When I got this shirt and first tried it on, I thought...hmm, it's a little bit fussy, but then I steamed out the creases from shipping and the cotton relaxed a bit. I wore it with the top two buttons open, and it fit perfectly. I got 3 compliments yesterday on this shirt! It's feminine without being too over the top; I realized that over the past year I'd become much too comfortable dressing in overly casual clothes. Time to step it up again, and this shirt is definitely a step up!
