Scarlet DarknessWomens Work Tops Dressy Casual 2025 Elegant Short Puff Sleeve Victorian Peasant Blouses

Beautiful silky fabric, and very well made. It’s part of my personal “wench” wardrobe. In costumes, I wear a 10-12, and ordered an XL which fits perfectly. A medium fit perfectly when I wore costumes size 8. If you want “room” in your blouse, order a size larger than I’ve referenced. Example, if I wanted a looser fit, I’d need an XXL. With the lacing in the back you have more opportunity to adjust the fit.

This is a lovely, gothic looking shirt. I first ordered a Large which is my normal size. I was able to button it and it looked fine across the chest, but it gaped a little bit between the buttons and the sleeves were just a little tight. I returned it for an XL and it fits perfectly. For reference I am 5'4", 170lbs, and a 36C bust. It has room for my chest and doesn't feel stretched at all. The fabric is not see through, and doesn't feel thin. The corset ribbon in the back can be tied either loose or tight depending on the look I want for around my waist. It's not a true corset top though, so it won't cinch you in. It is just a lightweight ribbon. I also really, really like that there are two little snaps in the bust area so I can keep wardrobe malfunctions from happening.Things to look out for: The buttons are a little hard to do up. They button into stretchy loops and it does feel like a button could get ripped off easily. I fixed that by reinforcing the sewing of the buttons with more thread and they do feel stronger now. I had a little problem with the ribbon in the back slipping out when I was putting it on a hanger, but it's easy to fix. I will definitely be hand washing this shirt though. I think if you put it through the washer and dryer it might ruin it. I'll also be using my garment steamer for wrinkles as an iron would probably melt this fabric.

You really need to size up. I read the reviews and took the advice of others. My granddaughter has a very small waist and is well endowed so sizing was a bit of a challenge but we went for a XL. Glad we did! We can always take the waist in. However while the bust is a tad big in the XL, had we gone with the L, the pleats would have been stretched to the limit. She’s a 34DDD if the helps.

I like the style but it kept twisting on me. I think it needed a heavier fabric also too keep it's shape.

Beautiful lines--elegant, perfect for Victorian vibe; color true to photo, comfortable, easy care. Material snags easily is only issue. Reasonable price.

The item is very pretty and I am glad it wasn't stolen.. The item was left outside with no packaging and leaving the item in full view on the step outside my entrance door.

The top left part of the shirt has too much fabric leaving too much of a gap. It's too wide. It just doesn't fit correctly. I bought a similar shirt in a different color previously and it was fine. I kept thinking I could find a way to adjust this one, but I can't and it is now outside of the return window. Disappointed.

It's exactly what I was looking for. The material is very soft, flowing, and elegant looking and feeling. It has a light, glowing appeal. The buttons and ribbon sets the whole look off perfectly.When it arrived folded in a shipping envelope there was a little crinkling that was taken care of by spritzing it with cold water and hanging to released the folds from shipping.The fabric also breathes well.I would consider purchasing again in other colors. Love it!
