The check is especially awesome. I guess you have done the IT test for us. I had a feeling it would work on our build. Not sure how I'd tuck all that extra fabric under outerwear but it certainly is fab for spring and summer!

Angie tucks her ENTIRE blouse in at the back, Debs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945592 Fri, 31 May 2013 08:01:00 +0000 harmonica 945592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the checked one best, but I am also having concerns about this oversized look. But I must admit that this look hasn't yet grown on me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945573 Fri, 31 May 2013 06:20:10 +0000 Deborah 945573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the idea of these but the oversized ness looks a little extreme particularly in the shoulders. Do I understand correctly that Angie tucks her s in at the back? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945566 Fri, 31 May 2013 05:49:35 +0000 CocoLion 945566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the black and white one. &nbsp;It looks a little more structured and the colors are great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945564 Fri, 31 May 2013 05:49:15 +0000 Lyn D. 945564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I prefer the way the green looks from the side view- (less baggy)<br />but it could just be the photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945560 Fri, 31 May 2013 05:42:23 +0000 Angie 945560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Btw, I do tuck my shirt in. I don't semi tuck the top either. But I do like it semi tucked or untucked for your RATE style, Cathy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945507 Fri, 31 May 2013 03:50:50 +0000 cciele 945507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback everyone! I also have a preference for the check, so good to hear that in some of your comments. I also had reservations regarding sizing, which you have picked up on too!</p> <p>Suz -- Yes, I can think of several ways to wear them, including with jeans! I just happened to throw these on over part of an outfit I was wearing today; glad that worked too :)</p> <p>bj -- Yup, grunge definitely fits in my rocker warrior aesthetic. In fact, I was wearing a plaid buttondown shirt instead of the draped blouse over the same outfit today.</p> <p>Ceit, amiable&nbsp;-- thanks!</p> <p>Parsley -- I prefer the check too! Regarding sizing, I think it is supposed to be oversized. The model was wearing size S, and although she is much taller than me, I have over 4" - 5" in each dimension (chest, waist, hip) than her. So I got my usual size M. Unfortunately they are out of the smaller size to try.</p> <p>caro -- that's a good metric! I feel sassy :)</p> <p>shevia -- LOL on the faces. I didn't know when my SO was taking photos, so I was kind of goofing off! I think I will only keep one.</p> <p>Angie -- well hello back twin! The green is definitely going back. Glad you think the checked works; I was wondering about the size but I know it's supposed to be oversized.</p> <p>Carole -- thanks!</p> <p>Sarah, A&nbsp;-- I hear you. When I first tried it on I thought it was a bit overwhelming too. But I think that is how it is supposed to look. Anyhow, I bat for Team Front View so I will blissfully ignore the potential poochiness of the side view. Although it does look better in motion. </p> <p>Oh, also -- when I wear with pants, I can do a semi-tuck to tame some of the volume. The black tube skirt I am wearing&nbsp;is not amenable to tucking, so the shirt's hanging free in those photos.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945484 Fri, 31 May 2013 03:24:46 +0000 Anonymous 945484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm the oddball too. Is it possible the drape is too big? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945414 Fri, 31 May 2013 02:19:07 +0000 sarah 945414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I'm the spanner here, but they just seem enormous on you. But I will admit that this look has not yet grown on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945402 Fri, 31 May 2013 02:13:31 +0000 Carole 945402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fun style.

Love the first picture especially! I love this sort of shirt and the second color is great but I think the checked one hangs a bit better. Would you keep them both? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945305 Fri, 31 May 2013 01:17:56 +0000 Caro in Oz 945305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I love both - looks like a fashion shoot How do you feel in them? That&nbsp;is the important question imo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945296 Fri, 31 May 2013 01:12:49 +0000 Parsley 945296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both of them, with a slight preference for the checked one if you were only choosing one.<br />After seeing the solid color one on you and Sona, I wonder- does it run big? It has seemed pretty ample on both of you. Do you recommend sizing down, or do you think that's just the way it's supposed to be? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945292 Fri, 31 May 2013 01:07:45 +0000 amiable 945292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945277 Fri, 31 May 2013 00:56:22 +0000 Anonymous 945277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of them on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945276 Fri, 31 May 2013 00:55:40 +0000 bj1111 945276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the plaid reminds of grunge taken to the 21st century. &nbsp;is this part of your style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945273 Fri, 31 May 2013 00:52:42 +0000 Suz 945273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them on you, Cathy! Can you see yourself wearing them? I think they'd be a lot of fun. Do they work with pants or jeans as well? One thing I wonder about them, when you bend over, does the fabric sort of flop around? Or are they sewn so that doesn't happen?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/funktional-draped-blouses-yay-or-nay#post-945270 Fri, 31 May 2013 00:49:59 +0000 cciele 945270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Curious to check out draped blouses, as per Angie's recent blog post, I ordered the checked one that she has, and the emerald one Una ordered (and I believe Sona has this one in blush).</p> <p>What do you think? The silhouette is definitely voluminous on me at certain angles. Do either work? Neither?</p> <p>Will let you know what I think later Thanks for your honest feedback!</p>
