But oh my goodness! You have a beautiful back and shoulders!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637847 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:42:45 +0000 Vildy 637847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It puts me in mind for a new blog along the lines of Regretsy or You Knit What!?, maybe called Not As Pictured, about the quirks of online shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637740 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 22:20:28 +0000 RoseandJoan 637740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you question the final sale on the basis of the product not being as described? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637688 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:54:25 +0000 ironkurtin 637688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap - yeah, I'm looking at that too, but then you still see the side thickness from the underlayer and the ties.</p> <p>And for the record, I am not amply endowed, I can only imagine this on a busty babe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637671 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:35:15 +0000 Anonymous 637671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would stitch the middle panel to the top layer's side seam ( I guess that would be just running the current stitching that's holding the middle panel to the sides of the blouse, down the entire side of the blouse). I hope that makes sense. I happen to like the top, it is salvageable. </p> <p>I love the bracelets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637601 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 19:30:41 +0000 ironkurtin 637601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm ready to take this off and burn it, and if my underpinnings weren't pretty sheer, I would. ARRGH, THEYSKENS! I CURSE YOUR LINEN TOP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637591 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 19:25:47 +0000 Meredith1953 637591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep.....The bracelets are cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637582 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 19:07:33 +0000 christieanne 637582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I do like the bracelets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637442 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 17:19:52 +0000 catgirl 637442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That would drive me crazy. I'd stitch or stick it down, or more likely, orphan it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637439 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 17:17:21 +0000 ironkurtin 637439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cocolion - no, this is the first time I've worn this so I haven't played with it. Why? I doubt that will resolve the flappy issue.</p> <p>I'm going to try to tack it down, probably from below so the top drapes... we'll see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637421 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:56:37 +0000 ManidipaM 637421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cute coloured bracelets with a white top! So nice to be able to sink into a quiet sentimental moment during one of those neverending drills too...</p> <p>Cannot understand the top! Did they send the right product size, for sure? Seems to me the bib is less problematic than the sides, which have more material than on the model and are not lying straight on you. Sewing down does seem best, even if it interferes with the fun construction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637416 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:52:58 +0000 CocoLion 637416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried a longer tank underneath, or a different color? Also, have you tried a tank that has wider straps/is not spaghetti strapped. My other idea: try a white short-sleeved or long-sleeved tee underneath. The layering potential is huge with this, as long as the neckline doesn't compete. Or, as you say, tack it down so it lies the way you want it to. I think the top is really interesting, although it looks completely different from the picture! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637399 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:37:09 +0000 bj1111 637399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's flapping because you have boobs and the model is prepubescent.</p> <p>i'm torn, i like the flapping...very dynamic, but i agree that a streamlined effect is probably what you were after. so tack them down...consider fashion tape if you might ever want the flappiness? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637392 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:28:48 +0000 mrseccentric 637392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gggrrrrrrrrrr..........honestly, did they say they were selling a top or a kit? It's like those pizzas you buy raw so you can bake them at home! Perfectly fine if you know that's what you are getting, not so much if you thought you were buying take-out.</p> <p>It is a nice top and looks great on you. It'll look even better once it's actually finished steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637386 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:07:24 +0000 rae 637386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, it really looks nothing like the photo, does it? Stitch those flaps down, lady! If you ebay it, the buyer might come after you for an inaccurate description... o_0</p> <p>Top aside, the white with the cute colored bracelets is really summery and fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637370 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 15:43:30 +0000 harmonica 637370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the top, but how strange that it is soo different in RL. I'd vote stitch it down or use fashion tape before letting it go. if that works it would be a fab and versatile top!</p> <p>love the bracelets and the memories sticking to them too. happy items, happy wear </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637354 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 15:21:47 +0000 Diana 637354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting top. Reminds me of my (still unworn) Allsaints lace LBD which is a wrap style with all these weird drapey bits that I have no idea what to do with. I vote stitch them all down. Or maybe stick them down with some fashion tape? That way you could take it out if you don't like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637343 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 15:14:31 +0000 Angie 637343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This would drive me to drink :(. (I LOVE Theory and Theory Theyskens, btw. One of my faves).</p> <p>You look so sweet, Dana! I vote stitch those naughty flaps down. Don't let them boss you around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637337 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 15:09:32 +0000 Suz 637337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh. That IS unusual. Looks nothing like the pic! For me the fuss factor would be too high. </p> <p>Cute bracelets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637332 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:57:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 637332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the bracelets! So sweet.<br /> That top looks nothing like the picture of it - I have no advice on how to get it to lay flat though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637328 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:48:46 +0000 Anonymous 637328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your top in theory, but it would drive me crazy! It looks so different than it was pictured. Love the bracelets and what they represent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-6-4---theyskens-torture#post-637322 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:39:54 +0000 ironkurtin 637322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>- Theyskens linen top<br /> - ParkVogel tank top (underneath)<br /> - Mother jeans<br /> - Coclico boots<br /> - assortment of kiddo bracelets</p> <p>So I bought this top (final sale) off Yoox, because it's white, linen, and looked interesting (first pic is from Yoox). Theyskens often does some cool stuff, right? So I get it, try it on, and it is just weird. (pics 2, 3, 4...) I can't figure out how to get it to lie flat, as in the Yoox pic, without stitching it - even when I'm *not* lifting my hands up. It has a sort of bib underlayer that attaches top and bottom, and then ties across the bosom. The problem is that the bottom doesn't attach enough on top or bottom to keep it in place without blousing out. If I can't tack it, I may ebay it... life is too short to keep twitching my top into place!</p> <p>I recently rediscovered these cute wooden bracelets that I bought for my daughter ages ago! I have endless meetings today and I can play with them discreetly. And the green bracelet I bought 8 years ago after I had my first ultrasound and saw my healthy baby. Just looking at it reminds me of how happy I was. So, top aside, all is well. </p>
