This is going like a Boeing. Thank you for your personal attention, Carissa. Also, I like the way your product was dubbed “the Carissa shirt”. How’s that for fab branding. </p> <p>You might need to do some creative thinking. Loads of gals want your shirt but aren’t quite well endowed enough. Is that right? I wear a Chantelle 32C (31 over the bust and 26 under bust) – not well endowed at all, which is why I passed the fit trail onto Nicole. </p> <p>This is going to be VERY interesting. I can't wait to see how things work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-maya-038-shiny-038-anyone-else-woven-tops-for-the-endowed#post-45691 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 04:10:05 +0000 Maya 45691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear Shiny, I'll have to get back to you when I figure out how to measure my back, hehe.</p> <p>I'm surprised that we have almost identical measurements yet are very different bra sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-maya-038-shiny-038-anyone-else-woven-tops-for-the-endowed#post-45689 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 03:58:32 +0000 shiny 45689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just measured sans bra and I am also 35.5 - I assume with bra 36. (bra brand area is 33). </p> <p>Like Maya, the BR XS (petite for me) button down does not fit me. Not just chest, but my midsection too. The SP does - but the vertical proportions are all wrong. </p> <p>Maya, now you have me curious - what is your measurement from shoulder seam to bottom of your bra band? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-maya-038-shiny-038-anyone-else-woven-tops-for-the-endowed#post-45686 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 03:38:35 +0000 Maya 45686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carissa, when I am wearing a contour bra I'm about 36". Without any padding at all, 35.5".</p> <p>I have a BR buttondown in an XS that fits everywhere but the bust. It will close only if I wear a non-padded bra, and even then it feels restricting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-maya-038-shiny-038-anyone-else-woven-tops-for-the-endowed#post-45685 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 03:37:16 +0000 shiny 45685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Carissa!</p> <p>I'm actually average - between a 34B or a 32C. Tape measurement below bust is 33 inches. Waist is close to 27 inches (on a good day, 26). I wear between a 0p and 2p, depending on the cut. </p> <p>My biggest issues:</p> <p>- I'm only 5'0." </p> <p>- I'm shortest from shoulder to armpit. This can be an issue for me even with petite tops. </p> <p>- I have relatively wide shoulders. (Let's just say I am definetly NOT a pear with dainty shoulders and arms - I'm an hourglass verging on inverted triangle - by measurement I am technically an hourglass with a thick waist, but by appearance I think I can trend towards inverted triangle but not quite).</p> <p>- It seems that most petite mfr's figure if you are in a 0p-2p, you have narrow shoulders and a small chest. I'm more curvy than that. I often find I'm between sizes - the 2p or even the 4p will fit right horizontally, but will be completely wrong vertically.</p> <p>- I'm 43 and mother of two teens; my midsection is my trouble-zone and shirts that button and are more fittted can show off rolls in this area. :-(</p> <p>I have tried on lots and lots of shirts like this - too many to count - and own only 2. One is cotton (Ann Taylor) and fits nice with no gaping or bulges etc. The other is a synthetic with a print so it's forgiving and the print fools the eye. </p> <p>So... yes, I can find shirts like this that will fit okay: but I have to try on 20 shirts to find that one that fits, and then the quality is just not there, so I am settling.</p> <p>I can tell by the pictures that your shirts have the quality I am looking for. I am tired of sacrificing quality for fit. While I am on a budget, I would entertain the idea of paying for a custom shirt, at this point. </p> <p>P.s. I have sent your website link to two of my friends who are petite (not quite as petite as I am - 5'2-5'3" range) and very busty in the D and F range. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-maya-038-shiny-038-anyone-else-woven-tops-for-the-endowed#post-45684 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 03:26:20 +0000 carissa 45684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Tarzy,</p> <p>Thank you for taking part.</p> <p>You too would be a ME (medium endowed), which technically doesn't exist yet. Really though your 38" bust is only 1/2 inch smaller than the MW. Let me do some thinking . . . </p> <p>Are there button up shirts on the market that fit your bustline and the rest of you equally as well? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-maya-038-shiny-038-anyone-else-woven-tops-for-the-endowed#post-45676 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 02:43:48 +0000 tarzy 45676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HI Carissa - </p> <p>Your shirts look wonderful! </p> <p>I'm a 38" bust, with a 32" waist, and usually wear a size 8. Where would I fit in your chart? </p> <p><a href="http://s387.photobucket.com/albums/oo313/tarzyYLF/Sweet%20Pea%20Top%20and%20GAP%20cardi/?action=view&#038;current=IMG_0555.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s387.photobucket.com/al.....G_0555.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-maya-038-shiny-038-anyone-else-woven-tops-for-the-endowed#post-45656 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:48:12 +0000 Tanya 45656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Carissa, you are being wonderful for doing this.</p> <p>I am actually not endowed at all, pretty small chested, but am finding recently that I am having troubles with button downs and blouses if they are supposed to be very fitted at the waist, there is two sizes difference between my waist and chest. </p> <p>Anyway, I am usually a size 2, wear a 32C bra ( about 34-35 ") and have a 24" waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-maya-038-shiny-038-anyone-else-woven-tops-for-the-endowed#post-45655 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:47:02 +0000 carissa 45655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Maya, thanks for the conversation.</p> <p>I need your bust measurement in inches. So if you waist is 27", is your bustline near 33-35? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-maya-038-shiny-038-anyone-else-woven-tops-for-the-endowed#post-45653 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:32:56 +0000 Maya 45653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Carissa. First I wanted to say it's very sweet of you to offer us a discount. I don't think your prices are unreasonable, but I'm young and broke so it really helps.</p> <p>Anyway, to answer your question: I usually wear a size 2 or 4, bra size 32DD, and my waist measurement is 27". Thanks so much for your help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-maya-038-shiny-038-anyone-else-woven-tops-for-the-endowed#post-45635 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 00:28:00 +0000 Ana 45635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Carissa! I guess I'm just "average" (not even endowed), but I think these shirts you're doing are fantastic, and really filling a void in the current market. </p> <p>How cool for you guys, Shiny and Maya! Let us know how it works out, will you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-maya-038-shiny-038-anyone-else-woven-tops-for-the-endowed#post-45633 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 00:16:27 +0000 carissa 45633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi girls,</p> <p>Will you please be so kind as to give your bust &#38; waist measurements and your general dress size, i.e. 2, 4, 6, etc.? I've toyed with the idea of offering an E size - endowed, in addition to well endowed &#38; really endowed.</p> <p>if you feel awkward giving personals in the forum, i understand. you can email <a href="mailto:info@bratiquehelene.com">info@bratiquehelene.com</a>.</p> <p>Thanks so much. </p>
