I was hesitant to buy this shirt since I typically wear dark colors (blacks, greys, navy). I ordered it and wasn’t sure on the size because I am bigger chested (36D). I gave it a try, and this is gorgeous! It fits beautifully, and has a bit of a slimming effect. It was confusing at first figuring out how to put it on, but it didn’t take long to figure out 😂. It’s very beautiful and can be versatile but definitely more chic and soft. The fit is perfect. I highly recommend this top.

I have no idea who this is supposed to fit
For reference, I am 5'5' and 120 lbs. I usually wear an XS to a S in most clothes when I want more room. I'd say my body proportions are pretty standard, I never really have a problem with sizing or fit when it comes to tops. I ordered the same version of this shirt in the long sleeve XS and it fit completely fine...however, this short-sleeve version was a sizing nightmare!
When I originally ordered size S, it fit fine on top but the shirt was long. I mean, INSANELY LONG. Keep in mind I am someone who has A LONG TORSO, so if a shirt is long on me, it's going to be a DRESS on someone with regular back length. There was so much extra fabric it looked bulky even when I tucked it in. I mean seriously, this shirt when down to my mid-thigh!
So because the XS in the long-sleeve Manhattan fit fine, I figured the same would apply here. I exchanged my shirt for a XS. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, it did. When I received the XS, I kid you not I could NOT fit this shirt over my shoulders. There is ZERO stretch and it was extremely narrow. I'm a small person. I don't understand what adult woman could fit in this shirt unless she is extremely narrow.
When I finally got the XS on, it squeezed me so hard in the armpit area that it actually pinched the armpit fat and was extremely unflattered on the sleeved side. It was like a shirt made to show off armpit fat. Once again, I'm a very thin person. Never has a shirt made me feel big or like I needed to loose weight...until now!
That being said, the long sleeve version fit fine. So I'm not sure what's going on here with the sizing. The S fit shoulders but was extremely long, and the XS could not go over my shoulders but was the proper length.
Unless you are a really narrow person or plan on getting a larger size and tailoring it, I would not order.
Also the white was sheer.

Pretty, but uncomfortable
I loved this shirt so much online, but when I got it, I realized how uncomfortable it is pulling against my neck. It actually gives me a headache. Such a pretty top for someone who can have the fabric bunched at the neck

Amazing!
I don’t wear white but ever since I discovered Marcella, I felt it was worth a try. At first it was confusing getting the shirt on, but once I figured it out, I LOVED it. It’s soft & comfy and flattering and I’m big chested (38D) so I usually have to get a large size and it fits perfectly.

not as pictured
This looks so cute online but when I tried it on, the cut is really awkward. It’s also a lot longer than I thought.

Doesnt fit as good as the picture
I wanted to like this top so much but I'm returning. The part that wraps up around your neck is made symmetrical and centered so all the material bunches next to your neck which is a bit uncomfortable. I would be ok with that for the look, however the material doesn't lay flat against your skin by your shoulder. It gaps. So its not very flattering from that side. The other little cap sleeve is fine. I think if something is made to be asymmetrical then it should be cut asymmetrical somewhat, so that it lays properly when you wear it. It can still bunch but the side that doesn't bunch needs to be tighter or cut different so it doesnt gap. Im 5'5, 116 lbs, b cup. Maybe larger chest gals will have better luck.
