Cool, quirky, and small
Love the breezy, blue-and-white Nantucket vibes! Unfortunately, as other reviewers have mentioned, this piece runs small. I'm typically an 8/10 in tops, and the 12 just barely passed muster for fit. Arm holes were tight to the point of discomfort by the end of the day. I have what I'd call an athletic hourglass shape, and this blouse was not designed to fit broad shoulders. It also wrinkled soon after putting it on, which isn't the best when you're trying to maintain a professional appearance.

Silky, comfy, classy!
Awesome piece! I wore on several occasions and got compliments each time. This runs slightly large, I could've gotten away with the 8 instead as it was big through the bust and waist. The tie helps to define though, so it's not like you're wearing a potato sack. Wonderful for work, dinner and drinks, and even the photo shoot we did for my website! Will definitely rent this again.

Beautiful color way, weird fit, wrinkles easily
This would be completely perfect as a beach coverup, as it fits loosely and is nice and light. However, it was too large through the bust and kept gapping on me all day. Also, I'm a concierge medicine provider and drive to my patients throughout the day. It's important to me to appear polished and professional, and this shirt wrinkled **really** easily, even after I steamed it the morning before wear. Disappointing.

Fun detailing on an otherwise classic pant
Definitely a little snug through my athletic thighs and bum and a little looser than I'd like at the waist, but with a blouse tucked in, it worked! May be keeping these for a cycle while I decide if I want to purchase.

Odd fit
I typically love Ted Baker -- but this one is a bit of a miss. There is an overlapping piece of fabric that I believe is there for modesty purposes, but which kept folding over uncomfortably during my work day.

Runs *small* - size up!
Ordered this piece as my backup style for a charity gala and could barely get my legs into it - I would've been hobbling around all night if I could've even gotten the zipper closed! I'm a weightlifter with a well-muscled back and legs, and I tend to think that "athletic" in RTR parlance trends towards ladies with definition but narrower frames, which may be why this dress is recommended for the athletic body type. If you're carrying lots of muscle, size up! Otherwise, the material and color were very lovely.
