"I brought this for my daughter, she is yet to wear it, but loves it, especially the dark vintage style. It feels like good quality and is cotton so good for her eczema prone skin."
— Dawn T. (5/5)
"fits perfect, super cute, layers well, fabric is a little shiny but it's all good for me."
— Erin P. (5/5)
"The shirt is beautiful; I wear it to the office, and everyone asks where I bought such a work of art. The quality is excellent, and the size is slightly smaller than recommended—the material doesn't stretch, but it's fine. I always order a M, and this time it's also fine, just a little tight."
— Marzena B. (5/5)
"Cute look! Fits well. Good fabric and exactly my size."
— Julia T. (5/5)

"Really nice detail on it. Nice fit. Good quality. Fast and easy delivery."
— Laura M. (5/5)
"Perfekt A Little analysiert but a Dream"
— Sebastian B. (5/5)
"Fabric very good quality. Size and fit running rather smaller than usual, you should double check the measurements as they do not fit standards. Negative- delivery and exchange was way too long. Dispatch should be within 2 days not 10 days and same goes for the exchange. It took over a month to complete the sale. You MUST improve on this! I am not convinced I will be buying again."
— Katarzyna N. (5/5)
