I can't wait to see the blouse on you. I think that both the sour lemon and white will look gorgeous on with your coloring.</p> <p>I know what you mean about the Caterina blouse. I tried it on and had to pass. size 0 was fine on the top, but the bottom of the short was too tenty and also too short on me ( I am very long-waisted). Such a disappointment, since my local store had the pineapple print for $20! But I guess ut wasn't meant to be </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-solid-frances-blouse#post-12684 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 03:00:49 +0000 aisha1984 12684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Tanya!</p> <p>Wow the cherry blossom print looks absolutely fab on you! I was hoping to get one in cherry blossom but doesn't seem to be in my cards! I ended up getting it in the white and the sour lemon, but I don't think I'll get them until next week. I'm glad to know they fit small since I normally wear a 10/12 in the tops (probably a 12 in the button downs) and they only had 14s available online. It looks like it fits close to the body as well which was my concern (was worried it woudl flare out too much)</p> <p>I'd bought the Caterina blouse recently and sized up for that one, and there was just too much fabric...everywhere! It fit slightly loose thorugh the bust and was just a tent everywhere else! I've since gotten it in a size down (12) and its much better...although I do wish the top was a bit longer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-solid-frances-blouse#post-12681 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 02:57:37 +0000 Tanya 12681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Aisha, I have that blouse in the Cherry Blossom print. I have it in size 2, and I am 32C/XS on the top, and usually I wear size 0 in J Crew blouses, but this one is actually fitted. Mine is slightly sheer, but then again the color is darker. I have not had any problems with the flare. And I do need a cami underneath, and I think that Ana who has it in aqua needed it as well.</p> <p>Here's the photo:<br /> <a href="http://s300.photobucket.com/albums/nn19/dancing_starr/Daily2/?action=view&#038;current=DSCN2936.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s300.photobucket.com/al.....CN2936.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-solid-frances-blouse#post-12676 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 02:50:20 +0000 aisha1984 12676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anyone own this blouse, as shown here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml;jsessionid=TMP4IOV2FVVZACTFEEGRXCQKMUQQ2GUG?id=prod91801153&#038;catId=cat90224" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....d=cat90224</a></p> <p>Any tips on sizing (better to size up/down) and on the sheerness of the fabric?</p> <p>My concern is that the top might flare out too much below the bust line. Has anybody else experianced this?</p> <p>and/or if anybody has a pic of themselves in this blouse, would you mind sharing?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
