I found an inexpensive cream silk blouse at Joe Fresh. It needs a cami under it though. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-mod-in-ny-urgent-have-to-return-while-here">Here are pics of it&nbsp;8, 9 &amp; 10.</a>&nbsp;It has a contrasting placket but only a&nbsp;slightly darker shade of cream.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-everlane-silk-blouse#post-949525 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 02:41:57 +0000 Anonymous 949525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the blouse with the black placket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-everlane-silk-blouse#post-949492 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 02:01:01 +0000 Sveta 949492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You may want to try Club Monaco. The black silk blouse I got is completely not sheer so I suspect <a href="http://www.clubmonaco.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=15646936&amp;cp=12266412.12280896.12280899.13030075&amp;ab=ln_sale_apparel_shirts" rel="nofollow">white one </a>would be substantial too. They have a model with black cuffs and collar&nbsp;and it is on sale now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-everlane-silk-blouse#post-949483 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 01:48:24 +0000 Jaime 949483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was a very helpful review! I have looked at their shirts and wondered although I don't need any silk shirts right now. Anyway I think the smaller size looks great on you fwiw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-everlane-silk-blouse#post-949454 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 01:29:58 +0000 Angie 949454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a shame :(. I LOVE the contrast packet. It bookends your hair :)</p> <p>Beautiful blouses, Hannah! xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-everlane-silk-blouse#post-949436 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 01:15:42 +0000 catgirl 949436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that if you don't like the placket now, you will only continue to dislike it more along the way... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-everlane-silk-blouse#post-949434 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 01:13:09 +0000 Charmian 949434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>@Kristin SF</b>: wearing white underneath white is the worst-case scenario when doing&nbsp;a sheerness test! &nbsp;The sheerness is not as obvious&nbsp;with a nude bra. &nbsp;Keep in mind&nbsp;I have very low tolerance for sheerness; even the blush version bothers me slightly (if you squint you can see my bra and jeans), which is why I didn't post a photo of me in the white wearing only a bra.</p> <p>I love the blouse in other colours, but at the moment I'm trying to fill a specific hole in the cream/nude department. &nbsp;Thanks for the review of their other products -- I'll keep Everlane&nbsp;in mind as we roll into autumn!</p> <p><b>@kkards</b>: thanks for the wisdom; a closet orphan is definitely what I'm trying to avoid!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-everlane-silk-blouse#post-949062 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:53:27 +0000 kkards 949062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1st thanks for the review. i have been reading about this company, but had not ordered anything.<br />i think that the fit in #2 &amp;3&nbsp;is good, but if you dont like the contrast placket, than it will probably end up orphaned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-everlane-silk-blouse#post-949053 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:29:06 +0000 Kristin SF 949053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you dislike the contrast placket, then I think you have your answer right there, unfortunately. Don't settle!</p> <p>Thank you so much for the review. I was eyeing the white but now I think I'll pass due to the sheerness factor. That is quite sheer!</p> <p>I have these shirts in black and navy. Have you considered those colors?</p> <p>I wasn't so thrilled with their t-shirts, they were meh. But the Ryan shirt is lovely, I bought 2. Just wish they came in more colors!</p> <p>I also tried out their cashmere and their sweatshirts -- love them both, they are very nice. The sweatshirts in particular are similar to my James Perse sweatshirt, for a much more reasonable cost. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-everlane-silk-blouse#post-949048 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:17:07 +0000 Charmian 949048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Several of the bloggers I follow have been going nuts over <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.everlane.com">Everlane</a> for its high quality-to-price ratio. &nbsp;It seemed a bit overhyped to me -- you need a membership to even browse their site! -- but I was on the lookout for a tailored, cream or nude, minimalist,&nbsp;feminine silk blouse and thought I'd give them a bash.</p> <p>I ordered their "white" and their "blush" in S and M. &nbsp;The silk itself has all the drape (weight + flowiness) of an Equipment blouse, but the texture is slightly&nbsp;less brushed/fuzzy; it's still brushed silk, but it's&nbsp;smoother to the touch and has&nbsp;an ever-so-slight sheen that my Equipment signature blouse doesn't. &nbsp;The "white" colorway even has mother-of-pearl buttons to play off of this slight sheen; gorgeous!</p> <p>Their sizing is somewhere between an Equipment Brett (their standard size)&nbsp;and an Equipment Signature (which is their oversized style). &nbsp;For reference, here's <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-828---new-equipment-blouse-and-mind-the-gap">me in a Signature (S)</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse">me in some Bretts (S and M)</a>.</p> <p>As for the blouses themselves: the "white" is&nbsp;actually a lovely eggshell / soft white with the faintest hint of cream. &nbsp;Unfortunately, it&nbsp;was too sheer for my tastes (though&nbsp;I have an admittedly&nbsp;low tolerance for sheerness). &nbsp;Although I would never wear it out of my apartment in&nbsp;this way, I used the same white lace cami that I did for <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tale-of-two-silk-blouses----are-either-worth-keeping">my other white silk blouse</a>&nbsp;to assess its sheerness; the Everlane showed&nbsp;even more of the lace detail than my current one does&nbsp;and I decided to pass on this colour altogether.</p> <p>The "blush" itself is&nbsp;almost a taupe: there is very little yellow at all in it. &nbsp;I find the color neither flattering nor unflattering, but my husband dislikes it on me. &nbsp;I find the contrast placket utterly beautiful when buttoned up all the way, but very very distracting when worn open; I worry that the lack of flexibility will cause me to eventually dislike it. &nbsp;I love the minimal, feminine vibe&nbsp;of the blouse (oh, how I wish they would offer the blush without a contrast placket!) but don't want to settle if it's not "the one".</p> <p>So, with the mini-review said and done: should I keep either the small or medium blush blouse? &nbsp;As a reminder, I'm looking for classic fitting&nbsp;(not oversized), minimal, and feminine. &nbsp;Keep me honest, ladies!</p> <p>#1 - Lace cami seen through the "white" blouse. &nbsp;Not for me.<br />#2 &amp; #3&nbsp;- Small "blush"<br />#4 &amp; #5 - Medium "blush", worn in various stages of unbuttoning to show the distracting placket. </p>
