Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am new to Patty and went on a bit of a shopping spree last week when I saw all the great tops for winter!! This was one of them. For your reference with regard to my photos, here are my 'stats': 34 y/o 5'7" 135lbs 34A bra size (I know, I know...) I normally wear small or medium for my blouse size (more medium than small). In terms of my body shape, have broad shoulders, a long torso, longish lean arms, an hour glass waist but disproportionately large hips and booty booty. While I certainly can't see my abs, my stomach is probably a little flatter than the average woman's but I do have some love (hate) handles. OK, now that all of that fun stuff is out of the way, here's my review of this top. It arrived on time, and packaged very nicely! The color matched the pictures online which I always really appreciate. For the most part I was really pleased with the fit! Usually when I buy a top in size medium, it isn't quite as form fitting as this is. That's not a problem, it's just not the norm for me. Having tried on a handful of Patty tops now I can say confidently that I would feel uncomfortable in a small (in spite of my Dixie cup bra size). Be prepared that these tops/sweaters are really going to fit your form in whatever your normal size is. For that reason, I highly recommend ordering up a size if you're in doubt, unless of course you are built like the model (congratulations!), enjoy outlining your muffin top for all to see, or are planning to use major cleavage to distract eyes from looking at your midsection. Unfortunately I don't have cleavage. Even if I did, I'm more modest by nature, so I wear most Patty tops with a cami. That isn't entirely necessary with this top though as it isn't quite as "sexy" as some of the others I've tried. I really love this blouse! It's stylish and classy but also cute and feminine because of the fit. It could definitely be worn to the office or for date night. The fabric is soft and feels quality. The sleeves and torso are luxuriously long!! I can't tell you how refreshing it is to buy a sweater/top that is long enough for me in both the arms AND torso with length to spare!! Shorter women with shorter arms may struggle with all of these Patty tops just because they're so long. You may end up needing to fold or hem. To sum up, I love the look and style of this sweater and think it would look good on and flatter a great many body types and bust sizes! One thing to note about it though is that if you're flat chested like me, you may have to break our your "special" bra with this top to fill it out. :) I'm so happy to have found Patty Boutik! I LOVE the style and the quality and I can't wait to wear my new fall/winter wardrobe! Hopefully this is helpful for someone else. If it is, check out my reviews for several other PB garments!
