Can’t do it

Jayhawk Girl — Sun, 29 Apr 2018 16:34:31 GMT

I must be in the minority because I just can’t take the cold shoulder style or rayon/span items. I ordered Clinton Kelly’s new cold shoulder dresses in black and navy and love the fit, so I will have a seamstress pull up those sleeves and make them short sleeve dresses. I’ve tried Logo stuff and just don’t like that rayon clingy fabric.

I’m sure I am the oddball so for those of you who like this, cheers to you! You have lots to choose from.

I am with you, don't own a cold shoulder shirt. I am on the thin side and my shoulders are just too thin and boney. Would not look good on me. Some look so pretty on other woman.

I don't like showing my shoulders, so I skip the open shoulder pieces. Plus if I can't wear it to work, I also pass. Have too many non work tops.

Not a cold shoulder fan either. If it's just a slit in the seam, that's ok, but the actual cut outs at the shoulder, no. Don't care for most of the fabrics sold on QVC either.

Don't like the cold shoulder. I agree, many look "droopy". I can't stand the feeling of having to pull something up. Bad enough, having to wear a bra!

I don't like clingy clothes, either.

I think in many cases the droopy look isn't necessarily the garment, but the sloping shoulders of the wearer.

Next time on QVC .. look at the models. If their upper arms are wider than their shoulders, the cold shoulder top looks droopy.

I've been trying to remember your nick, because while I'm watching 'Cash Cab', the question a few minutes ago was, what team's fans are know by 'RockChalkJayhawk'?

I immediately thought of you, LOL!

I don’t care for cold shoulder, so that’s a no for me.

But....I wear rayon/spandex 3/4 sleeve tops from J Jill’s Wearever line and they don’t cling at all. I probably have 10 of them. Love them.

I guess it’s a good thing there are lots of things without cold shoulders and not done in that fabric for you to choose from.

Nothing left to see here.

Re: Can’t do it

SeaMaiden — Sun, 29 Apr 2018 18:52:04 GMT

@Jayhawk Girl I total agree. I do not like the cold shoulder thing....it looks cheap and like you want attention. I am 62.... I do not want to look Sexy or try to get attention. I do not want cut outs on the shoulders, or on the chest like a peekaboo opening....JUST TACKY!

I also do not want holes/ rips in my pants! Ok for a a teen or 20 year old.... not me.

@Jayhawk Girl Logo has many nice fabrics, not just rayon.

@Jayhawk Girl Add Modal to your list. It's horrible when a top is say 95% and 5% spandex. I hate clingy fabrics too. I would think some of the tops get runs because of the type of fabric.

I don't mind rayon spandex, but I have very little of it. I do not care for the cold shoulder look at all, think it looks cheap. I compare the cold shoulder look to tattoos, either you love it and want it or you would never.

Personally, I think the cold shoulder style have to fit you perfectly, to look right. Otherwise, it's a sloppy look. Since it is not a look I like, I'm not about to pay a tailor extra to make it fit perfectly. It's another, to each their own, item.
