Beautiful fabric, fits great, order your normal size
These blouses are surprisingly beautiful! I bought two, one in navy blue and one in white, not sure if I'd keep either, and I'm going to keep both! The white is the first blouse I've bought in a long time that is NOT see-through! There are darts in the bust area for shape, and there's a little stretch in the fabric. Yes, it came with wrinkes, but my husband was able to iron them out without damaging the fabric. (Thumbs up!) The ruffles lay nicely and really add a nice flair to them. One woman mentioned that the ruffles are just serged and "should be folded over and hemmed properly." That's not physically possible. The ruffles have to be cut on such a curve that they couldn't be folded over, and since they lay in RUFFLES, with alternating sides showing, if they COULD be folded over, the wrong side would be showing half the time. Mine is serged neatly and looks very nice. I just washed one, and it came out well with few wrinkles. The photos are of the Navy Blue after washing and hanging to dry (no ironing), and you can see on the 2nd photo that the underarm hole is perfect (very unusual for an XL!). I'm a little over 5'8" and about 185, and I ordered my usual XL, which fits perfectly (and I'm a little busty). I would HIGHLY recommend these blouses, but don't use the size chart! XL is almost 22" at the bust after washing (so almost 44" around), and it fits my 44" bust easily. The tag lists fabric as 95% polyester and 5% spandex. Read more
