A month or so ago I tried on all different styles at H&#38;M and Ann Taylor Loft - none of them fit right. Great to have some more ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-has-good-and-inexpensive-vests-waistcoats#post-81482 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 20:22:47 +0000 marianne 81482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to suggest H&#38;M. And Esprit - I saw a bunch in their online outlet store the other day. Although their stuff might be more casual than what you're looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-has-good-and-inexpensive-vests-waistcoats#post-81463 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 18:42:00 +0000 shiny 81463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JG, I did, and there was something ever so slightly "off" about the fit, so I passed it up too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-has-good-and-inexpensive-vests-waistcoats#post-81458 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 18:32:59 +0000 Maya 81458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got mine at H&#38;M. I think a 32 would fit you but it might be hard to find. I almost never find 32's here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-has-good-and-inexpensive-vests-waistcoats#post-81457 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 18:29:50 +0000 Kari 81457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, I got one from Old Navy 2 or 3 years ago and still wear it a lot. :)</p> <p>H&#38;M has a bunch of vests in a variety of colors, and from what I remember their vests are sized numerically (by dress size) rather than S-M-L, so you might have better luck finding one that is small enough than at F21. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-has-good-and-inexpensive-vests-waistcoats#post-81444 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 17:38:17 +0000 April 81444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for these suggestions! I am going to try both Old Navy versions because those prices cannot be beat.</p> <p>I did go back to the F21 site and saw many vests, then remembered the problem: no small sizes left in any of the ones that interest me.</p> <p>I also love the lace one from Urban Outfitters that Angie included in yesterday's blog post. Gorgeous. May have to stalk that one... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-has-good-and-inexpensive-vests-waistcoats#post-81430 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:47:21 +0000 JewelryGirl 81430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, did you try the white one's at ATL? Ours had a couple on clearance. Fit wasn't rigth for me though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-has-good-and-inexpensive-vests-waistcoats#post-81414 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:06:39 +0000 CK 81414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have both the linen-blend and the cotton twill vests from Old Navy:</p> <p><a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/search.do?searchText=vest&#038;searchDivName=Women&#038;submit.x=0&#038;submit.y=0" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....submit.y=0</a></p> <p>They're surprisingly well made. And on sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-has-good-and-inexpensive-vests-waistcoats#post-81407 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:48:03 +0000 shiny 81407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just remembered that awhile back (beginning of summer) Bebe had a lot of nice vests. I don't normally shop there, but I went in to "leave no retail stone unturned." I recall they fit me well too. So I just checked again and they have a lot of interesting options:</p> <p><a href="http://www.bebe.com/Vests-apparel-Products/b/698776011?ie=UTF8&#038;pf_rd_r=0NE66XAW159PMSY4CAEB&#038;store=core&#038;pf_rd_p=454734701&#038;ref=nav_bebe_t3_Vests&#038;pf_rd_i=15390031&#038;pf_rd_s=top-7&#038;pf_rd_m=A2FMOXN01TSNYY&#038;pf_rd_t=101" rel="nofollow">http://www.bebe.com/Vests-appa.....f_rd_t=101</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-has-good-and-inexpensive-vests-waistcoats#post-81405 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:45:19 +0000 shiny 81405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopstyle.com</a> and type in waistcoat or vest. You will bring up a lot. But I share your frustration because this is one item I really need to try on first (vests are difficult to tailor - it looks like a simple garment to sew, but it's actually quite tricky, making alterations quite tricky). I have been looking for a white summery vest, and have had little luck. And I have checked F21 twice this summer - all the vests have disappeared. </p> <p>I imagine (hope) there will be better selection in the fall? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-has-good-and-inexpensive-vests-waistcoats#post-81401 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:38:05 +0000 Laura 81401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forever 21 has a slew of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-has-good-and-inexpensive-vests-waistcoats#post-81400 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:36:09 +0000 hanna 81400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>april, are you looking for knits or wovens? color? pricepoint?</p> <p>i looked around for you and found these:</p> <p>woven - <a href="http://www.lulus.com/products/Vanderbilt+Vest+in+Black+by+Lucy+Love/11074.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lulus.com/products/.....11074.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5448&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=648709" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....pid=648709</a></p> <p><a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5448&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=661655" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....pid=661655</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&#038;itemCount=60&#038;startValue=1&#038;selectedProductColor=&#038;sortby=&#038;id=15830102&#038;parentid=W_APP_VESTS&#038;sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&#038;navCount=42&#038;navAction=poppushpush&#038;color=&#038;pushId=W_APP_VESTS&#038;popId=WOMENS_APPAREL&#038;prepushId=" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbanoutfitters.com.....prepushId=</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&#038;itemCount=60&#038;startValue=1&#038;selectedProductColor=&#038;sortby=&#038;id=16627135&#038;parentid=W_APP_VESTS&#038;sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&#038;navCount=42&#038;navAction=poppushpush&#038;color=&#038;pushId=W_APP_VESTS&#038;popId=WOMENS_APPAREL&#038;prepushId=" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbanoutfitters.com.....prepushId=</a></p> <p>knit -<br /> <a href="http://www.lulus.com/products/Mattie+Jersey+Knit+Vest+in+Grey/10068.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lulus.com/products/.....10068.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.lulus.com/products/Table+Talk+Vest+in+Charcoal/11019.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lulus.com/products/.....11019.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/who-has-good-and-inexpensive-vests-waistcoats#post-81399 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:25:31 +0000 April 81399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last spring, I bought a little waistcoat very inexpensively from Forever21.

Any ideas where to look? </p> <p>Since I see this as an accessory and probably don't plan to wear it for years and years, I am looking for something inexpensive. Thanks! </p>
