MinibeeWomen's 3/4 Sleeve Cotton Linen Jacquard Blouses Top T-Shirt

The fabric of this blouse is wonderful. There is a bit of a crinkle and it does not look wrinkled right out of the dryer. It is well sewn and there are no extra bits of thread here and there. It is versatile going from casual and comfortable to dressy with dress pants and jewelry. I've reordered this blouse twice. It runs full but I think there is a tiny bit of shrinkage in the wash.

FABRIC: beautiful, soft, medium weight and of good quality. Feels like good quality linen should feel; breathes, and hangs beautifully.SLEEVES: I’m 5”4 1/2 inches tall. I wear average lengths in clothes (tops and bottoms).These sleeves reach just at the elbows, so really they are only 1/2 sleeve length for an average western woman. Perhaps they’re 3/4 on a petite or Asian build, but not so on western women. Having said that, to my delight the sleeves are roomy, comfy and hang nicely, so I cannot complain!SIZING: I wear bra size 36ff; am 44inches around the bust, so I opted for Large going by Minibee’s measurement chart. It fits just right.CUT: the cut is beautiful; the shoulder seams fall just over the shoulder where they should, the stitching is good quality and the top is finished very nicely.CARE: I hand washed in cold water and drip dried, to avoid any shrinkage since it is linen/cotton AND I’m 44” bust, right at the top end of the L measurement. I can happily report there was NO shrinkage! I considered ordering XL but I didn’t want a top that was too large, especially with a loose draping cut! So glad I went for the L!Since I love this top so much, I won’t risk the dryer as I don’t want to ruin the top.OVERALL: I’m very pleased with the quality and price point for this top and will be ordering more! Glad I took the risk and ordered despite the mixed reviews! I don’t know what people are complaining about saying the fabric is poor quality because it is most certainly not! It’s excellent value!! Minibee is now my go-to for linen clothes because they are good quality at a price I can afford!!!SUGGESTIONS:1) I wish Minibee would offer a tunic that had true 3/4 sleeves for western built women.2) It would be good if the tops were slightly longer in overall length (only an inch/2cm or so would make a huge difference!)3) a tunic with 3/4 sleeves AND V-Neck AND slightly longer length would make the PERFECT tunic. I’d buy every colour! Especially at this quality and price!! So, I hope Minibee listens and I see something like this very soon (in linen or linen/cotton)!!!!!!

I like this shirt however it is rather large in the sleeves. I can't describe it other than you think maybe you should roll up the sleeve some to make it look better but that doesn't work. The sleeves are just too wide. However, the overall top is great. Love the material and the fit of the rest of the top. I just washed it in hopes it will calm the sleeves down some but if it doesn't, I will still wear it and love it. Goes great with slacks, leggings or jeans.

The punchline: I wear this alot and I'm not sorry I bought it. But there are some cavaets.Pros: Its inexpensive, given that its not made of polyester and rayon, and it doesn't look cheap! On visuals--it delivers. Looks just like the photo.Cons: The reviewers who commented on the "odd fit" are right. For loose fitting garments, I usually wear a small. But based on the reviewers advice, I got the medium. I'm glad I listened. The dimensions for the chest are off. Its too small given the dimesnsions of the rest of the shirt. To be clear, its not just that "it runs small." Its that the dimensions are out of proportion. Its both a little too big and a little too tight. But I wanted a basic, everyday shirt that was made of natural fibers, but, that wouldn't be too expensive. I got what I paid for.

Love these shirts. 3rd one I’ve bought.

I didn't take a star off because I like it so much, but those are not 3/4 sleeves, they hit barely below the elbow on me, it looks awkward. But I will shorten them a couple inches to where I want them and they will be perfect.I really like the fabric texture and weight. And the style is great as long as it's closely fitted but not too tight because it's basically a nice looking smock. If you're looking for a size reference, I'm 5'8" and about 215 lbs. with big hips and bust. Bought an XL, and right out of the package it fits perfect. Trim but not too tight. I really hope it doesn't shrink, but I noticed that the sides could be let out 1/2" per side if needed (and I have a sewing machine plus the skills to use it well).I just ordered another in a different color, that's how much I like it.

Super cute Fits nicely. Does not hug the body. Color is very nice

Love this blouse. Fabric looks very nice. The only issue for me is it is a little longer than I preferred but I am able to hem it shorter. I have not washed it yet so I can’t comment on that.
