This is the second top (in a different color) that I have purchased from this vendor. I downsized one size on the yellow one, as the fit is quite generous. They both wash well, didn't shrink very much at all, and only need a quick iron on the cotton setting to look really nice. The first top has been in my wardrobe for nearly a year and has held up well. The embroidery is nice and I find the tops to be good for all seasons here in the southern USA. In summer, worn alone it's cool, and it's roomy enough to add a layer in winter. Obviously, I would buy another for a gift if the occasion were arise.The material seems more like sheeting than gauze, feels thin and kind of stiff right out of the box. The sleeves are not full length, more like 3/4, but I tend to push sleeves up anyway, so not really an issue. It doesn't have any give and the fit it snug until it's actually on, then it just seems to fall right. The colors of the shirt and the embroidery are wonderful, hopefully they'll stay that way in the wash.I like the top color and embroidery work. It is NOT true to size.Very comfortable. Too bad they sold out, or I'd order more.Picture shows blue blouse but I missed the description that says white. Wanted light blue.This is an absolutely beautiful tunic. It would cost at least twice as much at a retail store. I’m very impressed with the quality and love the style. Normally I wear a size XS, but the size small fits me perfectly. Highly recommend!I have to say in all honesty I LOVE this tunic/top.Ordered Wednesday, received late evening Saturday (3days!)It's a thin material that either will be breezy during the summer, or insulate body heat enough to wear on a cooler day with leggings.My dimensions are:5`6.5120Lbs, willowy figurebust 34Awaist 25"pants size 2/3Ordered the size 8Fit perfectly! I have to say that it's a tiny tinnnnny bit "boxy" due to me being on the thin side, but it looks well enough to be worn with short leggings and sandals or thicker leggings with boots (tried both looks). VERSATILE and modest in a nice way tooI have a long torso and arms, and the sleeves passed the "stretch/raised arms" test in neither being too short or too tight against my body. They will either reach your wrists or you can easily fold the sleeves up to your elbows and it still transitions well.The embroidering is so stinkin' pretty and doesn't overwhelm the outfit or get lost in the fabric.I am so impressed with this I will be searching for more of their productsI would say this would look cute on straight or fuller figures in the way it's so well made and sits in a decent fashion that shows your figure in a modest, but pretty wayI own many of these tunics in several colors and a couple of sizes. I wash (in machine) these, turned inside out, and hang to dry. I also iron them before wearing them. These tunics are cool (I live in a hot humid climate) and the fabric is thick enough that you do not have to wear a camisole underneath. I noticed that the embroidery is NOT cotton. If you use a hot/medium hot iron, it will "grab" the embroidery (shortening it's life)...just FYI. Other than that, I enjoy these tunics very much and am always looking for a new color to be offered.Took a chance and ordered a size up but it fits like a maternity top. Bit pricey for what it is. Nothing especially good about this top but not terrible either. Just beware about the sizing and remember it will fit best if you are pear-shaped.
