BIG DARTBlouses for Women Fashion, Long Sleeve Button Down Shirts Dressy Casual Tops

THIS IS AN UPDATE ON THE REVIEW I WROTE AFTER MY FIRST PURCHASE IN SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR. AT THAT TIME I WROTE: Leopard print is easy to get wrong: too much red in the brown, too much blue in the black (a blue-black can be awful when put up against brown, tan and beige. In this case no such problem the coloring was wonderful, the rosettes were not too big not too small: just right. At home it went well with my favorite camel and tan- it looked great with a rich dark brown skirt. I have warm coloring (I have been declared an "Autumn" by every source I've gone to for help defining my best colors. This shirt was perfect for me: my black leather jacket looked great too. My dark brown-black suede skirt made me want more. It was nicely made and in my hands the fabric had a nice slightly heavy silk-ish feel. LOVED IT. PERFECT FOR AUTUMN and WORKS GREAT AS A NEUTRAL TOO. BUY one if you like the look online.....my bet is that you probably will not regret this one.The first blouse arrived mid September and every time I wear it I get compliments for how good it looks on me. Fact is when I look in the mirror the coloring seems to work really well with my skin tone. People told me my eyes look green (my eyes are hazel). I looked in the mirror at home and behold even I could see it looked like I had green eyes. This has happened before: sure, I make a point of buying colors that look good with my warm skin. Colors that bring out the green in my eyes I keep around to wear on days when Im tired and want to look healthier or just my best. Sometimes I go ahead and purchase another to have in reserve in case something happens to the first piece.I've lost clothes I like a few times: one time a dry cleaner lost a favorite sweater; another time I forgot to look in all the closets and let a pair of favorite jeans in a closet - by the time I realized id lost the jeans it was too late the hotel only keeps these things for so long..... losing clothing is a rare event but staining clothing is not. So when I find something that I really love or that really works with my skin tone I take no chances and like to have an extra at hand just in case something happens.

Fabric feels good. Colts are nice. I didn’t like the pink heart on it which doesn’t show in the advertised picture. How very disappointing. It made the blouse unprofessional & definitely cheapened the look.

White shirt in XXL:I wish I could go back to where I reviewed the blue and white print version of this, because it has become, hands down, my favourite shirt! I hope I will like the white as well (so far I have only tried it on, I wash new clothes before wearing them).The fabric is 100% viscose, which is a natural fabric made from trees (well, using a chemical process, but the end result is similar to cotton), and it is lovely and very comfortable and soft and doesn't make me sweat in the heat. Although the fabric isn't heavy, the weave is tight enough that the shirts aren't too sheer. I can wear the blue print shirt with any bra, and I think I can wear the white with a beige bra and no undershirt, which is nice because I live in a very hot country. The cut of these shirts is very nice, and they are easy to wear. I sized up due to wide shoulders, a full chest and large arms, and I have lots of room, and the material flows nicely, so I can tuck it all in and the excess fabric over the waist and hips isn't bulky. Very comfy, very classy.The only reason I took off a point is because the cuffs are oddly large (this is coming from a big-boned lady over 5'10" tall), so I have to roll up the sleeves even though they are actually long enough for me to wear unrolled.A note on the colour: I previously read a review on this shirt that said it was off-white. The shirt I received was optic white. A bright, cool white. As I had read it was off-white, I planned to wear it with beige and ecru, but this shade of white goes better with blue, grey, and black.Black & White floral print in XL:I am tall with broad shoulders, and to be honest, I can barely tell the difference between the XL and XXL. Both are loose, but the fabric flows nicely, so both work well on me. They have the vibe I'm looking for and are comfortable in the heat. As I mentioned, I initially bought this, last year I think, in the blue and white floral print and it is THE BEST SHIRT. The blue print reminds me of old French wall-hangings (in a very good way), or Delft pottery (which I love) and it is gorgeous and incredibly classy. It looked to me in the picture like the black had a sort of weathered look, a bit faded, but in real life, the black print is really true, solide black and white, so it's higher contrast, doesn't have the antique vibe the blue has, and is borderline harsh on me (because I am a grey-haired old bat!). So it is slightly disappointing for me, but others may love it. Just be aware that the print is more contrasted and clear-cut than it seems in the picture (to my eyes at least). I will still probably wear it. But I wish I had ordered a second blue one instead. I shouldn't have told everybody, because I can't order it right away, and I hope the blue ones won't be sold out by the time I can place another order... Amazon people, if you are reading me, please send me a blue one for free, LOL!

I've had this blouse in my cart for a few months debating whether to purchase it or not. I love the look of houndstooth. I wasn't sure about the fabric - would it be too thin, not drape well, not fit well. I immediately tried it on when I received it and it fit perfect. It was a soft drape without being too thin. this obviously goes well with black slacks but also with my jeans. I wore a chunky silver necklace and it was a perfect outfit. I have also worn it with a thin white turtleneck underneath it. If you are debating getting this blouse like I was, don't hesitate.

I’ve always loved houndstooth patterns. This button down collared top is perfect for work and meetings. The fabric is soft snd drapes beautifully. It has a “cool” feeling to touch. The cut is not too full but not too tight. Three stars for that. The minor negatives are shorter length in sleeves and overall shirt length. I find it SO annoying when the sleeve cuff is above my wrist and I pull it down over and over. 🙄 When tucked into a pair of moderately high waisted jeans, the sides of the top didn’t stay tucked. Minor issues relative to the look and feel of this top.

Quality fabric, easy to care for, stays smooth and wrinkle-free when wearing. Dries without wrinkles, though I mostly hand-wash and air dry my favourite blouses. Colors stay vivid - really dresses up my jeans and skirts!

Light, soft material. Great for summer. The color is quite different. It is more vibrant than it's on the photo. Not what I expected, but I like it very much.
