      This one is so pretty. I only have two issues: it runs slightly large (not as snug under the bust as I would have liked but I still kept it) and I hadn't realized that the back is longer than the front. I don't love that, but its a beautiful and comfortable piece!

        This is a really nice top, I really like the way it looks with leggings. It's comfortable and hides my tummy (I've had 2 kids in the last 2 and a alf years) I think it looks nice and flattering although my husband isn't a big fan of it. That doesn't matter so much to me because we have very different ideas of style! I decided to get the pink and grey one even though I don't usually go for pink and I really like the color choice as well. I'm 5'4 and about 148 lbs I got the size 10 and I'm going to keep it although it does fit a little looser then I'd like so I would have probably gone with the 8 if I had known.

          Not flattering for me

              Best Uses

                I am 5'1" and a size 10 and this did not work for me. The sleeves were a bit too long (more on the full-length end than 3/4) and the garment itself was quite long on me, at an awkward length between shirt and dress that made pairing with pants or leggings not quite right. But the real flaw for me is that the waistline hits below what I think of as empire. For me, it was two inches or so below my bra's underwire, creating a pouf right where a baby belly would start. On a tall person with a large chest (I am a 36B), I am sure this would be absolutely lovely, but unfortunately it did not work for me. The pattern (olive vine) is gorgeous, and it's soft and comfortable. I was so very excited about this shirt, sad to send it back :(

                  This is a very nice tunic/top. It is long enough to wear with leggings as a tunic and it will look great with skinny jeans. I'm 5'4" so if you're taller you might not want to wear it with leggings. It wears well and has a nice design. I will get a lot of use out of it!

                    I could tell from the photo that I would love this top. The empire/tunic styling covers my slight belly, and the feel of the fabric is wonderful. I got the grey with pink flowers, it is beautful and goes with all sorts of items in my closet.

                      This top is really cute and fits well. I'm planning to wear it with leggings and think it'll look great. Very comfy and very soft.

                        I got the chinchilla (grey with pink floral) color, and I love it! Totally comfortable. I would have given it 5 stars except it has a shade of the maternity top about it, given the empire styling.
