This top has an underlining which supports the embroidery work and lines the top of the blouse to my waist. It has short sleeves that are very snug on my upper arms and into my armpits. I sew, so will do some alterations to it myself since the rest of it fits well. It’s a beautiful blouse, but be aware that it fades quite a bit, even in cold water. If I had it to do over, I wouldn’t buy this blouse at this price.First of all I want to say thank you to the seller for emailing me with my measurements, they took the time to make sure the product was the right size for me plus the 2 blouses and the dress I got from them are beautiful, nice quality and fit perfectly.Happy with all the experience, I’m a amazon customer for quite a while and no seller had contacted me for any question. I will give them 10 stars if I could.This blouse was just what I hoped it would be. I purchased it for my mother. It is a cheerful and cool summer top. .A little shorter than I expected - but comfy and softVery nice but runs smallOrdered a small, and while the length was ok, the item would have fit a much wider person. Disappointed I can't wear it, but have a recipient in mind.The blouse fits great and it is well made. The embroidery looks to last and well done. I am happy with the product!Bought two and like them. Will use this coming summer.
