Nice print, strange fit
I liked the floral print on this top and in person it is so pretty in the chartreuse. The fabric felt good and would be perfect for spring, and I liked the v-neckline too. Unfortunately, the design just didn't work for me. There is pleating, or gathering at the top, which goes to the front center, and the fabric does not lie flat. The fabric puffs out all across the upper chest, and it is just a strange look. I could have probably tacked the fabric down in some places to make it lie flat, but didn't want to take the chance. It was otherwise a good fit in my normal size xs, but I wasn't happy with the sleeves either. There is elastic at the end, and so I thought I'd be able to push the sleeves up, but the elastic is too big and they don't stay up. Had to return this one.

Disappointed!
I was so excited to receive this top today but as soon as I took it out of the packaging I already knew I wasn't going to like it. I tried it on any way (large) my regular size on QVC. The first thing I didn't like was the fit, the shoulders are cut too narrow, the length is too short and the neckline was just weird... It did not compliment my figure at all! It made me look matronly or frumpy not what I
invisioned when I ordered it. Isaac take this one back to drawing board, maybe do it in a cotton blend, not polyester (yuk) and give it some shape around the bust line. The knot you have there now needs some tweeking!
I do love the print though!

Best Top Ever!!!
Love this top! I like the color (pinkish-coral background), the fit and the feel of the lightweight fabric. I can wear with capris or dress it up with slacks and pearls. It is a keeper!

Sorry Isaac!
I really love your clothing but this one didn't live up to your quality or design elements. The fabric had so much static cling. I ordered the peach and I looked like I was wearing a floral tablecloth. The ruffle down the middle hung weird and kept showing the under side of the fabric. Sort of over sized as well. I normally wear your size small, but this was huge on me. Not flattering at all. I'm returning but will keep watching for more of your fashions.

Beautiful fabric
Yes, I agree the fabric is beautiful, however the construction of the blouse is off. The pleating is kind of above the bustline, almost to chest area and does not look very flattering. Also, for the money, the ruffle should definitely have had a backing. It looked tacky to see the unfinished back of the ruffle. Sorry, but this one is going back.

Beautiful But Poor Sizing
This blouse is lovely but my regular size was way too big so back it went. It is pretty pricey so I did not reorder considering I had to pay return charges . I am dismayed that QVC no longer has consistency of sizes among all the vendors. This has been a problem with several things I ordered, particularly in this last year. There should be some agreement on measurements, especially with mail order garments .

Beautiful Blouse
I ordered this blouse in the beautiful blue and am wearing it today with wine colored slacks and a plum colored blazer (never thought this color combination would work, but saw it in the flowers and knew it could). I'll wear it with white or dove grey when Spring finally arrives. After seeing this on the models, I assumed this was a knit fabric but it is actually a very soft woven material. The fit is very true to size and good. The only thing that kept me from giving this top 5 stars was that the back of the ruffle is unfinished and shows the back side of a fabric printed on one side only, so as you move around, white fabric with color bleed through is showing. To really make this a designer top - the ruffle should have been doubled so it was the same on both sides.

BEAUTIFUL!!!
This is a beautiful blouse. It is a bit expensive, but the print is wonderful!!! I ordered it in the Citron and it will go with alot of things. I purchased the Medium, it seems a bit snug, so I will exchange for the large. It is hanging in my bedroom and it is like a piece of art. LOVE IT

LOVE FLOWERS
Isaac knows how to make a women feel beautiful. I ordered the baby blue. Such a beautiful print. Perfect for spring. I can wear it all year round here in California.
