So glad I did though. &nbsp;I don't have a history of wearing silk so I had no idea how, if there is some ease in the cut,&nbsp;it flows gently over problem areas and makes them seem invisible! &nbsp;It's wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-2013-nas-cream-blouse-hunt#post-981328 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 02:45:06 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 981328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So true; it's odd, huh? <br />I hope it works for you! Maybe you should the medium, too, just in case? (and return one, I mean, not keep both--ha ha!)<br />Anyway, it would be great to see it on you when it arrives! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-2013-nas-cream-blouse-hunt#post-980536 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 05:45:44 +0000 Sylvie 980536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!&nbsp; I'm going to order the Theory blouse in the Large (because I did love the design).</p> <p>So hard to be rational about "the number on the tag" sometimes.&nbsp; Also, that's some seriously exclusionary sizing.&nbsp; I'm below "average US size" so that means the average woman has no chance of wearing Theory clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-2013-nas-cream-blouse-hunt#post-980533 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 05:39:30 +0000 rae 980533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, Theory runs small! Try one more size up. I think it will still look great flowy when you lose weight, but you can always tailor it down, too, if you prefer. Remember you get at least $100 of free tailoring every year with the Nordies card. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-2013-nas-cream-blouse-hunt#post-980532 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 05:36:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 980532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Goldenpig; Theory runs small. I tried on the blouse and had to wear a size larger than my usual. If you size up and could wear it now, and later you lost weight and it became a little looser and more flowy, I think it could still look gorgeous. Still, you might be fine with the size you're showing here. It is really just slightly borderline snug, not even what I would call tight, and it could be partly the way you're holding the camera, and how the light falls, etc. I know my own photos can make things look so different than I feel they look in real life. It's a close call. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-2013-nas-cream-blouse-hunt#post-980527 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 05:28:58 +0000 Diana 980527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Theory blouse but I'd size up too. Theory runs tiny in my experience.</p> <p>Not sure I like the Joie. It seems very square. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-2013-nas-cream-blouse-hunt#post-980525 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 05:24:20 +0000 goldenpig 980525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sylvie, I think that Theory blouse would look great in a large. I don't know much about tailoring, but would think that if you lose weight it's better to be a little loose (with all this talk of fluid fit and oversized being in) than to be too tight. I hear you on the sizing but don't look at the tag. I wear stuff from XS to L and size 2 (Gap) to size 12 (H&amp;M). Crazy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-2013-nas-cream-blouse-hunt#post-980520 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 05:03:18 +0000 Sylvie 980520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie: Both would be worn to work with jeans.&nbsp; For the sleeveless one I might throw a jacket on top... or not.&nbsp; I don't own a single cream colored top, so I'm happy to add either a sleeved or sleeveless top.</p> <p>Firecracker:&nbsp; I think I had a bit of an ego issue because I had to go up to a Medium and I didn't want to try on a Large.&nbsp; I just checked the sizing chart and the Medium does match my physical measurements.&nbsp; I know that six months ago, it would have fit.</p> <p>If I do size up and I lose weight, is it easy enough to tailor?&nbsp; I guess I need to get over myself and just buy the Large. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-2013-nas-cream-blouse-hunt#post-980514 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 04:40:26 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 980514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that Theory blouse, and I think it looks good untucked, too. It is slightly snug; did you try the next size? It looks like a good fit in the shoulders, but even if they were just a little dropped, the blouse might be fine. Either way, I think it's worth getting and trying it out, as you suggest. For me it's the hands-down choice because the styling is so beautiful and different. I agree with you that it's a bonus you wouldn't have to find a cami when you want to wear it--no fuss! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-2013-nas-cream-blouse-hunt#post-980513 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 04:38:50 +0000 goldenpig 980513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How would you wear these? They seem like very different blouses--the first one more like a shell, the second more like a shirt. I think #2 fits you best, but I'm not 100% sold on the cap sleeve shape on you. Have you tried a size up on the shirt, if it's too tight? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sylvie-2013-nas-cream-blouse-hunt#post-980512 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 04:19:31 +0000 Sylvie 980512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I tried on (almost) every single cream/white colored silk blouse that Nordstrom stocks.&nbsp; These two were the best options (I'll spare you the rest of the photos).&nbsp; I'm about to place an order online for the spouse's stuff so I'd like to tack on one of these if you think they'd work.</p> <p>1) Joie sleeveless blouse in smaller size.&nbsp; Fine if tucked in but too tight around the hips untucked,</p> <p>2) Joie sleeveless blouse in larger size.&nbsp; The armholes would expose my bra so a camisole is even more imperative.&nbsp; I had plenty of clearance for my hips, but does it look too big on the shoulders?</p> <p>3)-6) Theory NAS blouse.&nbsp; Tucked (front/back) and untucked (front/back).<br />I really like the design detail of the double layer as well as how it makes me feel much more secure about potential show-through.&nbsp; It's too tight on me untucked (I'm sporting a few extra pounds right now) but I think it is fine tucked in.&nbsp; I can afford to buy/hold onto it for a few months to see if my weight has settled down by the time it gets cold. </p>
