Review on πŸ‘š IN'VOLAND Plus Size Polka Dot Ruffle Sleeve Chiffon Blouse Flowy Tops Shirt for Women - Loose Casually Stylish by Sean Huff

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good looking, but fabric is just not sturdy and started tearing up fast

This shirt is good looking for office or casual. However, the fabric is super cheap, and ripped when I caught it on some small thing. This is like where it can catch on a doorknob and just rip up. Also, I only wore it three times, and it's starting to get little pick spots in it where a thread sticks out. It's an good look excellent shirt the first time wearing it, but the fabric is just not good enough, and it won't hold up.The look: This looks good. It doesn't look cheap at all and looks fine for an office environment or for casual. The sleeves and drape are done well to where it looks nice.Size: I got size 20, based on I have a large bust and the shirt looks like it's supposed to fit baggy, so I sized up to make sure to not emphasize the bust. The fit is pretty flexible. I probably shouldn't have sized up, but I think there's a lot of flexibility because the outside is so baggy and flowy that it's unlikely to be tight even if purchased in true size. Also, the shirt is pretty long, like a tunic length, so won't ride up.Construction and style: This shirt is 2 layers. There is a solid color inner layer that is not see through. That material has some stretch to it. Then there is an outer gauzy layer with the polka dots on it. That layer don't have much stretch (just a tiny bit), but is also much much bigger. So, the inner layer is supposed to be the fitted shirt, and the outer layer gives the flowy style. Both layers are long enough to not have to worry about it riding up, and the flowy layer is shirt style and only really loose at the sleeves. It's great for looking good, but also being able to bend over and lift things, and basically be fairly active and look good the whole time.Fit: The shirt is long enough to not ride up. The neck hole is a bit too wide, and may show bra strap. I just tuck each side of the neck under my bra strap, but I would prefer a very slightly narrower neck hole. Other than that, fit and style is great.Fabric quality is too low: I was loving this shirt for the look. The fabric feels cheap, but I always think this about polyester, and I thought this before about shirts that have held up well. Welp, I think this one is just not adequate. I was unloading the dishwasher, and basically went to get cups out of the top rack and put them in the cabinet, and the edge of the shirt caught on the totally rounded and vinyl covered top rack of the dishwasher, and tore a hole. I want to emphasize that this was the little tug of actual pressure and pull that tore the fabric, rather than any sharp edge cutting it. Also, I wasn't walking past. I was just turning a little to put the cups away. I hardly felt any tug at all, but the shirt just tore. I've sewn it up, but now I am thinking that this is one of those fast fashion shirts, where I have to hit it with the sewing machine after each wear and it will be too worn out fast and just to the trash. I would rather something a little nicer that will last longer, even if it cost more.Overall, this looks nice, but I just don't think the fabric is sturdy enough. I think they cheaped out on the fabric, and this shirt won't get much wear before it shreds up. It's going the way already of some very cute clubbing shirts I've had that looked great but then needed a mending after each wear. I think it's not worth it.
