Crew shirt is a design I've seen a million times over. So I think I'll get that one...now I need to bump my order up to $200. Any suggestions? (I'm also getting the Daniel Rainn 'Darcy' top). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-of-these-would-you-pick#post-337405 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 19:30:48 +0000 catgirl 337405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the neckline of the Bellatrix better; it looks more deliberately open than the other one. Yes, I'm weird. But both are very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-of-these-would-you-pick#post-337348 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 18:29:27 +0000 Mo 337348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd choose the second based on looks alone. When it comes to fabrications, I haven't dry cleaned in several years so I understand the draw of cotton. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-of-these-would-you-pick#post-337319 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 18:11:55 +0000 Jonesy 337319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's tricky: which color are you drawn to more? One is more subdued/neutral, the other punchier. Do you have a preference for long sleeves vs. shorter ones? The Bellatrix shirt seems much dressier to me; I like the style of both. I have that J. Crew shirt in a golden olive silk--the fit is nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-of-these-would-you-pick#post-337315 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 18:08:19 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 337315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the bellatrix because it has cleaner lines and I think would be easier to dress up or down. The JC looks a bit more casual to me. I try to avoid shirts with pockets on the chest and contrast buttons. If you are smaller chested though, it could work to your advantage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-of-these-would-you-pick#post-337301 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 17:50:17 +0000 Scarlet 337301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bellatrix shirt just seems so much more special to me. You should be able to wash it on the delicate cycle. I almost never dry clean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-of-these-would-you-pick#post-337300 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 17:49:51 +0000 alex 337300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the one from Nordstrom because it seems fresher and more original. The J.Crew one is nice too, I just feel like i've seen that same shirt a lot. But....I sympathize with you on the machine washable part. So if you know that having silk may deter you from wearing it, the cotton one would actually be a better choice since you would get more use out of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-of-these-would-you-pick#post-337299 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 17:48:41 +0000 Inge 337299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm biased because I just bought the Bellatrix shirt in silver;-) But the J. Crew one is lovely too.<br /> The J. Crew one is also a bit more casual, so if you're after a shirt you could both dress up and down, I'd go with the Bellatrix one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-of-these-would-you-pick#post-337295 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 17:45:52 +0000 lyn* 337295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it feasible to try them both on? </p> <p>For myself; I would pick the JCrew shirt because me + silk = disaster! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-one-of-these-would-you-pick#post-337294 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 17:40:00 +0000 crazyone 337294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to decide between this shirt: <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_factory_category/allnew/PRDOVR~43293/99102347227/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~205+17+4294966720~15~~~~~~~/43293.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_fa...../43293.jsp</a></p> <p>and the Bellatrix silk shirt that Angie recommended and Debbie has: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bellatrix-silk-shirt/3159759?origin=category&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/be.....sultback=0</a></p> <p>Pros for the J.Crew: cotton/silk, so machine washable and cooler in the summer. Slightly cheaper, too.</p> <p>Pros for the Nordstrom: Seems more stylish design-wise. </p>
