Since I purchased this blouse on clearance, I initially felt like a winner when I saw just how radiant it was. However, the fabric has no stretch so you must measure your bust and waist to order the right size. The blouse was too close in the arms, in my opinion. I could not raise my arms much, which generally suggests that the shirt is too small. So if you're trying to decide between two sizes, choose the larger one. The high-low style really makes my legs look longer. The long hem at the back and the bouffant sleeves are reminiscent of an aristocratic fashion. I always love bright colours but admittedly the pattern on this blouse is hypnotising so try not to look at it too hard.
