"I was delighted to find this top in the sale, having looked at it longingly in the catalogue for some time. I have the purple version, and the detailing is far more lovely than I expected - the velvet ribbon under the bust and embroidered flowers give it a real sense of quality. The fabric is, however, quite thin, and dealing with it after a wash is a bit tricky - hard to iron! The style also won't suit everyone - I am reasonably large chested (size 14, 34D) and it fits me very well, without gaping too much, but I imagine other people will want to wear a cami underneath."

"This top fits me really well but is snug for Boden on the bust so you may need to upsize. Really like the style and the length (not too short). I have the khaki one and it's a lovely colour"

"This is a good top for smart/casual and it looks good with jeans or trousers. I got the green which is a lovley colour and got a compliment the first time I wore it. I normally wear a size 12 and this came up slightly slimmer than some other Boden tops, but for me this was perfect."

"I loved the look of this top that I ordered two, but both have had to go back. I am a size 12 and like other reviews I found it snug around the middle and gaping on the bust that it would have needed a cami to be decent. Such a shame as I loved the designs and could have quite easily have bought all four."

"I normally love everything I buy from Boden but this is (hopefully) an exception. A lot of money for not very much top, which didn't fit well and has been returned. I hope you have more luck."

"Really lovely top - I had the summer version with the scallops around the bottom so was excited when this came out! But as before, it isn't true to size - ordered a 14 but was really snug on my tummy but perfect on my bust - have exchanged for a 16 which is a little large on the bust but generally a good fit - always a 14 in Boden tops except this one!!"

"This is such a pretty top, and the embroidery detail on the purple colour I ordered is lovely.
However it's a pity, but for me the fit is too tight around my middle, but fits perfectly on bust. Could not therefore size up.Usually size 12 tops are fine, so I was sorry to return"

"A very nice and beautiful top with a really good quality. But there is a BUT for me, because it seems that I am an inbetween size-wearer: normally 8 but in this case too small. 10 is too big, I was so sad about it. Tried it yesterday but have to send it back. So, here is my tip: Please collect size experiences from other customers."

"I bought the green which is perhaps a little duller than shown on the website ... I still like it though. I'm between size 10 and 12 so ordered the 12 based on other people's comments. It fits nearly OK .... perhaps a tad on the big side. I'm going to keep it as I'm generally happy with it. I've put a stitch in the front though to stop it gaping open when I lean forward."

"Lovely colour and fabric. Shape is very flattering. Can be dressed up or down. Have had to pin the front wrap together (necessary for those of us with an aversion to showing too much cleavage) and the zip sometimes rubs a bit under my arm. But overall am very pleased."

"Every time I wear this shirt I get asked where I got it from. Everyone loves it. Ive bought two in different colours. It is great with jeans and looks so different to anything else in my wardrobe. Ive worn it in the day with jeans and in the evening with trousers. Good fit although a little difficult to iron. But well worth the ironing hassle !"

"Really nice top, fits beautifully and feels really nice to wear. Is a bit low cut for me, but camisole underneath solves that. I bought the aubergine colour - looks great with white, not sure about other matches...."

"I bought this top as a smart but casual top to wear with jeans and it does the job perfectly. My only criticism would be that it is a little too fitted and would advise ordering a size larger."
