Printed Wrap Round Neck Long Sleeve Blouse

I loved the look of this, but like many others (I read the reviews after purchase) I struggled with the ties. The fit is good, the garment is well finished and the material is gorgeous. However, It was difficult to tie without bunching up across my back. This probably would not have been a problem for someone with an angular shape, but for someone with curves it was a bit of a challenge! Rather than send it back I altered the side seams to give a split below waist level and this cured the problem. I also found it easier to tie a half bow which reduced the volume of material and gave a more dramatic shape. It was more than I would normally spend on a blouse so it was such a shame I could not wear it straight away.

I kept this top and altered it (idea from a previous reviewer) to take off the wrap around material, which didn't flatter the shape (or mine) at all. The top now flows nicely with fluted sleeves and hem. I wasn't attracted to this top online, but was after seeing the true vibrant colours in store.

material is lovely and seems much more expensive . Even better , I got 20% discount so am very happy. The top fits very well . I was put off buying due to other reviews suggesting that the tie is too difficult to bother with but it just takes a little time to get used to it . I very carefully untied it before trying on so had a better idea of how it should be done . I'm so glad I went ahead and bought it.

The colour is beautiful very unusual . It's stunning when on

An absolute dream, beautifully designed. Yes the wrap has got a lot of fabric but it's easy to wrap around through the loop at the back and tie at the front. A stunner!!! More please M & S.

I can understand why this garment has caused problems for people. There is a lot of material and it is difficult to get to grips with. I removed the loop and wrapped it round to suit myself and think it looks quite effective. I had more problems with the sleeves than the wrap and have shortened them.

This is a beautiful piece, although an instruction booklet is needed to get it on! I eventually realised once on there is a loop at the back to tie round and into. Great colour, fit and soft to touch. Sleeves a tad long for a 5ft gal!

Kept seeing this advertised in magazines, but weeks later found it online , snapped it up quick! Really unusual design , spring fresh print, slashed detail to sleeve, fashionable and gorgeous, can't wait for warmer weather to enjoy it

Loved the colours and style. Tricky to do the knots , but looks different. Expensive but loved the material and goes nice with jeans or trousers. I bought height waisted skinny blue jeans to go with the blouse.

Hi, agree fab print, but the wrap couldn't get along with it know matter what way i tied it lol ,so took the blouse to a dress maker and she took the wrap off now have a beautiful blouse and can use the wrap now if want too. hope this is an idea if you don't want to return.

A beautiful blouse, quality material and a stunning pattern, but those ties were way too long for me. I tried to sort out how to get the ties to work for me, but I gave up. I'm so disappointed. I loved it but it wasn't for me.

I love the colour and design of this top and the fabric is really lovely. But there is far too much material in the waist tie and as other reviews have said it ends up looking a bit of a mess once its on as it doesn't sit right. Too much of a faff which is such a shame as otherwise its a beautiful blouse. Consequently it's been returned.

The print on this top is beautiful. However I just could not get the wrap part to sit right , it just looked messy on me .Shame really as the fabric is great.

This has just arrived and the fabric is divine. It takes a little while to learn how to tie but once you've mastered it the top looks beautiful. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 4 x the price in an independent boutique.
