Decided to show you another button-down blouse. This one is a little better but still has some issues. I like that it is slightly stretchy and has the side slits for my hips. That makes it easier for me to button the last button. The fit is fine in the sleeves and through my shoulders. However, this one has the typical big breast problem in that when I sit down, it gapes open around the third button, which is right where I need the bulk of the material. So there was some bra and skin flashing at work today. Thank goodness I sit in my little closet of a desk.
This blouse is also my attempt to buy a little more high end. I love Tibi clothing. I find the styles and patters so unique (really want the lobster pattern next). It's also the first thing that I've purchased from The Outnet. Usually I can't find a thing that isn't a size 2 from the online retailer. This blouse is a size 12. And again, other than the typical gape at the breast, I actually really like it.

Love the blouse, I have the same problem with gaping at the chest. I like the signature Equipment blouses because they usually run larger.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lissy. Been curious about Equipment blouses but read reviews that they run small so I didn't try them. Will have to make an effort to try some on.

Love the blouse and was the reason I clicked to view :-)
ReplyDeleteIf you're worried about the gap, just add a cami :-)

Thanks Monica. I might just wear it open over a tank the next time. I'm seeing a couple of possibilities. :-)

Really loving the combination of the black and white with that amazing blue. Also, liked how you worked the jacket from Target...didn't feel patriotic at all. : ]

Thanks! I think I'm gonna work that jacket with stripes next week. Today's pants are pale mint green. Hard to see that in the sun. There's a but of mint green in the shirt. :-)

Love the blouse. I use fashion tape (BB&B) or wear a minimizing bra (LOVE it with certain tops!!) when I have this issue.
ReplyDeleteMinimizing bra! Of course! That's flippin' genius. Thank you.

LOL Our little secret. Sometimes I want to wear one all the time...especially t-shirts.
