I love this shirt! It's comfortable, the fabric is lush, and it works great by itself or under a suit jacket. I just wish it came in more colors!

Gorgeous Top
Date:June 3, 2012
I have this in two colors, the bright pink and the champagne color. Both are comfortable and elegant pieces. I have received many compliments. I have worn each several times and with the right care they are holding up very well. I love these!

Perfect
Date:May 11, 2012
I bought this in the coral color and went back to purchase the white. Needless to say, I love it! It looks very sophisticated for work. I generally tuck it in a pair of work trousers, or pencil skirt and often pair it with a cardigan. I am so in love with this shirt.

Horrible Fit
Date:April 25, 2012
I bought this blouse for an up-coming interview. I ordered the same size I wear for all of my other Limited tops but this one was HUGE! Really disappointed that I have to return it.
I saw this in the store numerous times, but never picked one up. I actually needed to add something in this price range and got the "shell" color. It's just a PEACH!!!! I tried it on and I can't WAIT to wear this one. I'll def pick up the other colors-
This top is very versatile and could be used year round. Pair it with a suit for a stunning look- skirt, or capris for a casual, run around look.
Add a cute little shrug and you are set!
Don't pass these up- add 1 or add them ALL!
It does run big- so I went with the xs and it was NOT TOO CLINGY! Just right fit!
I normally buy my sleeveless and button up limited shirts in an xs and this size held true in this top as well. I ordered the creme and though it is sheer Im not too worried about showing through much. I did not have any armhole troubles like others did. Overall, I really like this top, any time I can pick up a dressy but simple creme tank for cardigans I take advantage of it!
Washington DC has the most ridiculous summers ever, and I'm constantly trying to find cute clothes that look good at the office, but can handle the 90 degree super humid subway ride I take to get there. That means clothing needs to be light, and breathable, but also looks stylish and professional.
What I love about this shirt is that I can finally wear a something with a shiny front (usually impossible since those fabrics trap heat), and the knit back keeps me cool! The front and back colors are a perfect match too, so it looks really neat to have the shiny front and exact colored but different fabric back.
I own it now in the wild magenta (super rich, bright color and perfect match for the high waist color block skirt), shell (orange-y but super summer-y and gorgeous) and off white. I'm usually not an orange person but the shell color was amazing and not your average pumpkin or bright orange. It was more of a pinkish/burnt orange.
I found the size small draped nicely but was a little looser than I usually wear in the mid section, and the extra small fit better in my mid section, but was a little tight across the bust (I'm a 34-c). So I own 2 in XS and 1 in a S. They all look great. I kept the XS for the shirts I know will get tucked into skirts and pants, and the small for the one I know won’t be tucked in.
My only real gripe is that they wrinkle super easily. BE CAREFUL IRONING. I accidently turned the iron to medium-high and melted one of these within 1/2 a second. I was so angry, but bought a replacement anyways because I loved the shirt so much. You need to iron on low, no exceptions.
This shell is perfect for the office, easy to wash and wear, and very comfortable. It's like wearing a T-shirt, especially under suits. It looks great - my co-workers liked it so much that they're now buying them, too!
Sorry have to say, I bought this Silky charmeuse fabric shell on line in a M.( I am a 36 D) and for one should have bought a S. They run big in the arn, but not arcross the chest. (at least in my case) Next the neck line just sits there with a really narrow fabric line, and a deep yoke. The Berry color is very pretty just like on line, I do like that. But I wouldn't buy any other of these particular shells.

On what planet is this an extra small? Not mine!
Date:March 9, 2012
The shirt's quality looks and feels great, though the fabric is as other reviewers mentioned a little thin. Both white and coral are true to their representation here on the website and indeed beautiful to look at. I just wish I could wear them. The two XS shells I purchased run SO much larger than the Limited's sizing chart suggests. At 5'5", I weigh an occasionally gaunt-looking 95 lbs, and I'm used to retailers like this one making beautiful clothes that just aren't cut for me. However, given the measurements listed on the sizing chart, I thought I'd be in for a loose but wearable shell. Instead, I received an "XS" a woman who wears a US size 8 or 10 could wear. The bust was 40" in diameter! Unwearable. I'll be returning. Sorry, Limited!

Love It!
Date:March 6, 2012
This blouse feels incredible on and drapes beautifully. I am purchasing it in all colors and highly recommend it!
I bought my normal size XS and it is big on me (34C). It gaps a little across the chest under my armpits. I love the off-white and wild magenta colors though, so I decided to keep those colors (returned the other two since they didn't look quite right on me). The material is thin so I'll probably always wear a jacket or cardigan over the top. These tops are really cute could have been made better. The quality is a little lacking.

Thin Shirt
Date:February 28, 2012
I bought this shirt in white and in light pink. The fabric was much thinner than I expected. Definitely need to wear a cami underneath. The shirt is going to be great in the summer time to wear with my suits, but I wouldn't be able to take the jacket off while in the office.

too big in my size
Date:February 22, 2012
I loved the look of this shell online. The color is beautiful in person as well. I ordered it in my typical size but when I tried it on it was so big. I will be exchanging it for 1 size down.
these are beautiful, rich-looking shells, but I was disappointed that the "wild magenta" is actually a dark raspberry; the "shell" is orange and not coral-I have been searching high and low for a classy hue of orange!); the "off-white" and the "sycamore" (sort of a "mink" hue-looks fabulous w/the drk chocolate suit) are true to color (both colors very elegant);these are perfect to wear under TL suits and also open-shawl cardigans; the material is soft and the cowl is silky. I bought all 4!
