This is so comfortable, but it does run small. I purchased this in the size 42, due to my experience with clothing from overseas. It runs just a bit loose, but this style is meant to be worn that way. My measurements are 36D, 29. I have a short torso, so this runs a bit longer on me, also my preference with this style. This has a block cut, and it reminds me of a smock fit. So a bit shapeless, a bit long. The elegance comes in the cold shoulder and the lace fabric. Let that do the talking. I think it looks best worn with no jewelry. If you wore this with heels, it could fit in beautifully at an upscale restaurant. If you pair it with some patterned leggings, (GO CRAZY!) it is perfect for a night clubbing. The perfect shirt for many occasions. It’s a medium weight, so it can be worn in cooler weather comfortably. Excellent quality.
