I have a few pairs from previous years, and they are thinner than the retail version. I can see why someone would say the white color is see-thru. They also seem to run just a little smaller- maybe not enough to justify sizing up, but they fit tighter in the waist to me than their retail counterpart.

Does anyone know the quality of these? I have heard the white in the Factory version are quite see-thru. Was thinking of getting the regular khaki and bright dahlia. Thanks in advance!

Good luck! I like the top and am glad that they reincarnated it for Factory - the retail version was too high-maintenance with the fabric, care instructions and the fit issues. silver_lininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145331294538875917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-76144812435417255542013-02-14T05:35:10.516-05:002013-02-14T05:35:10.516-05:00Thanks silver lining.

One last question: Would you say the blouse is cut more straight, more tapered or more loose? I am hippy(the pear shaped kind, not the "cool" kind), and I'm trying to accommodate for that.savvy shopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464558550244138000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-88243555586173899262013-02-13T21:46:20.494-05:002013-02-13T21:46:20.494-05:00I found the factory chambray boatneck to run TTS, ...I found the factory chambray boatneck to run TTS, as opposed to last year's retail version.

You can do that via the chat reps. Last year's retail version ran EXTREMELY small... I ended up with a 10, when I take a 6 in J.Crew blouses normally. I could not even get the 6 on.<br /><br />I am hopeful that the factory version does not have the same sizing issue, but you never know. <br /><br />In the essential button down, I would advise getting a small. I am a 6 in most tops, 8 in perfect shirts, and I need a medium in this.

For me this shirt feels akin to a Blythe, which always strikes me as thin. I happen to love this shirt and will be wearing it a lot this week.<br /><br />As for sizing, I bought an extra small. I take a 2 in Perfect shirts and a 0 in Boy/Blythes. I hope that's helpful!<br /><br />It went on promo earlier this year at $78. I thought it would have sold out by now, but I guess it didn't.<br /><br />This morning I used my rewards card to get the matching skirt (which is not silk), the army jacket, and a white button up shirt. I don't own a single white button up (er, button down) shirt.

Got the shift dress that is the knockoff of last year's basketweave shift in the coral color, a spearmint charley sweater, and the anchor print umbrella! Was also pumped that with the promo, my cart came down to $103.50 so I could still get free shipping without frantically searching for a pair of socks or whatever. <br /><br />It is annoying that the base prices go up, or that the "promo" prices morph from day to day, but yesterday the dress I bought was on "promo" for $84.50, today it was $89.50, but I got it for around $64.00, and the Charley sweater went down to around $28.00. So still a pretty significant savings.

I had my eye on a few new arrivals at the Factory, so I'm delighted with this promotion!<br />I placed a big order: navy professor blazer, byzantine blue herringbone blazer, polka dot naomi top, tassel keychain, crewneck shell tops in black and navy, jackie cardigan in stripe. I am thrilled I got the items I had my eye on!<br />Even though somes prices did go up, the total price of my cart is way cheaper today with the 30% off than it was yesterday, with the same items and no promotion.marypoppshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571211140617853486noreply@blogger.com
