy beige from last year&nbsp;that I get a lot of compliments on. One friend asked recently (jokingly) if I was channeling JLo with her see-through tops! (I had a cami underneath).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363078 Thu, 20 Jun 2024 16:11:25 +0000 Janet 2363078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that Chicos one is cute! Now there’s a phrase I’ve never said before. A bit more classic but really nice — I suspect you could size up or down depending on the effect you’re after. The Allsaints is quite roomy! I could have gone down a size easily, but I got a US 8 but it’s all that was available and I liked the oversized fit and the SA reassured me that it looked quite intentional.</p> <p>It seems there’s a lot of this style around, so I think your timing is good. If I see anything else promising, I’ll share it.</p> <p>Maybe Anthro? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363074 Thu, 20 Jun 2024 15:44:25 +0000 Suz 2363074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have my eye on a blue one from Zara. I own an older lace top from J. Crew in cobalt but I only wear it in winter because of the fabrication and fit. It would feel too warm in summer and maybe scratchy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363067 Thu, 20 Jun 2024 15:07:58 +0000 Chris987 2363067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is Fabulous Angie, THANKS!!!

Maybe someone from Fab Nation will help me out. Ann Taylor has one that I like but the sleeves are very puffy and I already have broad shoulders, thank you. All Saints is very cool but too spendy for me. BR has a knit version: <a href="https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=885640002&#038;epik=dj0yJnU9VTlIMy0yMTM5SEIxNkxzRWxwUmQtaGNDUzVjOUU0ZVkmcD0wJm49cy1mb3pXa0pqUXREWUp3MnlRaUNWQSZ0PUFBQUFBR1owT3dN&#038;vid=1#pdp-page-content" rel="nofollow">https://bananarepublic.gap.com.....ge-content</a> Gap has a men's version that is a possibility. <a href="https://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=881198002&#038;vid=1&#038;searchText=eyelet&#038;epik=dj0yJnU9NnBkRklfLTdsX25YNFpBUDFIaVJZV3NkeDl3V3IxV1YmcD0wJm49bERvNUNqLXF4c21Wb2RxNVpzNWxEUSZ0PUFBQUFBR1owT3dz#pdp-page-content" rel="nofollow">https://www.gap.com/browse/pro.....ge-content</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/embroideredeyeletburnout-shirts#post-2363061 Thu, 20 Jun 2024 13:52:38 +0000 Chris987 2363061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE that AllSaints eyelet top Janet posted about, that she found after her meet-up with Angie. (Thanks for posting Janet!)&nbsp; I noticed some other fabbers liked it too. I thought I'd start a post about this so we can share possibilities.&nbsp;</p> <p>I found a similar one at Chicos, with a&nbsp; lower price.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.chicos.com/store/product/Burnout-Collared-Shirt/570368974?color=001">https://www.chicos.com/store/p.....?color=001</a></p> <p>The chicos one comes&nbsp;in black AND white. It also is not really eyelet, it's a burnout style. Similar but not exactly the same. Maybe less edgy overall.</p> <p>Short sleeved tops like this are unlikely&nbsp; to get a lot of wears for me since my summers are only 3 months long, so I'm more inclined to the Chicos one price-wise, but the AllSaints one has very cool ragged sleeve and body hems and embroidery where the Chicos one is much more basic. The AllSaints one looks more oversized than the Chicos but of course the fit depends on what size you order.&nbsp;</p> <p>I personally want black, but a lot of these tops seem to come in both black and white</p> <p>Has anyone found other good choices?&nbsp; </p>
