PLUS SICE REVIEW - MUST RENT

Wow! I love this item. Rented for my trip to Sedona and wore it so many times after. More than 5! You can dress up or dress down this item. Perfect for the fall. Not hot at all, as you could imagine it was warm in Arizona. Was breezy enough to keep me comfortable in the sun. I would totally rent again and may even purchase. I was going for a baggie hippie look, and got my size. If you're looking for this item to fit I would suggest sizing down. Boobie and hip friendly.

Comfortable !

I love the embroidery sleeves on this shirt. It seems to run big. I rarely can wear a medium but I think I could have in this particular shirt. It was very comfortable.

Perfect For A School Day - Does Run Big

I listened to other reviewers. I sized down to a M. When I initially put the blouse on it was a smidge tight across the chest, but seemed to loosen up slightly and then the fit was great for me. I have a large bust so I am sometimes hesitant to wear these kinds of shirts because if not cut right then the bottom part of the shirt sticks way out. Not the case here. I also liked that the back was a little longer. I got a lot of compliments. It was loose and airy. For me a great back to school blouse.

Throw on and go!

I usually run between a medium and a large depending on the cut for Madewell (34DDD, 29-30 jean, 5'11") and went with the medium based on reviews. Ideally it would be a smidge longer but I love how easy it is to throw on with jeans or shorts, fall/spring depending on how you style it. I'm buying it because my husband said he loves it on me. So I have to, right??

Runs WAY large, but great shirt

I'm currently a true medium, but sized down for the reviews. I feel like I could have worn an XS. This is a great, quality material. I wouldn't wear it in summer as it's a heavy material that doesn't breath too well. Great fall/spring shirt!

Heavier weight like other reviewers said. Nice little stitching details on sleeves, really cute fall colors. Definitely runs on the larger side, but I liked it.

Great fall top, runs big

Loved this top so much that I'm hanging on to it for another round! It does run bigger than expected, I could've likely sized down to a Small (which I almost never can) but was worried the bust area would be tight if I did. Sleeves have beautiful leaf embroidery detailing that is perfect for fall. Thicker fabric than expected also meant it kept me warm-ish in fall weather. I balanced the looser/bigger look up top with slim bottoms and loved the overall look. Felt confident and cute. May wind up buying this one!

Huge and not a summer weight top

This fabric is much heavier than expected. I'll rent it in the fall to wear with jeans. I typically wear a large, this is a medium, and I'll rent a small next time.

This is a comfortable top with beautiful stitching.

Regretfully, I returned it back because at 5'2", my frame looks overwhelmed by the exaggerated poof sleeve in the L size. It is too long for my arm length. 38" chest is comfortable in this size. I loved it, but it just wasn't for me.

Nice for warmer fall temps.

I wasn't in love with it, but I liked the leaf patterns on the sleeve that made it look fall-ish. The material is thick so it lays nice but isn't too warm. Perfect for those who have warm climates but want to dress for fall.

I got so many compliments on this blouse. The sleeves as gorgeous in person, albeit a bit itchy. If you can handle a little itch, it’s a great transitional piece for fall!

Great peasant top for FALL.

From the model, I thought this was a spring/summer top, but when I received it I noticed the autumn leaves on the sleeves. Definitely a fall top! Cute blouse that I'll rent again in the fall.

Big in the wrong places.

Cute concept. I have a long torso and am curvy. But could have had a more fitted look under the chest. Didn’t get any compliments on this / isn’t something I would buy even though it fit and technically the arm detailing was cute.
