This was well-made and a wonderful pattern / color pallete
It was just a little too much for my short frame. Would be fantastic on someone taller.

beautiful butter yellow button-down - very long!
This was oversized and heavy, nice construction. It worked great for spring and given the natural fiber, it could also work for summer as a more substantial beach cover-up / shirt dress. Too long for me to wear shirt style, but styled like a "light trench-type coat over thin sleeveless sweater in matching yellow.

Wore this to a Broadway matinee, and it was perfect! Comfortable yet looked polished on a rainy day
Very ladylike vibe, liked that it hit a little longer on me but great ease of movement. the gold buttons were lovely against the blue, and the knit was super smooth and elegant.

Pretty pattern, very heavy garment
This was a little to big for me from pattern to style to fit. Would have loved it maybe a size down and if I were 5 inches taller.

I wanted to love this but my shoulders are too broad with the cut of the shoulder. Perfect for someone more average to narrow up top!

Beautiful color, so soft
This is a perfect shade of purple, so soft and warm. It is definitely oversized - I would size down at least one size as I felt like I was drowning in it.

Great pattern, incredibly soft material
Wore this with jeans all day, and changed to linen pant for casual dinner out. Light enough for last days of summer with a richer color palette that felt more "fall".

Beautiful for beach, dinners, shopping
Just the right size, stylish and end-of-summer perfect. Just watch out for tipping over - width is great for accessing but everything will fall out easily if it topples over. Luckily that happened in the car and not at the pool!

soft, stylish and perfect for dinner al fresco late summer!
The shoulders and chest were a little too large for me (that very rarely happens), but the drawstring at the neckline was perfect for cinching up for better fit. Material was super soft, and the print looked great with white pants and sandals to celebrate family birthday at outdoor cafe.

The style is cute and construction good, but I am much to short for both the pattern and the width / armholes didn't work for me. Was very comfortable and the pockets are a plus.

Comfy, interesting pattern and wonderful colorway
Wore this all day - dropping off kids to camp, getting nails done, on an afternoon video call with a light cardigan thrown over my shoulders and then out to dinner. Love it, only way it could be better is if it had pockets but that might have ruined the lovely line.

Loved the peplum
Lovely pattern, roomy fit, good with long linen shorts / skirt and loafers during the week and with more casual white denim on the weekend. The material light enough for warmer weather and side draw strings let you cinch the waist for more definition.

Interesting size / shape, material nice as the weather heats up
It was roomy with a lovely satiny lining. The drop was a little long on me but I am very short. I liked that it was black but very light and the texture worked well for the warm weather without feeling overly heavy in black.
