Fit & Sizing

Does it fit true to size, and what size should I choose?

Most feedback suggests it runs true to size, with reviewers calling out a great fit and accurate sizing. One customer who usually wears AU 12–14 said the Medium fit perfectly, and another shared that they’re a size 8 with a 34C/12C bust and chose a Small.

Based on 4 customer reviews
Is it actually flattering, or does it cling?

Several reviewers describe the top as flattering, crediting the cut and drape for how it sits on the body. The repeated mention of “drape” suggests it falls smoothly rather than clinging tightly. People also note it looks good styled with different bottoms, which often depends on a flattering shape.

Based on 4 customer reviews
Is the length at the waist on the shorter side?

One reviewer noted the fit was perfect overall but said it could ideally be a bit longer at the waist. No other reviews explicitly mention length concerns, so it may depend on your torso length or preferred coverage. If you like longer tops, it may be worth checking the product measurements before ordering.

Lovely blouse; soft fabric, comfy to wear, great style..I bought a medium (usually wear between 12-14) and this fits perfectly. Ideally could be a bit longer at the waist, but otherwise a lovely top and I also bought this in the cherry colour, which is really pretty.
