Hunter Plaid Shirt

As much as I would love ignore the fact that these shirts are 100% rayon and very poorly made but oh so stinking adorable, at 148 dollars a pop I just can't. They loose their shape, pill, and shrink. It reminds me of something you would get from a store such as Forever 21 or the Juniors department at Target. It they were priced accordingly I may consider keeping these shirts, but personally I prefer quality over quantity.

This shirt is really cute (I got the carbon black, which is a charcoal on black plaid) and I like that it is flowy and feminine. It's not boxy and it's a tad bit smaller than my other Rails blouses. I ended up sizing up so I had more room in the shoulders. It's a bit pricey, but I figured I was paying for the style and the cut and it was a top I could wear a lot. Nope. The first time I washed it (hand washed, flat dry) there were dozens of little strings that came loose all along the hem and sleeve cuffs. They weren't stitches, but rather just ragged ends of the actual fabric that came through and started falling out. I cut them and they didn't cause any holes or tears, so that was good. But the first time I wore it, it started pilling up from the seatbelt in my car!!! I've had garments pill with suede handbags or years of use but I've never had that happen before. It looked really awful. What a disappointment! This top gets two stars for the style aspect but I can't really recommend it (at least the color combination I purchased since all fabrics are slightly different) in good faith.
