I actually really like it, so depending on where it hits the bow shoulder top may work for me. I was trying on my black patio pants and one thing I don't love about them is how they lay on my hips,but with this shirt just barely tucked they look pretty good. Since the bow is black it may look good together too.

I love it, it's comfortable and it's the perfect summer dress for my casual yet conservative office. <br /><br />I found it true to size. The waist hits me slightly high, but I have a large bust (DD) and a long torso. I found it room through the bodice unlike some other recent JCrew dresses. Ladies with a smaller bust can likely size down 1 size. <br /><br />Initially I didn't know if I would like the handkerchief hem, but it's even more subtle than the on-line photo. Honestly, I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't in the description. <br /><br />I like this dress so much that I stalked and just scored the linen shirtdress, which is the same cut. I highly recommend, I believe this will be summer workhorse for me.

Too bad because I really wanted it. <br />@Suz Has- if I recall correctly I think the bow shoulder top flares out more than the eyelet top with collar. I know it depends on shape but the bow shoulder top was very tent like especially in the back around my hip area. I'm usually a 0 in tops like that but they only had 00 to try. 00 fit fine up top (I'm small chested) but still too big around hips. janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257918991247030517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-66933741792047404222016-05-31T17:43:36.461-04:002016-05-31T17:43:36.461-04:00I received the cool-dyed linen pocket sweater.

It's a beautiful sweater, perfect for casual Friday's with a denim skirt. The pink is a bit sheer so it will require a cami. I don't mind though.
