Happy Hour Oversize Poplin Button-Up Shirt

I love free people, and I understand their sizing can be larger. This Poplin shirt I knew would be huge, but it was too large. I was looking for an oversized shirt that was flattering, and this was not it. I am right at 5'4", 146 lbs, and have a 28 inch waist. I ordered size XS in the strawberry cream. The color of the shirt was beautiful, and the fabric a bit on the scratchy side (does not mean it would be itchy for you, but I have sensitive skin). I believe this shirt would look great on someone who is tall 5'8"+ and not a petite woman like me. Very sad :N

I like Free People clothes, and know they can be tough to get the right size. I normally wear a Large, ordered a medium, and realizing it would shrink, washed and dried it. But it’s just awkward. The sleeves are short, even for me, and I wear a petite. When pushed up, they look like a clown shirt. Looks crazy over jeans, too long for shorts. I regret purchasing it.

Sadly, I did not even open the plastic bag in which this garment was sent. I had this on my wishlist and purchased when it went on sale. It was wadded up in a big mess and had frayed edges exposed. The picture is completely deceiving. To me it looks like a pretty poplin feminine shirt. I’m reality it has coarse top stitching and tan buttons that give it a campy look. It’s going back.

The pictures fail to show the the ridiculously puffy sleeves on this shirt. Not quite Seinfeld puffy, but in the ballpark. Returning.

It’s not a white. It’s off white and the stitching is brown. It’s not long it’s kind of short but it’s really wide. It’s just looks off. Very boxy and not cuter at least on my frame. I’m 5’3 and 110lbs. I tried the x small and small just to see if I could work with it. I can’t. Not for the price.

The white is more a cream and the details/ embroidery make this shirt way less casual than I was hoping for. There are better white shirt options out there - I would recommend madewell or ASOS.
