Does anybody know/have this Nexx silk contrast trim blouse? Wondering about the sizing, fit, quality and anything else you have to offer. Thanks!

I have seen this on the forum a few times. Runs TTS if you like boxy - must do petite, Shannon, if you order.

I advised my clients against the blouse because I didn't fancy the sueded silk. Just not fluid and refined enough for the looks we were going for. That's why it's not on my lists.

That said, it really looked good on forum member Beth! Beth likes the fabric and you might too

"Sueded" silk - that would be quite similar then to the J Jill silk blouses that I have. They are a heavier sueded silk. Gotta go find Beth's post...thanks again Angie!

I don't know. After hearing everyone's woes with the laundry and even dry cleaning. I'd be very wary.

Don't buy it, as sad as it makes me say it. I am replacing mine with the Equipment ones, one at the time.

I posted about it here: http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-very-long

The blouse is too big on me (I bought the regular S). I have the Petite P on order, because the Petite S is not available online. If the petite size fits, I plan to keep it. I quite like the look and the fabric.

I am worried about Zap's drycleaning experice with Nexx blouses, though...

I had planned on ordering it but decided not to after reading about the problems with drycleaning and washing.

Shannon, here's my post:

I really do love the look of it, but there are two things causing me to consider returning it. First, the issues other posters have had with cleaning Nexx blouses.

And second, while the shirt is silk, the black trim is 97% cotton/3% spandex. Can't help but worry that the trim will fade quickly after a few washings/drycleanings.

I purchased this blouse as well and feel sad that it seems like a looser. I don't want washing/dry cleaning issues so I will probably return, boo!

Have you seen the very similar Vince Camuto blouse in machine washable polyester? That's the one I picked up, because me + white blouse = better be machine washable!

I also know why I've been confused in posts about blouses: there are two different ones with this look! It looks like the VC one also comes in petite.
