Z&V blouse arrived - YouLookFab Forum

I was so excited to receive this that I changed into jeans to try it on (it’s over 90 degrees here today so that’s saying something!).

I ordered it in the S and the M. I dare say that the M does seem a bit big almost all around, except for maybe on the shoulder point, which surprises me — I don’t think of my shoulders as being particularly broad. I don’t think the shoulder is bad at all, but I welcome feedback.

Pics 1-3 are the M
Pics 4-6 are the S

I really love it — the print and colors work so well for me! The neckline is low (really low in the M!), and I might stitch it up just a little bit, or wear a cami underneath since this isn’t a summer top for me.

I’m leaning towards keeping the S. What do you think?

This blouse was made for you, Janet! And yes, I’m leaning towards the small.

Oh, it is stunning on you, Janet! Such a winner! It looks to me as if the S will work, especially if it is more comfortable. Did you do the stretch arm test? The hug test?

Kathie

I prefer the more fluid shoulder fit (and perhaps the length) on the M. The color and print are so perfect for you that I think it could be worth it to have the M tailored just a bit through the body, if you want a bit less volume there.

KILLER gorgeous Janet, and also leaning towards the S if the stretch-out-arm and hug test work!

Also, jealous it is not in Canada although this is probably better for my pocket book!

Gorgeous! Small looks better to my eye
(I prefer the length, sleeve fit and a bit less volume through the torso) as long as it’s comfortable across the back of the shoulders.

Janet

Interesting! Keep the opinions coming, ladies! The arms are a bit long on the M too, which gives me pause, but I suppose I could move the buttons on the cuffs so that the cuff would rest on my wrist rather than slide down my hand (I’ve done that with other shirts, which really helps tame sleeves without expensive alteration). I actually like the length of the S better — it’s less tunic-y. Top lengths that end at the crotch point are awkward on me. It’s possible that if the M were taken in along the side seams, the length would not feel as overwhelming.

Good suggestion about the hug/reach test! I will try it on again and give it a little workout.

Ginger

This was made for you! Gorgeous and a beautiful fit! I can see very little difference between the two, so I say go with the one that feels better.

gryffin

You look so amazing in turquoise. It seriously makes you glow. Blouse fantastic. Definitely prefer you in the small. Totally divinely gorgeous!!

JAileen

Beautiful color on you!

Style Fan

Gorgeous! I prefer the small.

Irina

Beautiful! I prefer S on you if you feel comfortable in it.

Peri

Leaning slightly towards the S but in truth I don't see a big difference between the two. So I'd go with whichever one didn't feel restrictive in the arm movement.

Jaime

The print and color are amazing on you! Also would say small if it passes Angie's wise test ideas.

ChristelJ

Wowza! So great. I prefer the small size on you and it looks so good untucked as well as tucked.

Runcarla

What a stunning addition this will be for your wardrobe. I’m not going to be much help! The small fits well, but I’m with Kate in liking the shoulder line of the medium, and actually liking the longer cuff as well.

Janet, did you end up getting the Vero Moda midi skirt in black aop floral? I wanted to get the plaid but they were sold out in my size today. I opted for the black floral instead in my order. I measured in between two sizes and selected the larger. Thanks for any info you have

Nikki, I got that skirt in a M — no need to size up! It is surprisingly roomy, with elastic waist in back.

MsMaven

I vote for the S. Gorgeous on you!

Firecracker (Sharan)

It's beautiful on you, Janet. I don't have a clear preference on size.

Thanks! I’m excited to add to my skirt collection. I also ordered the Vince Camuto skirt in spruce

Kate

It's beautiful on you. I prefer the S, if it passes the hug test. I ordered it in L, since I have quite broad shoulders, but it was too big, so back it goes. The colors are really lovely, and I like the fact that is not so long.

LJP

Without reading 26 other comments ahead of mine , I prefer the shoulder and sleeve length of the M . Now off to see how I did

Ha - I didn’t realize that it was a button cuff . Hmm - hard to say now . If you can do the hug test in the S then go with that one .

Aquamarine

I think the small looks better and less voluminous but you’ll have to decide if it will work. It’s a very pretty blouse.

Staysfit

The color looks great on you! I vote you keep the small since I know exactly what you mean by the low neckline!

Bijou

Both look amazing, but I vote S. You look sensational in this, the colour and design is just gorgeous on you.

kellygirl

Wow! This was made for you. I like both sizes with a slight preference for the small. So gorgeous!
