It's nice, and it might work. I never tried it on, but (of course) I love the color, and the fabric was very soft and flowy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11246 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:08:25 +0000 Nicole 11246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I found the free shipping coupon and used it. I tried to use a 15% off coupon as well, but that didn't work.</p> <p>I ordered the two wrap tops that Tanya suggested for me. (I decided to go with Large and not bother wth the Medium.) I decided the patterns on those dresses were not going to look good on my curves, so I thought I'd give this one a try instead:</p> <p><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=26497&#038;pid=564211" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=564211</a></p> <p>I don't have high hopes for it though. I'm afraid the criss cross thing is going to fall in the wrong place. But I always peruse sale items if I'm going to place an order anyway. I figured I might as well give it a try. It might work--who knows. I also grabbed these two tops--I was still deficient in the summer tops department. </p> <p><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=26503&#038;pid=564983" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=564983</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=26503&#038;pid=564987" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=564987</a></p> <p>I'll take photos once they arrive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11239 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 17:59:55 +0000 Maya 11239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, BR always has tons of coupons in my experience, and you can use up to 5 at at time. retailmenot.com is a pretty good place to search. You might at least get free shipping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11198 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 11:14:14 +0000 Tanya 11198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a good strategy Nicole! Can't wait to see the photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11191 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 10:34:20 +0000 Nicole 11191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Edit: Thanks for the reminder about Julia trying on these dresses. The link to her photos was very helpful. I'm not sure if either of these dresses will work for me. The prints are too big and curvy.</p> <p>Well the closest BR is about 40 minutes away at a mall I've only been to a few times. I'm not sure if that particular BR is a "good one". I'd be tweaked if I drove there and they didn't have what I was looking for. I was thinking...since I really like those shirts, I would order each in a M and L, and I'd order both of those dresses, maybe in two sizes also. Then just return what I don't want. The shipping costs to return them are probably the same as the cost of gas to drive there and back. (I did the math in my head this morning on my walk. Oy.) </p> <p>If I were to take photos in a dressing room, I'd still have to come home to upload the photos and post them. (I don't have a camera phone). The wedding's in 3 weeks--I should have enough time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11185 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 05:05:22 +0000 Angie 11185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you take pictures in the dressing room again, or do you have to order on-line? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11170 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 03:29:20 +0000 Julia 11170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:D</p> <p>Now let's see how it looks on Nicole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11164 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 03:22:52 +0000 Maya 11164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, that was my favorite </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11162 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 03:17:09 +0000 Julia 11162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya I bought this one: <a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=35666&#038;pid=564385" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=564385</a></p> <p>Somehow I cannot see anything on photobucket, we have a thunderstorm going on here so that might be the reason, otherwise I'd post the link to my picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11161 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 03:12:46 +0000 Maya 11161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Which one did you end up going with Julia?</p> <p>Hard to say how they'll look Nicole. I don't think I've seen you in a dress yet, but there's always this post to start with; <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2007/06/04/dresses-for-inverted-triangles/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2007/06/.....triangles/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11157 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 03:03:13 +0000 Julia 11157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Dani to find that link. I ended up buying the first one in Nicole's link. </p> <p>It's much longer on me than on the model but it ends above my knee so I don't have to alter it. I got it in petite so the regular should work for you Nicole. </p> <p>I also tried on the second one and it's a lot longer, as you can see in my picture. I think that the first one might work better for you since it flares out. It's very beautiful and the picture doesn't do it justice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11143 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:35:37 +0000 Dani 11143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, Julia tried both of those on the other day (hopefully Tanya will find the link). I'm not sure the first one will work for you based on my memory of Julia's pictures. I'd go ahead and try them on, they could surprise you!</p> <p>Edit - here's the link<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-dress-hunt?replies=23" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....replies=23</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11141 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:32:19 +0000 Tanya 11141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both Nicole, but as always you'll probably have to try them on. I like the first one slightly better than the second one for you. Somebody here recently tried a tons of BR dresses and posted photos, and that includes the second one in blue. I'll search around to find that post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11126 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:17:35 +0000 Nicole 11126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well if the color is right for my AT skirt, but the shirt is too long, I may have it shortened. That is if I don't find a dress for the wedding. I saw two on BR that I want your collective opinion on...</p> <p><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=35666&#038;pid=564385" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=564385</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=35666&#038;pid=564216" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=564216</a></p> <p>I'm still feeling my way around dresses for my body--so I won't be offended if you guys tell me they are all wrong for me. I just think the models look bottom heavy in those dresses--so maybe they will have the same effect on me--make my top look smaller and my bottom look bigger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11111 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:55:30 +0000 Maya 11111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful top. If I weren't on a shopping ban, I'd be all over the turquoise. Good find, Tanya. I guess shopping for others is helping you get through your shopping ban :)</p> <p>Nicole, they run pretty true to size but maybe a bit big at times. I usually wear an XS regular or S petite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11107 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:47:02 +0000 Angie 11107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a honey-pie Tanya. LOVE these tops for Nicole, and all of us actually. (There is no stopping BR this season . Their new design team has saved them.) </p> <p>Hmmm. I say go for large Nicole. ( Or Tanya’s suggestion). You don’t want these rayon tops to cling too much. The ruching should be fine. I’m excited! Tops might be too long to wear with skirts unless you’re able to scrunch them up. Can you imagine them over your white jeans with a turquoise necklace and those new turquoise thong sandals you bought (plus blue toes). Yum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11101 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:28:52 +0000 Tanya 11101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so glad Nicole! Can't wait to see them on you! And the rouching should be just fine.</p> <p>In my experience they are pretty true to the size, their XS fits me perfectly.<br /> If you're getting two maybe you can get one in M and the other one in L and exchange whichever one is wrong? That way you won't be wondering </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11096 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:21:07 +0000 Nicole 11096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG I LOVE them! I'm going to order the green and the purple print. I'm debating whether I should go Medium or Large. What do you guys think? Does BR run true? Sometimes stretchy tops look better in medium. I am hoping the green is the right shade to wear with my AT white and green skirt. Do you all think the rouching at the shoulders will look okay on me? (Thank you so much Tanya! You are such a sweetie!) :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11093 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:02:41 +0000 Ana 11093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for the green or aqua! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-nicole-br-top-very-similar-to-your-amazingly-fitting-ny038co-one-t#post-11086 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 00:38:02 +0000 Tanya 11086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, I thought you might like to give this one a try considering how amazing you look in your brown-print NY&#38;Co one. The cut is very similar.</p> <p>Here it is in solids ( I think green would be gorgeous on you):<br /> <a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=5041&#038;pid=583868" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=583868</a></p> <p>and in a pretty purple/cream print:<br /> <a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=5041&#038;pid=583865" rel="nofollow">http://www.bananarepublic.com/.....pid=583865</a> </p>
