Verdict: beautiful shirt but not for me. The cut is very straight - on my shape it is a little too big in the shoulders, perfect in the bust, wide through the torso (I would prefer a bit of tailoring to hint at a waist), and just fits in the hips. The arms are very generously cut which is nice because in middle age I have larger arms and it's become a major fit issue.&nbsp; That said, they are almost too big! But all this was actually fairly obvious from the photos had I analyzed a bit more. They don't have a more fitted cut of shirt, only a more oversized one. So clearly they are not aiming for a tailored style which is fine.&nbsp;The fabric is thick and wouldn't be 4 season for me as they claim, maybe useful for cool nights camping or something, but definitely more of a F/W item for me.&nbsp;<br />I am trying to shop better quality, more selectively and from Canadian made brands, so this was part of the effort. I got a Cyber week discount that compensated for the $10 shipping, and returns are free within Canada. I don't regret the $10 to try this item, being more open to shipping/returns costs is part of the deal for the brands I want to try.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://powerofmypeople.com/collections/proper-fit-1/products/the-keeper-proper-fit-1">https://powerofmypeople.com/co.....oper-fit-1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/power-of-my-people-linen#post-2183571 Wed, 31 Mar 2021 10:39:14 +0000 Jules 2183571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Somehow I was already following them on Instagram (I have been looking for Canadian made brands recently), but not seeing their posts so thanks for mentioning them. It’s timely. The woven tees look interesting, off to take a closer look... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/power-of-my-people-linen#post-2183416 Tue, 30 Mar 2021 15:10:00 +0000 BlueJay 2183416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Cardiff girl </b>and<b> Isabel</b>.<br /><b></b><br />Thanks for the introduction to Stylebee <b>viva.<br /></b><br /><b>Anu</b> and <b>kkards</b> yes, the diversity with the models are great!

But it's substantial and beautiful. I found the brand through Stylebee, another Canadian blogger.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/power-of-my-people-linen#post-2183377 Tue, 30 Mar 2021 00:38:20 +0000 Isabel 2183377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love Alyssa !</p> <p>I have had white linen shirts over many summers.&nbsp; And I am a stickler for sunscreen and I have never had a problem with yellowing them. I mainly get mine from JJill and Gap.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/power-of-my-people-linen#post-2183349 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 19:19:45 +0000 Sal 2183349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoy Alyssa too!</p> <p>That spray sunscreen is terrible for yellowing clothes. The filmy type. I find lotion ones cause less damage to clothing - but are terrible on cars!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/power-of-my-people-linen#post-2183341 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 19:04:30 +0000 BlueJay 2183341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cat2</b> I'm not sure. It may have been the sunscreen I was using. I think I was using Woolite to wash it because I was afraid of damaging the fibers, and I did leave it to soak in Oxyclean and then put it out on the line in the sun to try to lighten it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks <b>Irina</b> and <b>Angie</b>! It must have been me, then. haha :)</p> <p><b>missvee</b> and <b>Deb</b>, thanks for the endorsement of POMP.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LaPed</b> and <b>Style Fan</b>, we'll have to one day treat ourselves and buy a shirt someday soon!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/power-of-my-people-linen#post-2183338 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 18:59:40 +0000 Cardiff girl 2183338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sunscreen will stain white clothes yellow so be aware of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/power-of-my-people-linen#post-2183335 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 18:55:05 +0000 Anu 2183335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for telling us about this brand!

Quality fabric and workmanship and washes beautifully. I can only imagine the linen is to the same high standard.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/power-of-my-people-linen#post-2183304 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 15:00:26 +0000 cat2 2183304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have found that some deodorants will make white clothing yellow, could that have been it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/power-of-my-people-linen#post-2183301 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 14:49:33 +0000 BlueJay 2183301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, thanks for the ideas and knowledge. Maybe it was the sunscreen that changed the colour. It made me sad.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/power-of-my-people-linen#post-2183298 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 14:37:46 +0000 LaPed 2183298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As long as you don't use chlorine bleach on it, linen won't yellow. If you want to keep it bright white, use Oxiclean (sodium percarbonate).&nbsp;</p> <p>I've only heard good things about Power of My People and would love to try one of their shirts someday. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/power-of-my-people-linen#post-2183295 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 14:35:32 +0000 missvee 2183295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I bought a linen shirt from them last year, Proper Fit in terra cotta, and I love it. &nbsp;The linen is a substantial weight, and washes really well. I ordered the white first but wanted a looser fit, and of course the larger size was sold out by then. &nbsp;As I recall, the white was more of an off white, leaning to ivory. &nbsp;Their customer service is very good and the exchange went smoothly, so I could recommend them wholeheartedly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/power-of-my-people-linen#post-2183293 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 14:31:29 +0000 Angie 2183293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Irina</b> said </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/power-of-my-people-linen#post-2183290 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 14:22:39 +0000 Irina 2183290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t know the brand but want to reassure you - white linen doesn’t turn yellow. I have a top and a shirt from Gap that I bought in 2015 and both are perfectly white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/power-of-my-people-linen#post-2183286 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 14:13:36 +0000 BlueJay 2183286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has anyone bought anything from Power of My People? Their shirts look so lovely. I "discovered" them through Alyssa Beltempo a Canadian vlogger. I would like to buy a white shirt in Proper Fit, but I wasn't sure if I could stand having them be oversized. </p> <p>Also, I'm afraid of the linen turning yellow.</p> <p>I think the quality of linen is quite good and they're clothes are made in Canada! They ship to all of North America.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>
