"I bought this shirt in the grape color. it is so versatile and you can wear it so many different ways. I would recommend to size up though. i normally wear size small, but i went along with all the other reviewers and sized up and im happy i did. it's not my most favorite top ive bought from free people, but for the price and the versatility of the top, i would say it's worth the price."

"such a versatile top (and I even think I'll wear it during the winter over a long-sleeved t-shirt. the bottom band that goes around the waist/hips does fit a little snug - I ordered the M/L and I'm 5'6", 120 lbs. but overall, I love this thing!"

"I'm 5'3", 115 lbs, but I have a short torso so as much as I adore this top it is a little funky looking on me. I didn't have any problems with the bottom being too small, I got a size Small and it was fine. I love how versatile it is, and I was really excited to wear it ASAP but after a few failed attempts at layering, I'm saving it for the summer. Someone had mentioned that the cape look is a little restricting, and I agree, it was hard to drive when I had the top on in this way."

"I agree with the other reviewers in that is is best to size up. I am 5'5, 130 lbs. and usually wear a small, but I ordered a medium so that the bottom stretchy part would fit around my hips. The fabric drapes wonderfully, and the pink color is brilliant, but a bit bluer than the pictures. Since it's like five shirts in one, I don't feel bad about buying this while it's not on sale. Enjoy!"

"Yup, definitely runs veeeeery small. Its a great concept, but if you're short like me (5'2"), it feels as though you are swallowed in a sea of fabric. Probably better on someone who is much taller. I will be returning mine."

"Really cute & and kinda edg'y, you can wear this top so many different ways, you can layer it with a tank, tee, or bandu. Great as a beach cover-up or w/a cute pair of jeans. Several tops in one. Ordered it to wear to the beach but it arrived too late:("

"This top is great - I've worn it with just a bathing suit or with leggings and a tube top. While wearing like the cape is a little restricting on your arm movement, its definitely eye-catching. Very true about sizing up, I'm normally an XS so I went with a S and while the band is still tight it fit fine!"

"It's true. This top runs SMALL! I originally ordered it in a small and had to exchange it for a medium cause I couldn't even shimmy it over my head. After getting the medium I couldn't help feeling like I was wearing a big sheet every time I tried it on in each way. I'm thinking of returning it. Shame cause I love the concept!"

"I really do like this shirt, but like everyone else has said, it runs small. I naturally ordered a small, and it just barely fits enough not to return it for a larger size, but still. Anyways, I chose the yellow and it is sooo pretty!"

"I love this! So many different ways to wear, so it makes it a great buy for the price. I went with previous reviewers advice and sized up, and I'm sooo glad I did! I am typically an xs/s, 0-2 in Free people and most other brands, but the bottom part is sooo tiny. I'm 5'5'' and 115 lbs (more pear shaped). The bottom is stretchy, but don't give into your ego, just size up. You will love this if you do. :D"

"I adore this piece of clothing. There are numerous fun and interesting ways to wear it. The only flaw however is the bottom band is quite tight, a little if it sits at your hips but if you wish to pull it down farther, as in making it a little "dress" its very tight.
Otherwise fabulous and very high quality!"

"The Cape was great! It came just as advertised and was extremely comfy and versitile. You may want to bring a tank to go under it when your switching looks on the go, but otherwise its wonderful :]"

"The cape was so cute but you have to be super skinny to wear it. I'm very petite 4'11'' 105 lbs and it did not look good. Definitely better for someone who is taller. I bought the XS,it barely fit and had to return it."

"I tried this top on in a Free People boutique and had to size up. The cape portion of the top is true to size, but the bottom banded hem is snug and the seam at the top of it has very little give. I am petite and slender, but curvy."
