"It bothers me a bit buying something that has already been faded, or torn, but this shirt is charming! I got the blue, and the bleach gives it a much more feminine look. The details along the collar are just perfect - you can almost dress it up with hoops, flats, and jeans, or even a mini-skirt. I am a little over 5 ft, with a larger bust, and bought a zero - fits like a glove."
