Think of every button up shirt you have ever tried on. It gaps at the boobs, fits everywhere but the hips, it looks like a box, the shoulders are too tight, the fabric is see through. Not this shirt, I mean it this shirt is EVERYTHING. I am ready to break up with my girlfriend and take this shirt down to the courthouse. Tradlands: You delivered! Thank you.
Ok so all that being said, I am sure you can imagine that I have been waiting for this shirt to come for awhile. I first learned about this brand via facebook ad, which seems to be where I learn about everything these days. I love the photos on the website, but these shirts are expensive -like hella expensive- I waited a good long while before ordering one. I read reviews and looked on the website. I read all of the descriptions and thought about, pondered my finances and decided that if this shirt is everything it claimed to be it would be worth it. My best friend's mom taught us that if you are concerned about price divide that number in half every time you wear it. If you are only going to wear it once, then a $167 shirt is not worth it. If, on the other hand, you plan to wear a shirt regularly then it is worth it. I am in a place in my life where I am trying to focus on quality and when possible clothes made in the USA.
This shirt delivers on every aspect. My body shape is both curvy and petite, I normally must buy a huge shirt to make sure that it buttons over boobs and hips, which leaves my waist swimming in the middle. That is not the case here. The fit is great! The other thing I love about this shirt is the weight of the fabric. It is thick, and is the kind of fabric that just gets better with time. The best part is that I am wearing a black bra under this shirt and I won't need to layer a cami underneath. All the shirts come with their promise of quality. Here is the shirt I am wearing, The Elms.

This is going to be my go to shirt. Work and play, under a sweater, with jeans, with a scarf, with pearls. It makes me feel like I look so put together and classic. As soon as it came I ordered two more during their summer sale. It is something that you may need to save for or plan for, if you are on the fence I am telling you go for it. You can use this link to get $25 off your first purchase: http://fbuy.me/edLf3 I also get a discount next time I buy, so if you do decide to order, Thank-you! I would love a closet of these shirts. I will be saving for awhile to get another! Have you tried one of these shirts? Thinking about it? Let me know in the comments!
Great review! Thank you for the pics & helpful notes. I have been looking at these shirts, ready to take the plunge.
