"Favorite piece from Boden by far! I'm a US size 4 and the 10 fit perfectly. Bought graphite and mink - flattering, simple, dress it up or dress it down. Very forgiving around the stomach but doesn't look like maternity. Highly recommend."

"I now have the shirt in 3 colors and would buy the purple if it ever became available. I am not slim anymore but consider myself an average size 8 or 10 usa . This fits well and does not make me look pregnant even though at my age i am now adding on belly layers. The length is great bothin the body of the shirt and the sleeves. The bust line of shirt is very flattering to my B cup size bust.
I have received multiple positive comments on this shirt every time i wear it. Even from my partner and he is not the most observant man in the world.
the only thing is my daughter threw one of my tops in the dryer
and it shrunk. I guess she will now be the proud new owner.
I really really hope that Boden will continue to make this shirt but in different colors . I would buy them all!"

"I just got this shirt and love it! It washes wonderfuly, it is so soft and super comfy. I love the pleats on top. The bottom of the shirt does flair out a bit, but I actually like it. I have had 3 kids and do not have a flat tummy anymore. This shirt covers it in a nice way. Love the sleeve lenght too, I don't have to push them up to get things done.
I bought the dark gray and it looks great with jeans and a pair of trousers I bought last year from Boden- I was very exctied! The size is true too."

"After reading the reviews, I decided to order this top. Being rather buxom, it's a flattering fit, and doesn't overemphasise the bosom ! Pleae carry on with this style for future seasons, but a wider range of colours would be appreciated."

"I think someone super skinny would look great in this - like the models! But the scoop neck doesn't flatter me and the gathers that fan out so low just made it feel like a maternity top on me, even though I don't have the body shape of a pregnant person."

"Ordered this top as I had a voucher to spend. I like the top but if I had paid full price for it I would have been disappointed with the quality and thickness of the material for a £25 top! Ordered the grey so that I could mix and match that neutral colour with necklaces etc. and it is perfect for that."

"I just had a baby 3 months ago and the drape of the fabric is perfect for hiding the tummy I have yet to get rid of. I was sick of wearing maternity clothes because my regular clothes still didn't fit. This piece is a great transition item as I continue to lose weight to get back to my pre-pregnancy size."

"Between the pleats and the flare, this is that top that can hide any flaw. The very lightweight fabric keeps you cool on a late summer's day. This is too light for fall, but a great piece for spring and summer."

"These really are lovely comfy practical tops. I am a lumpy dumpy size 14/16 and a size 14 fits a treat, hangs beautifully, covers a multitude of sins and has 3/4 length sleeves which means no rolled up or wet cuffs when you wash up. If funds alllow I am buying a grey one too ( I have the blue). Buy some!!"

"I started shopping Boden last summer. I was hesitant at first because of the sizing but their conversion to uk sizes are pretty much on the mark. I did find I had to order a size up for the fall shirts as the sleeves tend to run small. But I took them to my alteration's girl to get taken up on the sides and they look great! Better than buying department store shirts and running into someone with the same shirt on."

"I have a large bust, so I decided to buy the next size up after reading the other reviews. I was anxious that it may look to big around the waist and therefore look more like a maternity smock. Fortunately it fits great! I am really pleased with the quality of the fabric and the colour, (grey). Just wondering whether to buy the mink. I think this top is great value for money and is really stylish. I just wish there were more colours to choose from"

"when the top arrived I thought it looked too boxy and shorter than expected, but once on, the fit was great. i am a 12/14 but ordered the 14 and this fits well. perhaps if you are tall (i'm only 5'3") it might be a bit short in the length, but was perfect for me. was snug across the bust without being too tight and i thought overall very flattering. also one of those tops that are useful on a 'fat' day when you want to hide the tummy area. Considering getting another colour - wish there was a dark brown."

"A super top if you have a small bust. The fabric is soft and drapes beautifully, and the slight bell sleeves add a fashionable and glamorous twist. However, I have had to iron the pleats on the front to make them lie flat after washing. I have the dark grey colour and it looks fab with jeans."

"Perfect for a strange body shape like mine, with small bust and hips, but large stomach. Makes me look thinner. Love the grey - goes with everything. But could do with more colours. Best thing I've bought for ages. Would buy another but blue and mink don't suit me."
