Rickrack Trim Popover Top

Similar to other reviews, I found this top to be a very odd fit. I have a short torso and found this top to run short and it both looks billowy and feels too tight at the same time. I attribute this to the lining underneath as well as the elasticized arms having much too tight of a fit. I am usually S (sometimes XS depending on the brand) and bought both sizes just in case. Neither were a good fit and looked nothing like the photos of the model. Sadly, both are going back.

This is a cute summer top that flows nicely and not constricting anywhere. Some reviews said it fit small, so I ordered a M and L. Large was way too big overall. The medium fit perfect. The lining is below the breast and in my opinion, wearing a camisole defeats the purpose. Luckily for me, when I wore it, you can see some skin above then chest but no cleavage. May not be the case for others. I received many compliments.

This is cute in theory. But, there were several spots where the rickrack trim was not actually sewn onto the fabric, there were gaps in the stitching. And it was super boxy and wide from the bust down but the shoulder to shoulder width was very narrow. I could barely get this over my shoulders despite the rest of the blouse being really huge on me. I think part of the problem was the lining, which seemed much smaller than the actual garment. Maybe two sizes smaller. Maybe I got a dud, but I would not recommend it based on the top I received.

This white top is just perfect summer. Really cute in white cotton voile material. It is lined and I found the lining to be a bit more fitted than the top layer of course. So I'm going to size up the Large to see if it's a bit looser and more flow-y overall. The holes of the rick rack over the chest work; they don't reveal too much bra at all.
