Jason Wu Lace-Detail Shirt

When I saw this online, I adored it; in person, not so much. The fitted look the model portrays is nothing like the reality. The blouse is boxy and hardly figure-flattering. A good deal of tailoring might redeem it.

Here are the details from the Neiman-Marcus site:
- Black poplin with tonal sheer deconstructed lace panels and short sleeves
- Double-layer point collar; lace-taped button front
- Pintucked detail on back
- Slim fit (??? - perhaps the blouse I tried on was an anomaly?)
- cotton / polyamide / spandex made in USA


 ... does anyone else find the model a little scary?

- asymmetric neckline
- relaxed draping forms slight cocoon silhouette
- ruched half belt cinches front waist

Thought for the day

Sometimes the best way to turn the other cheek is to hit the 'unfriend' button.
