I'm sized out of XS these days when the fits aren't on the narrow side. That's why I asked :)</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jmclaughlin.com/maia-faux-wrap-sweater-solid-off-white.html">https://www.jmclaughlin.com/ma.....white.html</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisa-p-wrap-front-tops#post-2023752 Thu, 02 May 2019 00:15:42 +0000 lynn 2023752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say the sizes are tts. I size up to a medium sometimes because even though my shoulders are very small, my chest is not and I don’t like a really body con fit. You would probably wear a small and you might enjoy their dresses too. They are so comfortable and travel beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisa-p-wrap-front-tops#post-2023619 Wed, 01 May 2019 14:25:31 +0000 Angie 2023619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lynn,</b> how do the sizes run?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisa-p-wrap-front-tops#post-2023599 Wed, 01 May 2019 12:35:10 +0000 lynn 2023599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that’s it Angie!

Is this it? That's EXACTLY the wrap neck that can work for me! Lots of neck coverage and a shallow V. Well done!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisa-p-wrap-front-tops#post-2023519 Wed, 01 May 2019 00:02:41 +0000 lynn 2023519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, it’s the Maia Faux Wrap Top at J. McLaughlin but I don’t know how to give a length </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisa-p-wrap-front-tops#post-2023492 Tue, 30 Apr 2019 21:58:16 +0000 Gigi 2023492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha, I'm the opposite and like the elastic bottom. I usually shy away from this style because I find it overwhelming and sloppy looking on me, since I have narrow shoulders. But I found this one at Madewell last year, and it works pretty well. I usually wear a lacy black bralette under it to avoid exposing too much cleavage, because the top can really gape under the right circumstances. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisa-p-wrap-front-tops#post-2023433 Tue, 30 Apr 2019 17:39:33 +0000 Anonymous 2023433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look, Jaime. &nbsp;You wear this look really well . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisa-p-wrap-front-tops#post-2023429 Tue, 30 Apr 2019 17:00:47 +0000 Gretchen 2023429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these choices! I agree with Marilyn on elastic bottoms not working for me. But I have a couple with cap/no sleeves that are perfect for summer evenings.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisa-p-wrap-front-tops#post-2023426 Tue, 30 Apr 2019 16:57:38 +0000 smittie 2023426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice, <b>Shevia</b>! I don't think you have particularly wide shoulders.<br />Another person who looks good in this type of top is <b>kellygirl</b>.</p> <p>For some reason, the sleevless ones seem a lot more doable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisa-p-wrap-front-tops#post-2023414 Tue, 30 Apr 2019 16:03:05 +0000 deb 2023414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This style of top never looks right on me. Not sure why. Maybe it is my wide shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisa-p-wrap-front-tops#post-2023406 Tue, 30 Apr 2019 15:40:36 +0000 Angie 2023406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY, <b>Jaime</b>. Thanks for the stylish action. Panache as always :)</p> <p><b>Lisa P</b>, agreed that the streamlined versions are an easier wear and fit. It's tricky. The right wrap-front top will come your way and you'll love it! I will too.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Suntiger</b> and <b>Marilyn</b>, YES. An elastic hem is a bit of a mare.</p> <p><b>Bella,</b>&nbsp;can we see yours? I'm sure it's smashing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisa-p-wrap-front-tops#post-2023379 Tue, 30 Apr 2019 14:41:20 +0000 Jaime 2023379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have me pegged Angie! I love this selection - and when the Rag&amp;Bone blouses go on a 90% sale I will be scooping them up . Meanwhile I am still using this Halogen pick from years ago (I think the pants need a chop though).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisa-p-wrap-front-tops#post-2023377 Tue, 30 Apr 2019 14:35:14 +0000 Anonymous 2023377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seconding Marilyn!

Thank you. &nbsp;I find this type of blouse rarely fits, and is pretty unflattering on me - adding visual bulk in front. &nbsp;Getting the waist/hip to fit without the top half being huge and staying put on my shoulders &nbsp;is also a trick . ( I don't carry extra weight around my torso - just below my waist . ) &nbsp;That said, I do really like the Rag &amp; Bone ones above , but at over $500 Cdn, I'll admire them from afar &nbsp;Thank you for taking the time to answer here and to post pictures - I do appreciate it !&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisa-p-wrap-front-tops#post-2023367 Tue, 30 Apr 2019 14:07:17 +0000 Angie 2023367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks,<b> Lynn</b>.

McLaughlin with a very high vee neck that might work for you. I have it in black and it stays put very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisa-p-wrap-front-tops#post-2023362 Tue, 30 Apr 2019 13:38:17 +0000 Angie 2023362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lisa P, </b>you asked for examples in the blog post yesterday, so I thought it easiest to show you this way. These are wrap-front tops, or drape-front tops.&nbsp; </p> <ul> <li>Very fluid and surrender the waist</li> <li>They have architectural appeal&nbsp;</li> <li>Good look for those who are short-waisted and/or want to conceal midsection bits</li> <li>They&nbsp;can overwhelm a small frame and narrow shoulders, and slide around the body</li> <li>Fab or broader shoulders</li> <li>You&nbsp;almost&nbsp;always need to size down</li> </ul> <p> <div>This is <b>Shevia's&nbsp;</b>favourite&nbsp;style&nbsp;of&nbsp;blouse, and&nbsp;the wears it&nbsp;with the best of them.</p> <p>I like the concept, but can't find one to fit or stay put. I've had two that looked fab as long as I didn't move. Had them altered to fit better too. They still slid around my narrow shoulders until the cows came home - Eventually, I will have one that fits well when I move....</p> <p>Hope that helps you and others.&nbsp;</p> <p></div> </p>
