Perfect to layer with jeans, and go grocery shopping. I wish I hadn't machine dried. It's now a little shorter than I like.

 
Horrible

Sizing:

Cons:
Low Quality
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Bust line was too low, waist was so high it ran across the bust instead of under and overall length was too short. On my flat chested daughter it was still really low and elastic was still too high. It is also very thin mazterial and the long sleeves were way too tight, made for little girl arms.

Even though this product has long sleeves, do not be deceived.. It is so thin and comfortable that it can be worn in summertime or paired with a top underneath for all-year-round! The only complaint I have is that it has to air-dry after washing. Too bad there weren't more patterns to choose from or I would have ordered more! Great price!

I purchased two of these tops and sent them both back. The quality is terrible. I doubt it would hold up through one washing. The size is super small. I would never recommend buying this item to anyone. This experience has discouraged me from ever buying from Chadwick's again.

The top is cute in the magazine, but the material is flimsy, definitely like sleepwear material. It is also short, so if you have any tummy issues, this is not the shirt for you (or me)!

I got the blue multi because I'm tired of everything in my closet being a solid color! But I'll be going up a size since the empire waist seems tight compared to the amount of room in the bust--but it's cute enough that I will go up a size and if necessary, take up the shoulder seams a bit. I thought it was long-sleeved but when I put it on--and I have shorter arms and legs, I'm 5'2"--the sleeves seemed like 3/4 length. Which is fine with me: since the material is lightweight, what turns out to be more like 3/4 length sleeves makes it an even better candidate for 3-season wear.

Wore with dress pants for work and jeans at night. Cut a little low so I wore a lacy tank under it. Very light weight and flowy.

This is a great top...but it's too short. I wish Chadwicks would list the length of their tops. It can be frustrating trying to 'guess' how long the item is by looking at the picture. I am only 5'4" but can't have my tops hitting at the top of my hips....they need to be a bit longer.
