Just what I wanted
The carded cotton is absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted. You can feel the quality. I've been looking for a striped long sleeve shirt to replace one I took from my boyfriend a few years back, but have come up short a number of times. The Meridame II has the perfect weight and I really like the fit. I ordered the size 6 initially and returned it for the size 8 because I wanted a more relaxed fit and have broader shoulders. For reference: 5'3"/ 118 lb/ 30D. Will definitely be purchasing another color.

Very happy
I love all your products!!!

Always great.
Love these shirts.
