Loved it but it shrunk!
A beautiful top.. fabric is soft and it is well made. I washed it four times on delicate, cold water, and dried it on delicate, 10 minutes and hung it on a hanger. The last time I washed it, I let it finish the cycle and it had shrunk two inches in length and one inch in the sleeves! The donation store is getting a nice top!

Love the Breton top!
This top is so versatile! I can wear it with my cutoffs just knocking around or with white pants for a dressy look. Three quarter sleeves are key for me and the fabric is soft and lived in.

Excellent experience ordering for this company. Shirt is as pictured on the website and the sizing is perfect. Cannot wait for warmer days in order to wear it.
