Customer Reviews NYDJ Blouse w/ Pleated Back

I have worn these pleat-back 3/4 sleeve tops every day for years and they are being phased out and replaced with these. The difference in this new style is that the buttons go all the way down the blouse but you cannot tell from the photos of the style change. I have sent 6 shirts back to various stores. These fit boxy and huge (I am 5'7", 200 lbs. and wear an XL in the old style with placket 3/4 way down blouse.) The XL in the new style is large all over and not attractive on the body although the prints are lovely. I am so disappointed as I have worn these tops every day because they are easy to wear to work and everyday activities and need no ironing. Please bring back the pleat-back blouse that buttons only part-way down the front.

Very pretty blouse. They run a little large, so size down. I liked it so much that I bought three. A great piece that can be dressed up or down. Well made and a wonderful addition that can be worn for three seasons.

I got the goldenrod yellowish print, very pretty. I think it runs a bit large and might look a little maternityish if not tucked in, but five stars for the nice fabric and quality.

I ordered a small first and it was too large. I am 5'2" and weigh 125 lbs. Fairly slender. I hope the extra-small will work because this is a very cute blouse.

Love the color and the fit. I am 5’6” and a 36C chest and I wear a small. This is my 4 th blouse in this style. I am sorry I missed the yellow and gray one…it was sold out. They are cool and require no ironing and flattering. In the picture my 95 year old mother has one on and I have another one on! It’s the same size small.

Nice dressy shirt, order a large as suggested and it was spot on.

Runs large, I am 5'7, 165 & the Medium fits beautifully. I got white, which is very sheer, needing an undershirt. I also add a safety pin to raise the neckline a bit. I love it cause it's very well made, drapey, crepey and lovely tucked in or left out (although the see through white looks a little odd over dark bottoms when left out). It's tough to find dressy shirts/blouses, so I'm already excited to try a print in this one!

Great shirt. Own in multiple colors. Runs large . Size down.

Fantastic blouse! It is a quite thin material, but with a camisole underneath it is perfect. Bought for a business trip to Asia in a very hot and humid region, and worked brilliantly. Looks professional enough for a business meeting, but easy to dress down with Jeans or capris. Traditional 3/4 sleeves, and the pleating in the back is very flattering. Very nice!!

Love these shirts. Own many of them. They wash and dry like a dream and can dress up or down. They run big. I usually wear a small but an extra small does it for me on these.

Beautiful colors and seems well made. However, runs very large, especially around the torso, so need to return.

This blouse runs very, very big. I normally wear a Small (5'3, 115 pounds). I was swimming in it. The Extra Small is okay and I've kept it but it is still a little too roomy. Otherwise, I love it and have ordered a black as well. The other colors are a bit too "Miami Beach" for me.

Very pretty, vivid colors.Fabric is soft and wearable, no wrinkles. Runs big and short.

It’s a classic blouse- Especially good if you have a business casual work place (dressy casual). Looks nice with black pants. Cuffs are easy to moderate to button. Easy wash and air dries quickly (no need to dry clean). I would recommend it.

This blouse is very comfortable and easy to wear but it does run really large. I ordered a small, re-ordered in the extra small and kept it but it is still kind of on large-ish side. Shapeless got sure but it worked with slender bottom silhouette.

100% see through

This top is ridiculously large. I am 160# 5'6. I wear either an XL or L top. I ordered this in a L. It is so large it practically falls off. The V neck comes below the front center of my bra. And may I add, this to way too expensive. I assumed (again) that something more expensive would be a better fit.

Even after I washed it by itself on delicate cycle once I took it out of the box after receiving (weird smell when received), it dried with all the wrinkles still in it. A piece of crap that looks like it was under someone's bed.

Good variety of colors.

Great for gardening!

So easy and comfortable over cropped pants or jeans.

Beautiful blouse, runs true to size. I wear a size 6 and the small fits very nicely with room to spare. It’s long enough that it looks pretty over leggings or tucked into trousers.

I'm 5'7 weigh 165, 36 C chest, and the medium fits perfectly. I could have gone with a large but the medium fits me and it wasn't too restrictive in the chest or arms. I broke down and bought 3 of these blouses as they are so versatile and good for use wherever. The Shannon Gardens blue is darker than the picture shows and quite lovely. It pairs well with denim jeans of any color as well as office attire. I purchased this exact blouse, except it was in black, four years ago and it has held up quite well, probably because I've dry-cleaned it over the years. These blouses are washable on the delicate cycle and I hang dry mine if I don't have time to get it to the dry cleaners. It's an outstanding wardrobe addition & worth every dollar I've spent on them.

I am 5’2” and weigh 125. A small was the perfect size.
