Love the color (green) - fabric is so soft! Haven't washed but ironed well. Only problem is that my arms are heavy - and the button at the sleeve is tight. But I still love it!

This shirt is not sized appropriately. The shirt is too tight, and the sleeves cut off the circulation in my arms. Would not have bought this if I had known.

I have learned to order a size up in shirts like this to accomodate my chest and shoulder width, however in this case the shirt was still to small in the chest and shoulder width.

The previous reviews were accurate. Buyer Beware!! The sleeves were too small and it was too snug in the chest for the size that I chose. A larger size would not have helped either. I wished the sizing was accurate b/c I know the style is one that I can wear since I have similar blouses in my wardrobe.

This top is really, really cute. I like the ruffled collar, and the fit is really nice. The only problem is the sleeves are a little tight where they button on the cuff, and they don't look good unbuttoned. It is not so bad that I can't wear the shirt, just a little annoying when driving and such. The green color is exactly like in the picture, and it is beautiful.

This top is great with a pair of slacks for work, or paired with jeans for dressy casual look. I got the green, and it is gorgeous! It is definitely a classy top, and you can't beat the price.

This blouse is lovely and is a great deal for the price. I ordered it in two colors. The only problem is that it is WAY smaller than a usual size would be. Order two sizes up from your regular, otherwise it "gaps" at the chest and when you sit down. I will definitely wear this when I'm on travel for my job.

Good looking blouse. Will be worn with or without a jacket. With skirts or pants. I was very pleased with the construction. All seams are over casted on the inside. As a seamstress, I always look at inside of a garment. Haven't washed it yet, but will do it in a delicate cycle as with any garment I want to last and look good over time. Fit is good. If in doubt, recommending going up one size.

Haven't worn it yet, nor washed it--but I do love the style, the feel, and the seeming versatility. I plan to hand wash as it seems delicate. And hang to dry. Even if the label says machine wash I won't do that.

I wear this blouse ALL of the time. I wish that it washed better, I am constantly cutting little strings off etc. And I did have to send it back and get two sizes bigger when I bought it. But I do love to wear it. It makes me feel pretty and slim. I won't be buying another one simply because of the poor quality, it won't last much longer, but I LOVE wearing it and will until it dies.

This item is best worn if you get it at least 2 sizes big. This shirt runs small. So if you're a 14 then get a 18.

My husband bought this for me and at first I was really skeptical. I thought it would be too tight around my arms and I was unsure about the Mandarin collar. Both of my concerns were erased when I put it on! It's so beautiful and stylish! (Love the ruching!) I've worn it twice and have gotten lots of compliments.

I bought the graphite ruffled charmeuse blouse. I can wear it with black, gray, or navy suits, so it's very versatile. The only thing I don't like too much (I'm small on top) is that the first button doesn't appear until way down the neckline. Other than that, it's very pretty and looks great under suits.

These blouses are lovely. Excellent, flattering lines, a beautiful shine, and a comfortable fit; they look glamorous while feeling 'ignorable' -- you don't have to notice that you're wearing something fancy. I bought two, and was so pleased with them that I've ordered more in several colors.
