I have a few of these. They aren't 100% flawless - I have SOME gap-age, but the button-holes are spaced closer together than the average button-down, and I have sewed tiny snaps in between the button-holes around the bust to keep things closed. They have nice curved seaming and are pretty hourglass-friendly. The roll-tab detail makes the sleeve length versatile since you can roll it down to full length if needed. It might be a good option for you to try for a white button-down. That being said, they are nowhere near by Carissa Rose blouse, but I know you have been down that road before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-endless-to-do-list#post-235233 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 02:18:10 +0000 Maya 235233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep thinking I'm "done" and yet it never happens. Sigh.</p> <p>I'm desperately in need of tops with long sleeves--sweaters or blousey tops--no knits. I was about to get 2 sweaters from ATL with the promo they're having now, but then I realized one is "polyacrylic." I don't know what the difference between polyacrylic and acrylic is, but anything with acrylic in it leaves me cold. </p> <p>I'm just not sure where the best place to find inexpensive, yet decent quality knitwear is. Suggestions? I'm looking for tops with some interest--not just basic v necks or anything. One of the sweaters I was interested in had fat rugby stripes and a big fluffy cowlneck, and the other was a dolman sleeve sweater in a bright purpley-pink color.</p> <p>Woven tops as usual will just be a frustrating uphill battle because I feel like I overloaded on voluminous styles and don't have enough fitted styles--understandably, since fitted tops are much harder to fit.</p> <p>On that note, one of the things I'm really in need of is a basic white buttondown for layering. I'd like one that is non-iron and that fits me--but fit alone is such a challenge. Still, I know if it's too much of a stiff cottony material, I'm probably not going to wear it. My Michael Kors tunic shirt is more or less orphaned because the wrinkling drives me mad. I keep meaning to buy this very basic item and yet the ironing thing means I neve get around to it. Again: suggestions are welcome. </p> <p>I also need scarves, which are harder to shop for than I thought. The ones I really like are expensive and the rest are boring and suffering the same color sickness as everything else this season.</p> <p>Finally, my BF blazer seems a little big. I'm not sure why since I don't think I'm any smaller than when I first bought it, but I'm swimming in it. I'd really like a replacement but once again, can't find what I want at the right price. Black, semifitted, single breasted...well more or less like this: </p> <p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/3dc0120a.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....c0120a.jpg</a></p> <p>I never got that blazer because $88 for polyester made me scream. It never went on sale and now my size is gone.</p> <p>The shirts are the highest priority. It's getting cold fast! </p>
