Very stunning on you. #1 is also fab. No camisole.</p> <p>(I LOVE that shirt and wear it often, so I'm waving at my twin). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-funktional-blouses-are-tricky#post-1004117 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:19:29 +0000 Parsley 1004117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the first one, and don't see any problems. I think it&nbsp;looks better without the camisole. I'm not as crazy about the pattern of the second one.<br />The graphic check of the first one looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-funktional-blouses-are-tricky#post-1004110 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:12:12 +0000 modgrl 1004110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like how you have it styled in #1. It is a new shape for you. You look great in it. Forget the camisole.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-funktional-blouses-are-tricky#post-1004105 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:06:17 +0000 amiable 1004105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, these do look terrific on you - but you highlight a problem that I'd have with them - you want more coverage. &nbsp;I would too. &nbsp;All the more reason I really should be tackling making my own. &nbsp;Now to find the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-funktional-blouses-are-tricky#post-1004103 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:02:48 +0000 Makrame 1004103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Manidipa, Eliza, and Suz!</p> <p>Just to clarify, my issue is that I am usually looking for tops that hide problem bits (such as a bit a pooch that can be seen with the cobalt skirt or the creases on jeans). &nbsp;With the shorter top, they are visible, and I am not sure if this makes this shape a no-go in terms of figure flattery.</p> <p>I was also wondering whether the big bold check is too much of a pattern for me but it looks like it works pretty well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-funktional-blouses-are-tricky#post-1004087 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:36:57 +0000 Suz 1004087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look wonderful on you. I see absolutely no problems whatever. It's just a silhouette you're not used to.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-funktional-blouses-are-tricky#post-1003973 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 04:11:04 +0000 Eliza 1003973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the plaid, especially with the cobalt skirt. These can be tricky, but you make it look easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-funktional-blouses-are-tricky#post-1003968 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 03:35:28 +0000 ManidipaM 1003968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't have known from the photos that you were having trouble. You look great! These look fantastic---I too prefer the plaid to the print, both with skirt and pants. I suspect it's just a matter of letting the eye adjust...but perhaps to ease the transition you can start with the tails tucked in? But I agree that a band at the bottom is distracting and upsetting proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-funktional-blouses-are-tricky#post-1003958 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 03:20:46 +0000 Makrame 1003958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Joy and Deborah! &nbsp;The black band is a cami - I was trying to see if I can get more coverage but I don't think it works, at least not with black (maybe a camisole the same color as jeans would be better). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-funktional-blouses-are-tricky#post-1003956 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 03:16:53 +0000 Deborah 1003956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this type of blouse:)&nbsp; I prefer #1 on you.&nbsp; I think the black band is meant to be hidden?&nbsp; I particularly ike the cross over in #1 worn with the cobalt skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-funktional-blouses-are-tricky#post-1003951 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 03:08:01 +0000 Anonymous 1003951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them. For the first time, I want a crossover blouse </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-funktional-blouses-are-tricky#post-1003949 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 02:59:50 +0000 Makrame 1003949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am trying out the crossover Funktional blouses (on sale at Amazon, BTW). &nbsp;I like the voluminous shape but find it very tricky to deal with the shorter length in front - I am so used to wearing longer untucked tops, and now all the problem spots are exposed. &nbsp;Plus, the longer length in the back is throwing me off.&nbsp; What do you think? &nbsp; </p> <p>ETA - the black in 2 and 3 is me trying it over a camisole. &nbsp;I don't think this version works, although I should also try a white camisole.</p>
