Embroidered Panel Crop Top

It has been a long time since I've actually worn a blouse. But I'm having shoulder surgery in the (hopefully) near future and I need tops that button. This shirt appeals to me because it is simple yet interesting. The slightly cropped shape suited a few long skirts I bought in preparation for the surgery. The embroidered panelsreminds me somewhat of the ancient Japanese art of Sashiko. At any rate, I took a risk on this shirt because it isn't in my local Nordstrom store and I therefore couldn't try it on. Happily, the shirt fit well, and gave my skirts a fresh look. The cap sleeves are flattering and will make this shirt cool in our hotter months. A note about the color: Coconut White. The shirt is really more of a white, not cream or eggshell. But it's also not a blinding in your face white. As for size, ffter doing some research, I discovered that Resistor clothing tends to run small. Not sure if this is true, but I'm generally a medium, and I purchased the large based on the comments and reviews. Glad I did.
