I am happy to post, if you like?</p> <p><a href="http://shop.hm.com/dk/shoppingwindow?dept=DAM_TRI_LIN&#038;shoptype=S" rel="nofollow">http://shop.hm.com/dk/shopping.....shoptype=S</a></p> <p>If you drop me a PM I will order and forward to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-342239 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 21:02:34 +0000 MsMary 342239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was at H&amp;M today and saw the dress. It looks like it runs pretty large, although I didn't try it on. (Does anybody else find that H&amp;M's sizing is just all over the place, by the way?) The workmanship looked like what you'd expect from H&amp;M -- cheap enough that I decided it wouldn't pass muster for me as a work dress and that's why I didn't try it on. It has a long exposed zipper in back and the stitching just didn't look awesome, you know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-342186 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 18:32:52 +0000 Angie 342186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, I didn't touch the dress so I can't vouch for it's workmanship. </p> <p>The top looks better in the photos by about a million percent. First, it's a knit, and in the photo it looks like a drapey woven blouse. The knit top has zero drape and it was hemmed with beige top stitiching straight onto a black stripe - which I think cheapens the look of the garment. The blogger bought a version where the beige top stitching is stitched onto the beige stripe, which looks better (a lucky production fluke). Anyway, FWIW - that was my impression. </p> <p>On that note, I've found that many, many clothes look better in photos than they do irl. One has to be quite careful. Go Team Store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-342178 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 18:18:43 +0000 MNsara 342178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I guess I haven't had enough coffee yet. Can you clarify 'very photogenic' - does that mean it photographs better than it looks IRL. If so, what aspect? </p> <p>I like the dress fabric well enough (although I did have to sort through 6 dresses to find one whose stripes matched at the seams and whose sleeves were pretty much equal in striping, etc. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-342170 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 18:04:57 +0000 MsMary 342170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So. Chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-342168 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 18:03:26 +0000 Angie 342168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this top at H&amp;M yesterday and was really disappointed. Let's just say it's VERY photogenic. The blogger looks amazing in the photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-342162 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 17:48:56 +0000 MNsara 342162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, rosee - a very good idea if I wasn't so lazy and unsure of the results! </p> <p>I boughgt the dress yesterday to think about it - will start a different thread for input. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-341315 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 13:38:03 +0000 Vani 341315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I NEED that top too....thanks for posting Sara!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-341247 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 05:58:08 +0000 rosee 341247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>if you don't find the top, you could also chop and sew the dress to the perfect length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-341233 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 04:30:33 +0000 MNsara 341233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found pics of the dress here:<br /> <a href="http://theveryyoungatheart.blogspot.com/2011/04/h-striped-dress.html" rel="nofollow">http://theveryyoungatheart.blo.....dress.html</a><br /> and here:<br /> <a href="http://www.hm.com/gb/product/83358?article=83358-A" rel="nofollow">http://www.hm.com/gb/product/83358?article=83358-A</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-341232 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 04:25:08 +0000 MNsara 341232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea, anna! However, I already own a *very* bold black and cream striped H&amp;M cotton sweater dress (do I sense a theme here?) that I break up with a black sleeveless blazer. It works beautifully, *I* think ;-)</p> <p>Anyway, I think I can get more use out of the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-341229 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 04:17:44 +0000 anna 341229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great top, I loved how she had styled it. Couldn't the dress also work well with a jacket on top if you want to minimize the impact of all those stripes a bit ? I hope you find it ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-341227 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 04:15:56 +0000 MNsara 341227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Steph - no tapering, barely A-line shape, almost straight, and quite short. But the fabric is a substantial knit (cotton/spandex, I think, but I read a lot of labels tonite!) and it has an exposed zipper down the back.</p> <p>Where are you finding pics of the dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-341224 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 03:58:09 +0000 Steph 341224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, I love the top, but after you mentioned the dress I looked it up and really love it! Does it just kind of fall tent-like, or does it have any tapering at the waist? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-341217 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 03:45:59 +0000 MNsara 341217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Maya - if you found one, that would be incredible!! I think I'd wear a Small. That was a better fit in the dress than the Medium (dresses came S,M,L). If they are numbered sizes, I think I'd be a 6 or 8 at H&amp;M.</p> <p>I had figured that the H&amp;M/Mall of America should have the most selection. . .but the workers had never even seen it in a *top*.</p> <p>Thank you so much for offering to look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-341215 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 03:34:45 +0000 Maya 341215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable. There are about 10,000 H&amp;Ms here so while I can't get to all of them, I'll check the ones that are near work. What size would you need? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-341214 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 03:24:50 +0000 modgrl 341214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE IT!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-341213 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 03:24:10 +0000 annagybe 341213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously cute blouse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-definitely-need-this-hm-top#post-341212 Fri, 29 Apr 2011 03:21:59 +0000 MNsara 341212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am absolutely enamored with the H&amp;M top in this post (of course she is so adorable and wears it SO perfectly -- half kate spade, half Audrey Hepburn):<br /> <a href="http://atlantic-pacific.blogspot.com/2011/04/pop.html" rel="nofollow">http://atlantic-pacific.blogsp.....4/pop.html</a></p> <p>I even ran to the Mall of America H&amp;M today, but they only have the short sleeve dress version (and that's a few too many of those adorable stripes IYKWIM).</p> <p>Has anyone seen this *top*? </p> <p>I have another H&amp;M to try, then I may need to start begging for someone who would pick one up for me </p>
