I am feeling a lot better about the fit of this shirt now, and I'm sure after the first wear I'll be 100% comfortable with the looseness :D</p> <p>Sveta, thanks for the vinegar tip. I'll look that up and see if it works for linen!</p> <p>Deborah, yep this is the same linen shirt as Angie's pink one (it was one of her <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/06/19/25-fab-summer-tops/">tops picks a little while back</a>).</p> <p>Claire and Inge, thanks for the hair compliments &lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two/page/2#post-673136 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:06:06 +0000 Anonymous 673136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed the first one, but the fit here looks absolutely perfect.

And such a splendid colour on you. I love the entire outfit, with the grey skinnies and animal print pumps. And your new do!!! I didn't have a chance to comment on your other thread, but my word, it is stunning, Aida!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two/page/2#post-673078 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 19:04:54 +0000 Meredith1953 673078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great on you and that color is really beautiful!

Gorgeous! Perfect! I wish I could order this shirt without getting financially robbed by VAT etc </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two/page/2#post-672881 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 14:44:02 +0000 Anonymous 672881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, and I LOVE the new 'do! I saw your earlier thread but I'm not sure I commented. I think the cut is genius for you and I love the defined curls!</p> <p>The blouse is super, Aida. It looks pretty straight from the front, but it still hints at your great hourglass shape from the back. It is not too big at ALL. Keep and love. Maybe sleep in it a few times to loosen it up.

It really doesn't look boxy, Aida. It looks feminine and tailored but just body skimming. Maybe try knotting the waist with this one if you don't feel feminine enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672717 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 05:34:58 +0000 Deborah 672717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! This size is perfect. Aida I am with some others here as i just don't see this as a 'boxy' style. It's kind of semi fitted as it still reveals some shape. The linen creates a somewhat tailored yet relaxed look at the same time. I think this is incredibly flattering on you. Is this the same as Angie's pink one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672658 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 03:25:51 +0000 Anonymous 672658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love,love,love this on you!! It looks amazing with the grey jeans you are wearing. and your hair is adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672652 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 03:21:15 +0000 Sveta 672652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now we are talking! LOVE!<br /> You can try to wash it and rinse with vinegar to soften. I know vinegar makes towels softer so maybe it will do the same for linen?<br /> I imagine this shirt with your new patterned pants (altered of course) - super! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672610 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 02:21:38 +0000 sarah 672610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672597 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 02:06:18 +0000 Aida 672597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! I'll cut those tags off when I get home, try to get that linen to soften up quickly, and probably wear later this week :D</p> <p>Jonesy, thank you for the boxy explanation! I figured after the last post that my "definition" of boxy wasn't quite right since no one else was seeing what I was I will have to readjust that idea in my head. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672576 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 01:41:38 +0000 ManidipaM 672576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Goldilocks would say, this one is *just* right. And no it is not boxy, Aida --- look at that waspish waist in the back view! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672549 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 01:19:40 +0000 JR 672549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another thumbs up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672548 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 01:17:20 +0000 Jenava 672548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it LOOK divine, and I love it with those SHOES. (-: GREAT color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672528 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 00:59:48 +0000 MsMary 672528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oy! I am screaming with delight here!! SO FAB!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672517 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 00:54:17 +0000 Jonesy 672517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great! I'm chuckling a bit at your definition of boxy (if it makes you *feel* boxy). To me, boxy means the garment is shaped like a square or square-ish, so when you put it on, it falls straight down from the armpits, obscuring the shape underneath. It doesn't have any shaping at all, and doesn't hug anywhere (not waist, not hips, not bum). It might drape a bit, depending on the fabric, but in general it's a really straight cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672506 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 00:44:28 +0000 Diana 672506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit on this one is perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672499 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 00:39:22 +0000 Amy 672499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672493 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 00:32:02 +0000 Parsley 672493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A million times better!

Hmm I suppose that isn't correct?</p> <p>JJ, thanks for the heads up! I'll try giving them a call about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672460 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 23:59:12 +0000 Anonymous 672460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did not see the smaller one but this one looks great.

I missed the first post with the smaller size, but I can definitely say this one looks fab. And this COLOR!! It's so great for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672439 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 23:49:57 +0000 Jamie 672439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one looks so good! I'm glad you were able to get it because it is great for you. I have this one in blue, and it's even more roomy, but somehow it still feels fitted. That might be because it's shaped so well and therefore doesn't seem boxy, at least to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672437 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 23:47:56 +0000 rae 672437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the high-and-large bum, Aida. I think that's why I love silk shirts so much - none of that annoying bunching in back. FWIW I don't think of this as a boxy fit, either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-linen-shirt-take-two#post-672430 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 23:37:05 +0000 Aida 672430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woo! I shall wrap up the other size and send it back then :D</p> <p>Angie, I think I'm just not used to boxy button-up blouses on myself! I have a hard enough time finding things that feel properly tailored between my sway back, small waist, long torso, and high-and-large bum. This feels very straight to me, especially from the front and side. With flowy tops I totally get the waist surrender, but with a tailored type of cut like this I think I just need to get used to it is all </p>
