Equipment
Brett Shirt
Lovely shirt
This is a really lovely shirt. I got it in the lilac/lavender color and it's a very pretty color with white or beige. The sleeves were a bit long on me, but I'm used to that since I have shorter arms, so I just roll them up. Otherwise, the top was very TTS, but just keep in mind this is a more fitted top than most Equipment blouses, so it's not really oversized, just a good mix between relaxed and fitted. The silk is incredibly soft and has a washed, already aged feel to it that's justification for the price. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Nation LTD
Virginia Top
Not the Nation fabric I was expecting
I've bought a lot of Nation LTD items and they are usually very soft and drapey. And the photos here certainly look like it's the same kind of fabric. So I was surprised when it arrived that it felt kind of scratchy and stiff, as if it was either an entirely different fabric or it had some kind of film or wash on it.
The fit itself was as expected. I wouldn't say it's bigger than expected, because it's obviously supposed to be oversized and slouchy. The sleeve and hem length were as expected and the color (pink) was very pretty, kind of a nude mauve color.
I ended up returning it because I just didn't like the fabric, either the feel of it or the drape in the front. The cowl neck managed to be clingy and almost kind of stiff at the same time , but I wanted it to be soft and flowing like the photos.

Tucker
Yoke Blouse
A little short....
I love Tucker tops, but they can be on the short side. This one is no exception. When I measured it from shoulder seam to bottom hem in front it was only about 22 inches, a bit shorter than the description. It's not so short that it will expose the belly, but it's tough to tuck it in and I figured it was worth mentioning since I have a short torso - tall gals might have a problem with this top.
The good part is that the top itself is lovely, so feminine and cute without being sugary sweet. It has a great 70s feel to it and looks fantastic with flared jeans. The silk is very light, but you can't see through it which is nice, too.

Enza Costa
3/4 Cowl Top
Nope.
I should have listened to the other reviews that said it had a strange fit on the side. It really does have a weird little tuck of fabric that just has no place to go but outward (see picture.) It wasn't flattering at all and the fabric wasn't as high quality as I'd expect from this brand. Overall, it wasn't the worst fitting top, but it wasn't in any way flattering on me. The front drape was way too open and just looked like I was wearing a top that was way too big for me, add to that the strange angular pouf on the side and it had to go back.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

Vince
Cowl Neck Blouse
Very cute top
I got this in the white color they used to have, but I see now they just have this color. Frankly, I think either color is stunning and I really love this top. First, the fit is very TTS, even though it's supposed to be drapey and oversized. Sometimes tops can be so billowy they look unflattering, but I like that the shoulders and the arm holes are cut to size, so you don't get lost in this top. I have a larger bust and I find that I usually do need to wear a cami under this top so I don't accidentally flash someone. It isn't so much that it's THAT low cut, but rather that it's much more open of a neckline than it appears here, so there's a lot of movement as you walk around and it can easily fall over to one side and show too much. Otherwise, it's a fantastic top. It feels and looks just like silk even though it's polyester and it has a great 70s feel but with a modern ease to it that I love. I think it would work on most shapes and sizes.
