The Cinched medallions blouse by Floreat runs slightly big imo. I tried on the 2, which is the size I always wear in Anthro blouses and it was too big in the chest and upper waist. You can’t tell very well how much the fit is off in my pic because my arm is pulling the fabric up but it was just a bit too roomy.
The fabric is a soft breezy cotton voile in pale blue grey. The blouse is a little sheer around the waist but not in the chest because of the pleating. The ivory embroidery on the sides of the blouse is beautiful and the black banding gives nice waist definition.
This top has been on my wishlist for awhile now and I was very pleased with it irl. Unfortunately they did not have my size in the store. I will definitely be keeping an eye on it online
Oh that is so pretty! I really love it on you, but agree that you could go down a size. That's a great top to dress up with a bold black necklace!
Eek! What a pretty top! *makes grabby hands*
And I think I now have something to add to my wishlist now, too. Thanks for the review!
This blouse is so pretty! I love it!
It's these types of tops with the unexpected detailing that keep me interested in Anthro. I tend to buy mostly tops from them. This one is perfection, and it looks lovely on you. Sizing down will make it ever better!
I've been eyeing that blouse – thanks for the review! I've noticed a lot of their blouses running big lately – the one I'm wearing today (i put a pic on my blog) was the same way and I had to buy a 0. Looks great on you.
Thanks for your thoughts on the blouse ladies! I am really tempted to order it up tonight. Especially after being underwhelmed with the new JC items..
Kim-Love your ootd! I added you to my blog roll
I bought this blouse a few weeks ago and I adore it. I actually had to size up on it though, I have a long torso and I had to buy a size 6 instead of my usual 4 because it was a little too short on me.
Oh love this! It has such an Art Deco feel to it with the colors chosen and the design. So pretty!

This top is really beautiful!
Looks great on you!
I saw where you posted about the Anthro Walk-A-Ways dress a while ago and wanted to let you know about a great alternative I found at gojane.com. It went out of stock but appeared again yesterday so I snatched it up in the green! It looks like it might be more crisp and clean than the Anthro version, and it is much cheaper!!!

Thanks for the tip Laura!
That top is just lovely on you!! Perfect cut & color.
I love that top, but since I never found it in my local Anthro store, I'm still not sure about the sizing.
Would you mind sharing the chest measurements on this blouse for size 2? Thanks!!!
