Gorgeous Romance, Runs Very Large
6.6.2012-
"I purchased this blouse in the sunflower colorway when it was first released. I am 5'5", measure 38-26-36 and wear a 36C bra. I am typically a M in FP tops. I did size down to a S when ordering, but somehow, by the time the backorder shipped, the size in my order history had been switched to a M. So odd...and I do have hard copy proof I ordered a S! LOL Anyway, the M was gigantic. I don't mean in an oversized flowy nice way, but in a "nothing like the photo" way. The woman who screens my orders for me is 5'5" and size 12. She put this on over her sweats to show me just how huge it was. The front was not cropped as in the pictures, but instead hit at mid hip level and the back lace was long enough to wear as a dress. Unfortunately, by this time, the top had sold out in both XS and S. I sadly returned it, but was able to pick up a size S on a department store website a few weeks later. The S was much smaller than the M. It is still oversized, but does not swallow me. Other than the sizing craziness, I adore everything about this top. The golden floral print on the chiffon material mixed with the vintage tea colored lace is a vision of romance. The cut is very charming and unique. It is obviously very sheer and must be worn with an under layer. I purchased the Scallop Edge Lace Crop as shown in the catalog because I love the way the cap sleeves look poking out at the shoulders. Definitely one of my favorite statement pieces this season!"

my perfect, unique summer top

"This blouse is so unique in design and beautiful on, I couldn't not purchase! It's light and airy and perfect for an effortlessly cute summer day! I got the golden yellow color and with advise from the salesgirl I tied the fabric under the lowest button in a little knot, so cute and fun!"

Beautiful romatic summer blouse

"I bought this in the yellow, it is very pretty. I also bought the tee underneath it.
The sizing is large. I usually wear a large in FP but
could have also worn the medium in this blouse as it is very loose and large under arms. The front of the blouse fit me the same way the model who is wearing it. I know someone said it was too short in front, maybe they needed to size up. Love it and can't wait til warm weather comes so I can wear it. I also think it is very versatile. You could wear it with jean shorts, jeans, jean skirt and maybe the right summer skirt. Get creative!"

Not too romantic for me...

"I ordered this lovely blouse in the purple/grey color. This blouse is so pretty and springy, but I really didn't like how it looked on me. I love the back and the lacey layer, but the front is too short. I would have kept this blouse if it was 2-3 inches longer in the front."

"This top is so pretty. I really love all the details, the lace panel, the delicate whispy, flowyness. It needs an underlayer as it is completely sheer. But in my opinion that is part of the charm. Very happy with this purchase."

"I LOVE IT! Gorgeous, flowing fabric, that is sure to brighten your winter..I can feel spring coming when I put this on. I bought in yellow. Great staple piece for your spring time wardrobe. Looks great under the sweater the model in the video is wearing (which I also bought).."
