This top is so soft! I'm also a sucker for balloon sleeves. Lets talk about fit as I did something in this I do not often do. I'm typically a size L, 12/14, in tops. I tend to size down in flowy tops or up at times as well. With this one, given the boxy nature, I actually sized down to a Small. Not something I do often, BUT, with this one it works for me. Do not size down 2 sizes 1) if you have a longer torso and/or 2) are tall. I'm average height (5'4") with a shorter torso. I definitely lost length in the top but for me it still hits at the top of my hips and the sleeves are at my wrist bones while still being flowy. It's actually so versatile that with this fit I can easily wear to work or a nice restaurant.
