I've started to go through my spring wardrobe very carefully to get a clear sense of what I have. I would like to get some opinions from you, you, dear fabbers, on these two white shirts, especially in terms of fit. I'd like this look with nude loafers too, as shown by Emily K in her recent posting ""WIW 3/29 - for Angie"

1. Lands End basic white shirt, untucked. This brand is one of the few that fits me pretty well, in a petite size.
2. same shirt, tucked, with a black belt that's a bit thin for these belt loops, sleeves folded. I have stayed away from tucking shirts for a very long time, because I think it is not all that flattering on me. Do you agree?

3. Caslon gauzy shirt - seems a bit too big
4. same shirt with the back pulled in (I would add a long dart) and simulating adding another button to the top of the placket to pull the neckline in a little...sorry these pics do not show it all that well. . It's a bit too big overall but these alterations would make enough of a difference for me to keep wearing it, or so I'm thinking.
