V-Neck Blouse

Rated 4 out of 5 on 6 Dec 2022

H and M has changed the fit and sizing of these blouses, so that they fit bigger and are much longer in front. The ones I bought last year are among my favourites, so I've been trying to buy more colours and at first couldn't figure out why the new ones looked awful and the old ones great. I used to be able to buy XXL for an oversized look (I'm L to XL), but now they hang almost to my knees. I finally compared the old and new and saw that the front had been lengthened by 2-3 inches (the front used to be shorter than the back, but no longer) and the shirt was bigger in general. This would be great if you have a large bust or tummy, but they are now unwearable for me. I also tried the XL, which used to be fairly fitted on me, but these are also longer and bigger than they used to be, so my days of buying these shirts are probably over. Too bad. They are gorgeous shirts with a great neckline, and I love the ones from last year.

After reading the reviews praising this type of shirt, I went out and brought a whole load of different colours. The brown one in particular is *chef's kiss*!!! The colour is sort of like a smooth chocolate colour and has really good shine. It's not too shiny that you will stand out but has enough shine making it look elegant. Pairing this with beige trousers I believe would be amazing or even with a houndstooth miniskirt with ankle boots and a beige overcoat would be the epitome of the start of autumn! The shirt is true to size and the length covers my bottom, there is really no fault with this!!

I've bought these blouses in several colours both for me and for daughters. They are a good wardrobe staple at a great price. The neckline is excellent, hitting at a nice level and sitting well. They fit true to size, but can also be worn oversized for a loose look and still look good (I"m XL). I have bought them both in my size (for a tailored look) and a size up (for a casual look) and like both. Negatives: they are rather shiny and suffer from static cling sometimes, so I find they work better in some colours more than others (love the dark greenish brown).

Nice blouse! It’s a “v neck” style but so is any blouse if you leave the first button open so not sure why they opted for less buttons, I might end up sewing an extra one on at the top. The white is a little see through, but manageable and I am glad it’s light and breathable rather than dense and crispy. Good for layering. I don’t think the it is supposed to be oversized like some other styles but it’s definitely not fitted, i sized down to small and very flowy still, probably could have gone down to xs but it is still comfortable

This review auto-labelled as "gray" but I actually bought "dark khaki green". Not happy with this colour! It looks richer/more saturated online than in person. The colour looks lighter and grayer in person, and because of the sheen, it's even more light and washes me out. I usually look good in this colour so I was super disappointed. Also bought this in black and the green one is more slippery and flowy. Size-wise, I'm usually an xs/s because of my shoulders; the xs fits great in this case.

While I have bought almost every colour of this shirt line, I had to return this one because whoever was making it, probably accidentally designed the V-neck for this blue version, about an inch too low, significantly lower than the other shirts I've bought of the same design, and it's not something I can wear, because it would expose too much of my chest/cleavage, and simply isn't flattering. I look forward to other colours that come out in the same line, without this manufacturing flaw.

Really pleased with this blouse! It fitted perfectly and the lycra content makes it very comfortable to wear! I wasn't sure about the colour when I first saw it online but when it went in the Black Friday sale I took a chance on it and I am glad I did ! The colour wasn't as bright as I feared, it has a slightly grey tinge to it ! It makes it look a bit more expensive somehow! Overall I am very pleased with it, especially as it is a bargain! Looking forward to wearing it in the spring!

H and M has changed their sizing so that these shirts are now bigger and several inches longer in front than they were last year (I compared them). I loved this pinkish beige, but the shirt is unwearable for me. I am between an L and XL, but used to buy these shirts larger for an oversized look. This may be a good change if you are busty or have a larger tum (I'm not thin), but for me they are almost down to my knees now and no longer something I can wear under a blazer.

The quality of this is very nice and it's definitely well made. I got this in a large because of the fact that I'm 5,9 and I'm quite tall and I have a hard time finding clothing that fits my torso and long noodle arms perfectly so I got this in a large and it fits me perfectly. however I shouldn't have to go up a size to get something to fit me like it's supposed to, so it's a three star for the fact that the sizing charts are all over the place and are inconsistent.

I have quite a few of these in different colors, they are stunning. True to size, washes well, fabric is comfortable. I’m a size small (4-6) but I tend to get these in XS because I prefer my shirts to fit more body skimming than loose. Shoulder is a tad bit snug when I size down to xs but i prefer that than a boxy torso look because I’m an inverted triangle body shape so I need body skimming tops or else my top half look ginormous compared to my skinny legs.
