The blouse is very soft and shiny. It has that luxury feel of high-end blouses. It pairs well with business slacks or jeans for a dressed down look. I really believe the blouse speaks for itself so I'm going to focus on the sizing. Blouses like these can be fitted or billowy, depending on the aesthetic you're going for. I am 5'5, currently between 150 and 160 lb. I ordered a large. As you can see in my picture it is technically larger on me, however, it still works with the professional aesthetic I wanted.This kind of blouse is definitely a must-have staple piece for your wardrobe, you will look polished every time you wear it and I received several compliments when I wore it to the office today.
