I'm often the sole naysayer, and it takes special effort to bother with your thoughts after a long string of differing opinions. (I was always the first, then felt bad after everyone subsequently raved about an item.) I realize it's not perfect, and the pockets are what they are. And weirdly, though I swear the shirt is not too small, it STILL gapes around the bust! I think it's just the way fabric drapes when you've got too much bust, LOL. I'm considering fabric tape or a secret hook and eyelet. </p> <p>Thanks for your honesty. It's appreciated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-525355 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:27:45 +0000 Deborah 525355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, it's amazing the difference a good bra makes :). I like this on you. The wash of the denim is a really goof color on you. I think this a keeper. Cut of the tags and enjoy . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-525343 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 07:25:12 +0000 catgirl 525343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I'm sticking my neck out here and am going to say I don't love it. My biases: not a huge fan of buttondowns or collared shirts, though I'm giving them a try myself lately. This seems to be sitting too far back on your shoulders, or if it is properly pulled forward I don't like how high the collar seems to sit. As a sister in the welll-endowed category, I'm also not big on the pockets. It could be the camera angle too, because of the way you're standing in that last photo...</p> <p>I'm sorry to be a naysayer and I see I'm in the minority. But I know you're a fan of blunt honesty, so I felt I should speak up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-525123 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:38:20 +0000 rae 525123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked it before, and I like it even more now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-525096 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:06:12 +0000 Mochi 525096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will try that, Angie. If it doesn't work and they won't stay up, maybe you can offer a scrunching tutorial :-)</p> <p>Thank you, shevia, and I so agree about the bras. And yes, this is a really flattering color (I would think it would work on almost anyone), and now that the wheels are spinning in my head, I'm thinking about it with greys, my tricky-to-pair-up white cashmere cardigan, and in all sorts of color and textural combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-525074 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 01:46:21 +0000 Jaime 525074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A good bra makes all the difference. I pay more for bras than most any other item of clothing; my bras are engineering marvels. I love this color shirt on you (I think I said that before ;)) and this one looks good. I think it is theoretically possible to find one with an even better fit on the shoulders, but I would absolutely wear this until then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-525072 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 01:43:07 +0000 Angie 525072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There you go, Nancy! It *is* a well made shirt. I wonder whether you can scrunch the sleeves instead of rolling them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-525016 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:46:34 +0000 Mochi 525016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a regular XL, Angie. And now I've just checked the site, and online it is offered in petite. (But only up to L.) So I feel like I (accidentally) made the right decision. It's not a perfect fit, but I'm happy with it, and I'll wear it with the sleeves rolled up. After a few women mentioned the shoulders being big, I took another look and they do seem slightly roomy, but not that far off. </p> <p>I have to say that since buying it yesterday, I have fast become extremely fond of this shirt. It's comfy, roomy, has a nice casual but flattering cut to it and the color is awesome. I'm curious to see if it will fade with washing...not a problem, but I like it as it is now.) The fabric is durable and it looks well-made, which is one thing I'm fussy about. I will definitely keep my eye open for other brands of denim shirts--I would not mind having one or two more--but I'm really pleased with this one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524993 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:09:39 +0000 Meredith1953 524993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a difference the right bra can make! The "girls" look so much better in the shirt now! Those pockets are pretty small so I wouldn't worry. Thumbs up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524987 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:03:13 +0000 Angie 524987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this exact shirt two days in a row this week, I love it *that* much. </p> <p>Vix, I don't find the position of the breast pockets jarring. In fact, I think they look better off and above the breast sometimes - does that make sense? </p> <p>I don't think that a size down will work because it will pull across the torso and bust line. I really like the fit actually, but do find the sleeves long. Is this the petite, Nancy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524812 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:19:31 +0000 Vix 524812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Mochi --</p> <p>The right bra is definitely doing more justice to your shape! </p> <p>I'm with those wondering about size or just the cut of this shirt, though -- the pockets look way over to the side/armpit. </p> <p>While I generally avoid breast pockets unless I'm desperate (raincoat, sigh) I still feel I can be objective about them and I think you can do better than this shirt (in this size, anyway). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524793 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:46:07 +0000 cinnamon fern 524793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, thanks for posting this - I am totally surprised how much difference the bra makes - now I am going to try this exercise on myself.</p> <p>Especially with the second set of pictures, I wonder how a size smaller would look? The shoulders look a bit big to me, and you certainly have room in the waist to go smaller. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524791 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:43:54 +0000 Patty 524791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just an observation Mochi and not sure if this is indeed what's happening but the shirt seems to rid up--there seems to be lots of space between the back of your neck and the collar making the pockets look high--is this the shirts default position in wear? What happens if you give the shirt a good tug down in front at the hem and bring the collar closer to the nap of your neck?<br /> It is a nice shirt!<br /> I see this coz my button front shirts sometimes do this and it took a while to realize I didn`t set the thing right to begin with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524770 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:02:31 +0000 Janet 524770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you. </p> <p>I find chest pockets quite tricky too, but I find that if they're just the right size and placement, they can actually be flattering. I have on a shirt today that is a lightweight flannel plaid, and quite fitted -- it has chest pockets and it is very flattering because it fits so well. I think the busy plaid helps the pockets blend in more too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524761 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:57:54 +0000 Jonesy 524761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks better, for sure. Is it a pinch too big? (just noticing how the shoulder seams are a bit off of your shoulders) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524757 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:55:02 +0000 Isabel 524757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Mochi, this is a FABULOUS shirt !! I love everything about it. I love patch pockets on the chest...by I also have man-boobs. So it is really going to come down to whether you like them or not. I do . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524752 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:50:09 +0000 Kirti 524752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! The right bra makes the shirt look superb on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524739 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:36:03 +0000 Heather 524739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep!

Too bad they are so difficult to wrestle into. I think the higher pocket placement is a good thing, as long as any bust darts are where the actual boobage is. I vote keep and cut tags! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524725 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:13:16 +0000 Suz 524725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bra improves things considerably. </p> <p>I have noticed that BR shirts tend to have a high pocket placement and even as a flat chested person I sometimes wonder about it. However, I think if you are not staring at the pockets, this is not as noticeable as we fear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524718 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:10:28 +0000 Di 524718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bra does make a difference, but as a fellow busty woman, I have to confess that I really don't care for chest pockets on us. (I'm having a terrible time finding a denim skirt without them, though. *sigh*) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524714 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:04:55 +0000 HelenInCanada 524714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I like this shirt, Mochi! The better bra makes an uplifting (giggle) difference. Keep, for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524711 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:02:46 +0000 Mochi 524711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm starting to get fond of this shirt (I'm still wearing it!) and may want to cut the tags. It wasn't that pricey, and I can always still pick up another one, eh?</p> <p>Thanks, ladies! (and that includes mares and naysayers, too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524710 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:01:53 +0000 missvee 524710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, it looks so much better with the right bra. And I wouldn't worry about the pockets, they are small and neat, and not very noticeable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524705 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 15:57:45 +0000 Queen Mum 524705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MUCH better! I dont mind the pockets at all... if fact, they give the girls "lift"... right smack dab in front would make them look boxy, lower would pull them down. I think this is just right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-try-that-again-br-denim-shirt-with-a-better-bra-this-time#post-524701 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 15:54:10 +0000 Mochi 524701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, pics 1 and 2 are of the BR shirt with the less well-fitting bra. Should have done it right the first time around.</p> <p>Next two are with the good bra. </p> <p>I think...better, but is it still not for me? Because pockets are still up too high in proportion to the position of my breasts...if I were flat-chested, guessing it wouldn't matter as much. </p> <p>This would be a problem no matter which brand I got, if I had pockets. I usually avoid them, but it's hard to with a denim shirt. </p> <p>Thanks for your honest thoughts, as always. </p>
