So, I'll be going just to be sure of sizing. . .</p> <p>I am looking forward to being BB twins (triplets?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179789 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 19:25:45 +0000 taylor 179789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wilson, it is this shirt:)</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/46729777@N06/4721492651/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....otostream/</a></p> <p>These shirts are crisp, that is why the collar stands SO well. And just to repeat do not use fabric softener, it makes them too soft.</p> <p>Although they are crisp, they are not stiff or starchy feeling:)!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179786 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 19:11:49 +0000 April 179786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And here is another blouse style (very similar, but has French cuffs, a different collar, and comes in one more color): <a href="http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&#038;Section_Id=318&#038;Parent_id=314&#038;Product_Id=1460854&#038;default_color=Black" rel="nofollow">http://www.brooksbrothers.com/.....olor=Black</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179784 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 19:05:24 +0000 April 179784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For some reason, on the site they are calling the non-petite version a shirt and the petite version a blouse, but I think they are the identical style:</p> <p>Regular ("shirt"):<br /> <a href="http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&#038;Section_Id=689&#038;Product_Id=1327362&#038;Parent_Id=302&#038;default_color=BLACK&#038;sort_by=&#038;sectioncolor=&#038;sectionsize=" rel="nofollow">http://www.brooksbrothers.com/.....ctionsize=</a></p> <p>Petite ("blouse"):<br /> <a href="http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&#038;Section_Id=408&#038;Product_Id=1416885&#038;Parent_Id=241&#038;default_color=BLACK&#038;sort_by=&#038;sectioncolor=&#038;sectionsize=" rel="nofollow">http://www.brooksbrothers.com/.....ctionsize=</a></p> <p>Also, MNS, I think the fabric is substantial enough that tucking in might feel bunchy, but you could put a sweater or vest over the top with no problem. Taylor, do you tuck yours in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179780 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 18:48:47 +0000 wilson 179780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can someone direct me to Taylor's recent post with the shirt? I can't seem to find it &amp; am curious. Thanks!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179689 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 14:11:32 +0000 MNsara 179689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, thanks for the pics and the blouse/shirt definition. I like the blouse neckline better, but can't find any 'blouses' online. I will ask at the store.</p> <p>Taylor, someone reviewing the shirt commented on the extra length and how that was nice with low rise pants ;-)</p> <p>April or Taylor - someone also commented that these are crisp enough that they work better alone - not tucked into a skirt or under a sweater. What do you ladies think? April, I can see yours under a vest and it looks fine to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179663 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 09:54:38 +0000 April 179663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this one in white: <a href="http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&#038;Section_Id=408&#038;Product_Id=1416885&#038;Parent_Id=241&#038;default_color=BLACK&#038;sort_by=&#038;sectioncolor=&#038;sectionsize=" rel="nofollow">http://www.brooksbrothers.com/.....ctionsize=</a> and it also fit with no alteration (in a petite size). It's the one I'm wearing here: <a href="http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/Woven%20shirts/IMG_0647.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i649.photobucket.com/al.....G_0647.jpg</a>.</p> <p>Note that when they call something a "blouse," the buttons don't begin right at the top, as they do when they call it a "shirt," but lower down. It's like it has a built-in open V-neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179645 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 07:00:16 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 179645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are so lovely, again I am jealous about the online shopping options in the UK. There is a Brooks Bros on Regent Street in London, but no online shopping option - not that finding a size 0 is really an issue for me ;).</p> <p>I haven't once popped in, I am slightly intimidated by the shop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179643 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 06:53:48 +0000 Megan 179643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow- these are totally gorgeous! I totally want a black and a white one!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179625 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 05:08:14 +0000 Angie 179625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's on my shopping list. I take clients to BB's and love the quality. But have never found anything in stores to fit. You have given me new hope by ordering online. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179619 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 04:29:56 +0000 taylor 179619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>def, give the tailored 0 a try Angie:) they have a little longer shirttail hem too, which I like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179615 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 04:25:05 +0000 Angie 179615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, Taylor! No alterations? Guess where my next white button down is coming from. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179538 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 23:29:03 +0000 MNsara 179538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, Taylor </p> <p>I think their sale runs through the 6th (just two more days!) both in stores and online. </p> <p>You are in good shape when you already know what works for you! I hope I am impressed when I check them out tomorrow in person. . .</p> <p>And thanks for the fabric softener tip - I am usually too lazy to bother with it, but that clinches it for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179523 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 22:29:52 +0000 Anonymous 179523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tip. I'll have to check out their website. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179510 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:07:37 +0000 taylor 179510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank You Sara, I really love these.</p> <p>They come in 3 different fits, tailored, fitted and classic. Tailored is their slimmest fit,so I order a 0 on line, they don't carry my size in stores They are beautifully tailored and very slim fitting:) No alterations needed:)</p> <p>I didn't realise they were having a sale, so thanks for the heads up. </p> <p>Just so you know, these wash up GREAT, but DO NOT use fabric softener, it ruins the never iron factor and makes them too soft!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-taylor-on-alterationsbrooks-bros#post-179503 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 20:39:40 +0000 MNsara 179503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Taylor - I can't stop thinking about how great you looked in your recent post where you were wearing your white no-iron Brooks Brothers shirt (with popped collar, no less :-)</p> <p>Did it fit you that perfectly as it came, or did you have that altered. . . ?</p> <p>(Brooks Bros is having a sale (for a couple more days) and I may check them out, but wondering what to expect ;-)</p> <p>Thank you, Taylor! </p>
