I'll report back.</p> <p>I've never tried fashion tape; I'll have to keep an eye out for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-other-petite-basic-fitted-shirts#post-644511 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 21:47:29 +0000 sarah 644511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna, I have a couple of JCrew shirts (I think I have similar proportions to you). I have to use fashion tape to "close the gap", but once I do that, they fit very well. Good luck, I know how frustrating it is. The BB shirts did not fit me at all. I do wear older BR shirts, but they are from several years ago (and I have to tape the gap on them, as well). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-other-petite-basic-fitted-shirts#post-644500 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 21:38:24 +0000 Victoria 644500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JCrew is simular, I think to BR, because both fit me well. I have narrow shoulders and small bust so if BR didn't work for you, JCrew may not either </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talbots-other-petite-basic-fitted-shirts#post-644498 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 21:34:50 +0000 DonnaF 644498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The search continues. . . .Neither BB nor BR fitted/tailored shirts give me a flattering fit. I think I am too narrow of shoulder, short of neck, and full-busted for them to look good. Same with J.Jill. It is hard to track down Petites in brick'n'mortar stores. For example, they are strictly an online item at Talbots -- and I hate to pay $8 S/H if I am likely to end up with nothing. </p> <p>Are J. Crew shirts cut like BR ones? What about AT ones? Something tells me they have a similar fit so would be a no-go for me. . . .</p> <p>How about Talbots? A different cut?</p> <p>My ancient white shirt from LE fits but is rather boxy and too short for today's lower pants. LE shirts are now cut straight across at the bottom, and I would prefer a tail. Also, I am inclined to think they would probably be a boxy fit on me since I am more hourglass than apple.</p> <p>Have I left any petite stones unturned? How is JCP? Eddie Bauer? I am between a P2 and P4, so if they have size inflation, I can't get a fit.</p> <p>Thanks for your insights. </p>
