I have the feeling the fit won't work for me so I will have to enjoy the beautiful blouses on all of you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-equipment-blouse-owners#post-1332385 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 05:49:53 +0000 Marley 1332385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 4 EQ blouses and love them. &nbsp;In my experience they run a little on the large side and are long. &nbsp;I got all 3 of mine (New With Tags) off of EBay for a fraction of the price - so check them out there before you lay down the cash at The Bay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-equipment-blouse-owners#post-1332253 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 01:50:49 +0000 Grey Rainbow 1332253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them, great fabric and interesting patterns and color. I like length and ease and slouch. But for me, hit or miss. Some styles gape at the buttons even sized up -- and I'm not at all busty. Something about the way the armhole is set. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-equipment-blouse-owners#post-1332072 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 22:10:19 +0000 Greyscale 1332072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My heavy-weight Equipment silk stands up very well to washing. I wouldn't trust a sheer fabric like that one&nbsp;in the wash, though - I've had thin silk chiffon sort of shrink in the wash. (The fibers don't shrink, but the weave gets tighter.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-equipment-blouse-owners#post-1332039 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 21:35:27 +0000 catgirl 1332039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have several Equipment silk shirts although I am wearing them much less with my new less dressy job. The one here is gorgeous but it has sheer sleeves so bear that in mind. The slim signature fits TTS, the Signature a bit large. Check on eBay where there are tons for half price or less. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-equipment-blouse-owners#post-1331974 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 20:24:57 +0000 Angie 1331974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my EQ blouses. They are very delicate and well made. I love my EQ jumpers even more actually.</p> <p>Gorgeous blouse, Shannon.&nbsp;xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-equipment-blouse-owners#post-1331967 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 20:21:13 +0000 deb 1331967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my equipment blouses. I throw them in the wash on delicate and dry them in the dryer on cool. They have a great weight to their silk and I think that helps with the way they hang. I wear mine untucked. I also prefer the styles without the pocket flaps. Here is a link to their site.

Maybe that's a good thing - at least for my wallet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-equipment-blouse-owners#post-1331863 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 17:27:30 +0000 Janet 1331863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that they vary in size from one style to the next -- I'm a S in one, a M in another. Lovely fabrics, colors and prints! I'm not disappointed with mine and consider them classics I'll keep for years. Love the plaid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-equipment-blouse-owners#post-1331858 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 17:21:53 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1331858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one signature equipment blouse, too. It is long, and it is not fitted. Basically, I wish I'd bought a size smaller. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-equipment-blouse-owners#post-1331844 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 16:54:53 +0000 kkards 1331844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have 2 equipment blouses, both of which i wear as tunics. one is really long, and IMO would not work tucked as it would bunch way to much&nbsp;. the other is shorter and could work tucked, but would still&nbsp;need to be "bloused up"&nbsp;so that it didn't bunch, &nbsp;and that's a little more fussying than i want. that being said, they bueatiful blouses, and work really well for work and play. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-equipment-blouse-owners#post-1331843 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 16:54:34 +0000 Nicole D 1331843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm tall and the length of sleeves and overall length is good for me....the slim signature is too slim for my appleness, the signature is good...I haven't tried the Brett.&nbsp; They are good, but I honestly don't see that much difference between them and J Crew in quality...could just be me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-equipment-blouse-owners#post-1331786 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 15:51:51 +0000 Parsley 1331786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great blouse!<br />I love Equipment blouses, and have several. They are excellent quality classics that really don't go out of style, IMO.<br />In my experience the Signature style is pretty long and I think it might be longer than you want to wear untucked. My favorite style of Equipment blouses is the Brett, which is usually a little shorter and more fitted. Unfortunately it's not the style that usually comes in the interesting prints.</p> <p>But I just looked on the ShopBop site and they list the length of that plaid blouse as 27", which is the same as the Brett. One way to find out... just enabling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-equipment-blouse-owners#post-1331770 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 15:29:19 +0000 MsMary 1331770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been drooling over that blouse ever since I saw it on Natalie yesterday!&nbsp; I like a longer blouse because it stays tucked, and I don't think it's too long to wear untucked even on short me.&nbsp; I think it would be great on you! </p> <p>/enable </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-equipment-blouse-owners#post-1331764 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 15:17:46 +0000 Suz 1331764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ACK!! Shannon you delicious devil, you. How dare you draw my attention to that gorgeous blouse? Hits every one of my own sweet spots.&nbsp;</p> <p>Equipment shirts vary a bit in cut -- so you would probably have to try it on to be sure.&nbsp;</p> <p>It might be on the long side untucked. My Equipment shirt is not too long to wear untucked but it does rather cut me in half with flats if I wear dark bottoms. (Example below). So I tend to wear it tucked or semi-tucked.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think its ability to cope with the apple will depend on size. Mine is loose in the body on me.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks to you I have just added a $300 top to my wishlist...gah!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-equipment-blouse-owners#post-1331747 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 14:58:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1331747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm almost wishing The Bay wasn't upping their game with higher end brands. There are so many gorgeous items on their website these days. </p> <p>This silk Equipment blouse is absolutely gorgeous IMHO - I adore plaid and this blouse is close to Blackwatch, which is my favorite plaid of all time. I really like how the body of the blouse is opaque but the sleeves sheer. </p> <p>How do Equipment blouses fit? Too long for a petite gal? Won't work over my apple-ness? No, I'm not buying now. Not in the budget. But if there were a hint of potential it might be something I would consider saving for. Just "kicking tires" here... </p>
