It sounds like the Signature is the winner, in a small. That's great, since there are more color options in that style :). I'm looking for a soft, solid color: a cream, a gray, a soft green, etc.</p> <p>Una -- thanks for the pointer, you look SO. GREAT. in those shirts. I would be lying if I didn't admit that you're one of the reasons I went straight for the Equipment instead of shopping around for another brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-684585 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 00:02:57 +0000 catgirl 684585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for the size up -love it. I am wearing mine today if you want to see how it fits on me (in XS). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-684582 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 23:57:34 +0000 Angie 684582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Size up is MUCH better! Now - print or solid? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-684580 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 23:55:55 +0000 MNsara 684580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! That's it! </p> <p>Plus I think that print is adorable Are you thinking print or solid? Either way that's the right size to get the Signature look. Well, IHMO anyway. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-684351 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 18:11:49 +0000 Charmian 684351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I edited the original post to add the "Signature" style in one size up. Thanks in advance for your feedback! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-683863 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 02:06:49 +0000 Charmian 683863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awwww, you ladies are awesome! Thank you so much for the feedback, and please keep it coming! This is my first attempt at a "blousy" top (I tend towards structure and showing off my waist), so I <em>totally</em> don't have an eye for this look.</p> <p>I'll pop over to my local Nordies tomorrow morning and post some pictures of the Signature in a S to this thread.</p> <p>Seriously, thanks again -- you are all awesome &lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-683779 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 00:14:07 +0000 Jjsloane 683779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of think this blouse needs to be well.. Blousy. I like the larger size and maybe a larger size on 5-6 also (scrunch the sleeves of course). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-683770 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 00:05:19 +0000 Angie 683770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm such a spanner. </p> <p>I like #5 and #6 best by far. That said, I'd also like to see a size up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-683713 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 21:44:19 +0000 Mamavalveeta03 683713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd either go up a size in the Brett or go with the signature, as you have on. I love it on you and find it flattering on you. Honest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-683634 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 20:27:14 +0000 rae 683634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 looks best to me. I like the signature, too, but since you said one of your goals is not to draw attention to the chest, my vote is for 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-683586 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:32:26 +0000 Charmian 683586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap: I agree, the Nexx issue was your cleaner's fault, but aren't they supposed to be the professionals? I'm worried that the Nexx is made out of silk that's trickier-than-normal to launder, even for the pros. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-683575 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:13:05 +0000 Anonymous 683575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, It looks as if the Nexx withstands dry cleaning. My experience seems to be the cleaner's fault. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-683573 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:12:21 +0000 Anonymous 683573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the signature style. Is my favorite equipment blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-683572 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:12:01 +0000 catgirl 683572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with KCS. I tried the Brett too and found the cut a little too fitted for me, but I think it works well on you in 3/4. I'm an XS in the Signature style and find it just roomy enough, and size also varies in color for some reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-683571 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:08:25 +0000 K. Period. 683571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Brett in 3 / 4. The style is oversized and flowy, so 1 / 2 looks a little fitted to me. Also, since you want to de-emphasize your bust, the close fit doesn't seem in line with your style goal. The pockets on 5 / 6 sag oddly. I think that may be because the shirt is too fitted. Since it is supposed to be oversized, it clings where it shouldn't. I'd try it in a larger size and see if that takes care of the problem. If it doesn't, I'd pass on 5 / 6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-sizestyle-equipment-blouse#post-683548 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:38:25 +0000 Charmian 683548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After being unconvinced by <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anybody-washed-their-nexx-blouse-successfully">folks' success in washing the Nexx silk blouse</a>, I decided to carve a hole out of my NAS budget (farewell, burgundy blazer! Adios, gold leggings!) and try an Equipment blouse.</p> <p>As usual, goals for my tops are modern classic, mostly casual (but can be dressed up a little), and don't draw attention to my bust or shoulders. Do ANY of the following 3 blouses fit those goals? Please be honest; this will be a pretty big purchase for me! I know folks here are enamoured of the Equipment Signature -- and fellow-IT Una completely rocks hers -- but those oversized pockets make me lean a little towards the one-pocket Brett.</p> <p>Photos 1 &amp; 2 are the "Brett" style in S; photos 3 &amp; 4 are the "Brett" in M (I'd have to alter the sleeves); photos 5 &amp; 6 are the "Signature" in XS. Please ignore the colors; the racks were pretty picked over when I arrived, but the Nordies SA assures me that there are plenty of the "Nature White" and "Opal Grey" colors that I'm interested in.</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p>--</p> <p>ETA the Signature in S. Thanks for the feedback! </p>
