I'm tempted by the coral one myself but trying to exercise a little restraint here. After I scoped out LeChateau for you, I happened to wander into Zara and came away with the cream kimono that Suz and Glory have. Now trying to decide just exactly what "wardrobe hole" that item might fill :-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-chateau-banded-silk-tops--thank-you-missvee#post-945603 Fri, 31 May 2013 08:30:48 +0000 ElleH 945603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-chateau-banded-silk-tops--thank-you-missvee#post-945527 Fri, 31 May 2013 04:09:51 +0000 Anonymous 945527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a wonderful buy! I love them both, but frankly I have such a sugar eye for that blue color that I'd be hard pressed to tell if it actually didn't suit someone. I think you should go for the third color as well. We know you look great in coral and these will be workhorses I think. Love that the body of the top is woven, nice and cool!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-chateau-banded-silk-tops--thank-you-missvee#post-945486 Fri, 31 May 2013 03:28:53 +0000 Anonymous 945486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look lovely on you, and coral would also be beautiful. It will be fun to see these in your WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-chateau-banded-silk-tops--thank-you-missvee#post-945473 Fri, 31 May 2013 03:06:45 +0000 bj1111 945473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>score! &nbsp;love that blue. &nbsp;the white and light grey is a genius combo. &nbsp;</p> <p>is it pool weather there already? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-chateau-banded-silk-tops--thank-you-missvee#post-945465 Fri, 31 May 2013 03:00:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 945465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, they look great on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-chateau-banded-silk-tops--thank-you-missvee#post-945409 Fri, 31 May 2013 02:17:38 +0000 Eliza 945409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great on you. I think they will work with much of your wardrobe. Love that shade of blue. Tops that are beautiful alone or layered can be hard to find. Enjoy these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-chateau-banded-silk-tops--thank-you-missvee#post-945401 Fri, 31 May 2013 02:13:29 +0000 Sveta 945401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sus, they are woven silk body with knit rayon bands on the bottom, sleeves and neck. I think the quality is very nice for $40 price tag (actually it says $69 on the actual tag but $39 on the site. Looks like web prices are lower than in the store!<br />Their quality does differ, I have 2 satin silk tunics &nbsp;which are really nice and I also bought&nbsp; a silk shirt I had to return because thin silk was easily snagged. As Angie says never leave the retail stone unturned... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-chateau-banded-silk-tops--thank-you-missvee#post-945393 Fri, 31 May 2013 02:10:25 +0000 sarah 945393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are lovely tops, Sveta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-chateau-banded-silk-tops--thank-you-missvee#post-945390 Fri, 31 May 2013 02:09:04 +0000 Carole 945390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very flattering, Sveta!

Are they silk knit, then? That can be lovely to wear. Yay for leaving no retail stone unturned. And I also thank you for the report; clearly Le Chateau has more quailty than meets the eye if you only go by the offerings at the Kingston store!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-chateau-banded-silk-tops--thank-you-missvee#post-945378 Fri, 31 May 2013 02:04:55 +0000 Sveta 945378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing my love, ladies!

Can't wait to see them in the many outfit variations you will create :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-chateau-banded-silk-tops--thank-you-missvee#post-945356 Fri, 31 May 2013 01:55:59 +0000 Sveta 945356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of you may remember that I was considering some silk tops from Le Chateau in <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-do-you-think-of-this-tops" rel="nofollow">this post</a>. After getting a great advice from the forum and especially a report from the trenches from missvee I decide to pop into my local store to try them on instead of ordering.<br />I tried on <a href="http://www.lechateau.com/style/jump/Silk-Chiffon-Print-Top/productDetail/Tops/302339/catwfr10025?navAction=jump&amp;navCount=10&amp;categoryNav=true&amp;selectedColor=Black/Grey" rel="nofollow">this silky tee</a>. It&nbsp;had a nice drape and might have worked if not for two problems - too sheer front silk panel and too wide neckline. Pass!<br />After I saw this top on the hanger I had to completely agree with missvee assessment: too flimsy silk and way too deep neckline. I did not even want to try it on - definitely pass!<br />Unfortunately the <a href="http://www.lechateau.com/style/jump/Silk-Chiffon-%26-Knit-Top/productDetail/Tops/303968/catwfr10025?navAction=jump&amp;navCount=10&amp;categoryNav=true&amp;selectedColor=Indigo" rel="nofollow">banded tops </a>I really was after were not in the store. However based on missvee&nbsp; report I decided to risk it and order them. It was last Tuesday...<br />...and they arrived today! Remember Angie's outfit post &nbsp;this week when she said she cannot make peace with sweatshirt and that cotton sweater is her version of a sweatshirt? I think these banded tops are MY version of sweatshirt now!<br />Here are the pictures. I got one in indigo and one in alabaster and I really love them. They are short enough to wear with skirts - something I wanted to sport for quite a time - and I also think they work with trousers and BF jeans with faux tuck - like Angie's version.<br />They are lightweight but not see through - as you see no cami is needed, even with the white one if I wear a nude bra. Fabric is nice and substantial and they drape well. I think they are keepers! I even think that maybe I should go for a coral one too?:-)<br />I went with XL.&nbsp;L may have worked in the body as well but I am afraid it&nbsp;might have been&nbsp;a bit tight in the sleeves - and I like silk a bit oversized.</p> <p>All in all I am pleased and going to wear one tomorrow (if I get to ironing it tonight). My hubby likes white better than blue - but I like them both and think that blue shade works for me - what do you think?&nbsp; </p>
