Too much pull for me is when I move my arms and the shirt is on the move too. Sometime pull happens even when the shirt fits. </p> <p>How about you wear a cotton cami or tank under the shirt (the way men do) and see if the pulling stops. The cotton (and it should be cotton or mostly cotton -- other materials won't do much for the slipping) provides some friction and keeps the shirt in place so that you can reach bend comb your hair etc. and not have to worry about providing a peep show ;-)&nbsp; </p> <p>A cotton underpinning works for&nbsp; usually because sometimes the smoothness of the bra material provides <i><b>way </b></i>too much slip. You could try this before doing tailoring because you may not need to tailor if the cotton keeps the shirt in place. </p> <p>Let me know if that works </p> <p>Oh, one more thing -- I don't know if you're already wearing petite sizes in your shirts but it seems like your arm length issues would be solved too if you tried out petites.&nbsp; All of my button downs are petites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1029435 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:42:16 +0000 Adelfa 1029435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1029419 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:19:34 +0000 Angie 1029419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I am proud of you too, sweet Adelfa. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1029332 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:21:01 +0000 Adelfa 1029332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That will be great, Angie! I'm all unreasonably proud of myself because I sized up. That can be hard for me to do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1029316 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:08:23 +0000 Angie 1029316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lets try to make it work when you get the larger size. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1029301 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:55:08 +0000 Adelfa 1029301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I have short arms, and *never* wear sleeves long. Just this once I was so excited about the white cuff, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1029268 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:34:52 +0000 Angie 1029268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm excited about a size up, but worry about the already too long sleeves. The combination - if the fit works - is just great on you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1029238 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:07:13 +0000 Beth Ann 1029238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty blouse!&nbsp; Sometimes I place a little circle of velcro right at the apex of my bustline, particularly if the blouse is generous in size, but the button placement is a bit off.&nbsp; If the blouse is large enough that you don't have to fully unbuttom it, you can place a couple of stitches in the same location.&nbsp; </p> <p>This would look terrific layered under a bright jacket, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1029123 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 11:20:37 +0000 dakotacheryl 1029123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blouse on you Adelfa...blouses are always so difficult for me to love due to the button placement/pulling/gaping issue.</p> <p>If there is not a button directly at the fullest part of the breast, there is gaping. If there is not enough room at the fullest part, you get pulling...sigh </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1029056 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 05:54:53 +0000 Adelfa 1029056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all. I have been living with gapping for so long that it had gotten to seem normal. I have reordered one size up. Silk shirts are fairly new for me and it's possible that the extra material won't seem boxy or bulky, the way it would in cotton say. I'll show you the new one and keep the current one and then we can decide if sizing up is better or if I should try the snap technique!</p> <p>Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1029047 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 05:40:15 +0000 rae 1029047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look and think you can style it in many ways. I noticed the pulling, too, but I am like you and prefer for the fit not to get boxy. I like putting a little snap in between the offending buttons.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1029026 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 05:14:40 +0000 In My Joi 1029026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks lovely! Hmm, if it is pulling at the bust, sometimes sizing up adds too much fabric in the arms, shoulders and other areas. I usually safety pin it on the inside seam. Probably not the best solution, but... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1029016 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 04:40:17 +0000 suzyq 1029016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first pic looks like a shipping wrinkle, the 2nd looks like pulling. &nbsp;Not sure about the fit but the style looks very fresh and crisp. &nbsp;Is this modern classic? (sorry I'm in the learning phase)&nbsp; Love the echo of the blue nails. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1029012 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 04:20:30 +0000 Debbie 1029012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One thing I do is put snaps between the buttons. You can't tell the snaps are there and the pulling stops.<br /> I love the blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1029004 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 03:47:44 +0000 Adelfa 1029004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very glad DV brought this up! I tend to put up with a bit of pulling so that the overall fit is not too boxy. But I'm willing to consider tailoring an option! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1028990 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 03:18:34 +0000 DonnaF 1028990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On me, I've noticed that shirts that may be fine when I stand will pull when I sit down.&nbsp; Also, the fit may depend on which bra I'm wearing at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1028985 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 03:13:57 +0000 Lantana 1028985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This shirt looks good the way you've styled it. It sits well on the shoulder but pulls a little across your bust. I would suggest moving the buttons across a 1/4", see how that looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1028968 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 02:46:01 +0000 Adelfa 1028968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DV, do you have standards for pulling? &nbsp;This one doesn't pull if it's set right on my shoulders and I'm not bringing my elbows back. Unfortunately shirts tend to crawl down my back and then they pull. Or if I make any exaggerated movements, it's going to pull. The line you can see in the photo is a wrinkle from shipping.</p> <p>How do you judge if a shirt is big enough across the bust?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1028961 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 02:37:37 +0000 Day Vies 1028961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the fit at the shoulder and the classic design. Is it pulling at the bust? If so I would return it get the next size up and tailor it down. where needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1028914 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 01:24:56 +0000 Suz 1028914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! But then you know me....classic in spite of myself, LOL.&nbsp;</p> <p>Seriously, it looks good on you. Just a question of whether you feel it expresses what you want.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1028904 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 01:15:09 +0000 Deborah 1028904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's all in how you wear it. It looks modern classic to me with the white jeans and semi tuck:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-at-lane-striped-shirt#post-1028897 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 01:10:52 +0000 Adelfa 1028897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, but I'm not sure if it reads stuffy or modern classic. What do you think? </p>
