I am not against plaid in general, although I feel like a lot of Fossil clothes is on a younger side. I should go check them out in the store, thanks for reminding me of them!<br /> Unfortunately we don't have an FC store here, boo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-woven-tops-for-summer#post-187122 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 04:45:43 +0000 Tanya 187122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love FC on Newberry street, used to go there all the time. I miss Boston a lot ! </p> <p>Good luck with the dress, maybe it will work out after all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-woven-tops-for-summer#post-187120 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 04:43:52 +0000 crazyone 187120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya: it sounds like a 4 would have been my best size...bummer! Maybe I'll go to a FC on Newbury St. and see if they have them...I've seen this dress in person there (though I didn't try it on because the price was so high then) and it's just lovely...</p> <p>Marianne, I don't know how you feel about plaid (I'd totally understand if you thought it was too juvenile), but how about these?</p> <p><a href="http://www.fossil.com/en_US/shop/women/sale/clothing/loretta_top-wc1305p.html?departmentCategoryId=30000&#038;N=0&#038;No=12&#038;Ns=p_wsc9" rel="nofollow">http://www.fossil.com/en_US/sh.....;Ns=p_wsc9</a>|0||p_weight|0&amp;rec=27&amp;pn=c&amp;imagePath=WC1305600</p> <p><a href="http://www.fossil.com/en_US/shop/women/sale/clothing/wendy_top-wc1326p.html?departmentCategoryId=30000&#038;N=0&#038;No=0&#038;Ns=p_wsc9" rel="nofollow">http://www.fossil.com/en_US/sh.....;Ns=p_wsc9</a>|0||p_weight|0&amp;rec=7&amp;pn=c&amp;imagePath=WC1326600 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-woven-tops-for-summer#post-187119 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 04:37:16 +0000 Tanya 187119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure crazyone... I am 35 (30D)-25-36, and I have one FC dress size 4; if that helps.<br /> Angie says they run pretty TTS, but I always find that I need to size up in wovens. I am actually just in the middle of exchanging a pair of bottoms for 4 instead of the original 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-woven-tops-for-summer#post-187118 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 04:35:52 +0000 marianne 187118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tanya, that's super-helpful!<br /> No problem, crazyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-woven-tops-for-summer#post-187116 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 04:32:23 +0000 crazyone 187116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sorry to hijack your thread, Marianne, but since we're on the topic of FC: would a size 6 be too big for me in this dress, Tanya? They had a 4 a few days ago but I didn't order because I thought my size would be a 2... :(</p> <p><a href="http://usa.frenchconnection.com/product/71pk3/floriana+dress.htm" rel="nofollow">http://usa.frenchconnection.co.....+dress.htm</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-woven-tops-for-summer#post-187114 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 04:24:58 +0000 Tanya 187114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are welcome Marianne!</p> <p>I find that they run a bit small. I normally need a 4 in non-stretchy woven tops there, although for one I had to size up to 6 too. I also take 4 in H&amp;M, if that helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-woven-tops-for-summer#post-187110 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 04:15:25 +0000 marianne 187110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh Tanya, thank you! These are so pretty. I should probably avoid flutter sleeves, but the first one looks great. Do you know if their sizes are 2 sizes smaller than US, like H&amp;M, or only 1 size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-woven-tops-for-summer#post-187107 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 04:06:53 +0000 Tanya 187107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOuld any of these work Marianne?</p> <p><a href="http://usa.frenchconnection.com/product/woman+Collections+sale+tops/72CW3/daisy+chain+top.htm" rel="nofollow">http://usa.frenchconnection.co.....in+top.htm</a></p> <p><a href="http://usa.frenchconnection.com/product/woman+Collections+sale+tops/72XE3/dandy+voile+top.htm" rel="nofollow">http://usa.frenchconnection.co.....le+top.htm</a></p> <p><a href="http://usa.frenchconnection.com/product/woman+Collections+sale+tops/72NM3/smooth+operator+top.htm" rel="nofollow">http://usa.frenchconnection.co.....or+top.htm</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-woven-tops-for-summer#post-187105 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 04:03:00 +0000 marianne 187105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're probably right, Maya.

Cookie, Foxcroft shirts used to be somewhat short for me, but tunics might work, I'll check them out.</p> <p>Inge, I think the Dockers shirt, the FC blouse and the 2nd Max Studio top are wovens. I really like the FC top, but not sure the color would work for me. The Max Studio one has empire cut and the neckline is too low for me, but I like the pattern. The Dockers shirt might work though, hmm... going to comb through Zappos a little more.

I have them in short sleeve, long sleeve, and tunic styles. They come in many colors and prints. I just got a new white slim fit pintuck one at the NAS and I am crazy about it. These shirts are so nicely finished that you can wear them untucked and they still look polished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opaque-woven-tops-for-summer#post-186761 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 20:49:55 +0000 marianne 186761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't been able to spend much time on the forum (or shopping) lately, and siince our summer has officially started, I am in desperate need of non-see-through woven tops. I can't seem to find anything that doesn't require a base layer. Could somebody please make any suggestions? The only other requirements are reasonable length (tunic is good too) and natural fiber.<br /> Thanks in advance! </p>
