The snap doesn't bother me, but if it bothers you, by all means replace it with a more hidden snap, a white snap or a stitch-- even a tiny button with a cord loop might work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-blouse-flares#post-1359198 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 23:44:13 +0000 N-Marie 1359198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen- I ordered size 4 in the H&amp;M top. I'll report back when it arrives.<br />I don't own any H&amp;M so I'm pretty uncertain about the size. &nbsp;I wear a size small petite or&nbsp;4P and sometimes a 2 in on-petite sizes&nbsp;but my understanding is that H&amp;M runs a bit small and narrow&nbsp;compared to most brands. In the pleione top, I ordered a PXS and I think the fit is correct, although the visible button suggests it may be pulling a bit at the bust. It is a short top though- needs a cami so I don't expose my stomach if I raise my arms (after 2 kids that would be inadvisable :)&nbsp;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-blouse-flares#post-1359174 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 22:58:36 +0000 Kristin SF 1359174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>N-M - what size did you order from H&amp;M? Jean from EP says H&amp;M runs on the small/narrow side....do you find that to be true? I don't have anything from them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-blouse-flares#post-1359108 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 21:05:34 +0000 N-Marie 1359108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen- funny you should post those links- those pictures on Extra Petite were the ones that pushed me to go ahead and try the pleione one and the H&amp;M version (currently en route to my house). &nbsp;It just seems like a super versatile piece- looks elegant without being too fussy and fits well on petites. &nbsp;I kind of want it in the burgundy color too from H&amp;M- that's probably my favorite color.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-blouse-flares#post-1359091 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 20:24:41 +0000 Tanya 1359091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great rendition of the formula! I hear you about the snap. I am wearing a similar outfit today with H&amp;M wrap blouse. It also has a button so I added some double sided tape to keep it hidden. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-blouse-flares#post-1359084 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 20:19:23 +0000 Jeanie 1359084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! &nbsp;Love the black and white on you and I vote to stitch it and remove the snap. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-blouse-flares#post-1359081 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 20:18:40 +0000 Kristin SF 1359081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your idea about the stitch. I might do the same, I received an Ann Taylor wrap blouse today that uses the same snap, and it's visible, so annoying.</p> <p>Did you see this brief review of the H&amp;M blouse? Sounds like you might like it better. <br /><a href="http://www.extrapetite.com/2014/09/back-to-basics.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.extrapetite.com/201.....asics.html</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-blouse-flares#post-1359079 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 20:16:10 +0000 Beth Ann 1359079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to the stitch in place of the snap!&nbsp; Good solution to an age old problem.&nbsp; This looks elegant and refined on you.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-blouse-flares#post-1359074 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 20:10:02 +0000 Angie_T 1359074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a sharp outfit.&nbsp; And I agree, those snaps on a wrap top always seem to pull or not lay flat.&nbsp; I have used&nbsp; double sided tape to make it work. But it's not a permanent solution.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-blouse-flares#post-1359070 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 20:00:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1359070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done! I like the whole outfit. I see what you mean, in the close-up, about the visible snap. That would bug me, too. I like your idea of replacing it with a stitch. It's not like you have to unsnap the blouse to get in and out of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wrap-blouse-flares#post-1359058 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 19:43:34 +0000 N-Marie 1359058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's post was a perfect nudge to try mixing some new purchases with some old favorites. Tags are off the knit moto (Halogen) but I am on the fence about the white pleione top- I'm bothered by the visible metal snap (see pic 3). I've also ordered the H&amp;M version of this top to compare. If I keep the pleione version I would probably remove the snap and put in a small stitch or button instead.</p> <p>Blouse : pleione wrap blouse</p> <p>Topper: Halogen knit moto</p> <p>Trousers: Express editor (very old but holding up like iron)</p> <p>Booties: Seychelles "crazy for you" (old)</p> <p>ETA: sorry about the weird face- squinting at my phone gives me strange expressions! Also not sure why this is marked urgent- I posted form the app on my phone because I was too lazy to transfer pics to my computer. </p>
