Lovely top

Yes, I recommend this

Top is nice but a strange fit. Not a brilliant white more of an off white.

Body summer top, looks good

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely top, although sizing way out, went down a size from reading previous reviews but still had to exchange for even smaller size, pleased I did though

Stylish yet casual, a good all rounder which could be worn over cami top or on its own.

Cool and fashionable.

I am getting ready for a hot summer. I’ve bought light weight trousers, shirts and blouses. This one is a welcome edition. Pretty and practice. I intend to be cool but fashionable.

Nice blouse but far too big!! 😳

Yes, I recommend this

Liked this blouse in the online photos however felt it didn’t suit me when I tried it on. Lovely quality so it’s a shame it ‘wasn’t me’. Only real issue with this product is the sizing - these blouses are massivel! I ordered 2 blouses - one in one size smaller and one in two sizes smaller (after reading reviews) and the smaller was still a bit too big!

Lovely blouse

Yes, I recommend this

Very pretty blouse but too big. Have ordered a smaller size. I am a standard size 14 but this is the third item I have bought recently that I've had to change for a size 12. What is happening to your sizing?

Very boxy shape and size down

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this to match the shorts and also to wear with other items. I sized down from my usual 12 (bought a 10) and even this was quite a loose fit. It's not a very flattering shape on me - very boxy, it looks better undone over a cami or a tee than fully buttoned.

Lovely design, light fabric

Originally posted on marksandspencer.ie

Lovely fabric, however the lace section tightens quite a lot when washed. The pockets are very obvious as the shorts are so light and fine.

Pretty blouse

Yes, I recommend this

This is really pretty & I’m looking forward to wearing it when the weather heats up (a lot). It comes up really large, I would usually buy a 14 sometimes a 12 but I could only get a 10 & the shirt is still really roomy. I probably could have had an 8. It’s got a line of wiggly stitching across the chest which I didn’t notice on line - it’s ok, but I think it would look better without it
