I love the design so, so much. I'm not the biggest fan of super busy patterns, and had been hoping to see some button ups with simpler designs, so I was really excited when this collection was announced. I think they're really cute. I was a little nervous spending this much on one shirt, but I'm glad I did!
The linen is super comfortable and looks amazing. I love the embroidery, and the backing prevents it from being scratchy. It's just a really comfortable shirt.
I always straddle the line between medium and large sizes, so I went with the large to be safe. It's too big for me, which normally causes awkward wrinkles in button up shirts, but the fabric falls more naturally and it looks great.
I do have one problem with the size, which is that at 5'1 the large is much too long for me to be able to wear with even knee length shorts. This normally could be quickly fixed with tailoring, but there's gorgeous embroidery at the bottom, so I'm still working out how best to approach it. I do wish I could see how the medium would have fit, but I'm happy with what I ended up with.
The color is a little less purple in person, it's a bit darker/bluer. Not a big deal to me, but thought I'd mention it in case it's relevant to other buyers.
