This is a perfect fall transition top. I sized up so it was a looser fit and longer for work, and I think it was the right call! It’s very flattering and I received many compliments.

Really fun and elevated but still feminine!

I felt like a French-Japanese origami doll brought to life in this piece. The delicate gingham pattern gave it a refined, paper-like quality that draped beautifully over my shoulders. Lightweight yet structured, it was easy to wear and instantly elevated my look. I layered it over a strapless dress of the same airy tone for added coverage, creating a graceful, put-together ensemble. Perfect for an elegant setting—I wore it to afternoon tea in Beverly Hills and felt timeless, feminine, and unique.

I tried the medium and felt like it was too big and then rented the small. I do have big shoulders and it is tight over there. I will just need to not "hulk"😂 love the top though and I feel like it adds some sophistication but it still casual

I tried this on right away out of the shower (not a put together look here), but I will be nonstop pairing it with all styles & shades of denim from shorts to relaxed jeans, ecru to dark navy, and everything in between. I was super surprised and elated that the XS was a perfect fit, despite the usual button-down scenarios (when ordered in my normal/suggested size) causing a no-go due to a larger bust area. There is no pulling what so over, and the fit is great with just a wee lil’ oversized puff to the sleeve, which I’m always a sucker for! Also, I was pleased by the length; it is cropped a bit, but without any midriff… it just perfectly sits untucked to show a silver or gold button or possibly a styled belt! I can’t wait to pair with darker denim, chunky clogs, and a light layer come start of fall, but in the meantime it will be styled with jean shorts or some ecru flares with sandals on any given day!

Juxtaposition of the ruffle along with the plaid mix for a very interesting. The shirt is a little boxy, but if you wear something tight on the bottom, like a pair of shorts or skirt, it doesn’t make you look boxy. It’s nicely cropped and perfect for petites.

Normally, I wear a size small, two medium with a bigger bust but this one extra small fit perfectly!

True to size. A cute top for work or a casual day. A little too ruffled for me, but was nice for virtual meetings!


I sized up to a medium thinking it would’ve been right around the hips and that was a mistake. I definitely should’ve stuck with my usual size, maybe even down. There are shoulder pads and the shoulders and sleeves are GIANT. I didn’t wear this outside the house but worked fine on a Teams call.

I am usually a medium too but this was too big in the shoulders and wasn’t complimentary to me. I wore it just once.

I sized up two sizes, since it was all that was available. I ended up wearing this a ton. I would have purchased if it was my size.
I wore this to work and to a nice dinner. I got lots of compliments and it fit great. Would recommend!
I’m obsessed. I bought it even though it was a little loose. I would size down. Not tight in the chest which is always a plus!
Will be renting again this fall for sure!! This is a great everyday top or for work. Soft material and structure in the shoulders
Received so many compliments on this top! Quality top. Extremely comfortable. Wire w white jeans and shorts. Rent!!!
I just adore this top. I like the versatility that you could wear it open with a tank underneath or wear it as a standalone top. It was perfect for a super hot day with the linen fabric and I also wore it for work. I would have kept it if the price were a bit lower
This was so cute with jeans and flats for work. Loved it!
Top is great. My only qualm is that it gapes a little bit at the top so a pin or fashion tape may be necessary for work.
Fit perfect without feeling boxy in a small. Lightweight, liked the flexibility to wear with trousers to work or jeans for a more casual look - ended up purchasing.
Wore to work on casual Friday with a pair of white sneakers! So many complaints on it!
This linen top is gorgeous - wore it with navy linen pants to work. It was great!
Sizing is true
I should have done a size M for a better fit for me
a bit boxy but still cute
Great shirt to wear to dinner, work or just everyday errands
The shoulders are odd, it’s hard to describe. The fabric doesn’t stretch so when you move your arms the shoulders don’t move well with you. Otherwise, I did really love it. It could be dressed up or down, and I got some compliments with it. It feels work appropriate but could probably be used as a cardigan too.
By the time this got to me, the fabric had lost its shape and structure so it looked more slouchy and casual than it should have. Otherwise, a nice piece in its prime.
Fit was weird, I wore it once but didn’t love it buttoned or unbuttoned
I should have sized down more. So boxy. So so boxy.
It’s literally just shaped like a square. Very weird top!
