This product is Evadear Certified

Personally worn, tested, and assessed for the needs of tall women between 5'8ft and 5'11ft. I look at fit, comfort and value for money, and go through the hassle of returns so you don't have to. If it's here, it's passed the test.

This review is based on the product after it has been washed.

My verdict:

It's the little details that make this top! I love the fabric-covered buttons, super soft lining and how nicely it hugs my waist. It looks just as good tucked in as it does worn out.

Important note:

This top runs VERY small! I'm between AU 8–10 and the size 8 is tight under my arms, and the buttons constantly pop open. I really wish I'd bought a size 10 or 12!

Fit & Sizing:

  • Long enough? Yes! The 13-inch / 33 cm length from underarm to hem fits my longer torso nicely at 5'10", even in a size that's too small.

  • How does it fit? Very fitted through the waist and underarms, with a medium mount of stretch.

  • Measure between sizes? Definitely size up! I'd go up one size for a fitted look, or two for a little more room.

  • You are a true match to the Princess Polly size guide: I'd still size up once for a fitted look, or twice for something slightly looser.

Fabric & Comfort:

  • Stretchy? Yes — 95% polyester, 5% elastane.

  • Feel: Textured knit on the outside with a lovely smooth lining.

  • All day comfort? I think so in the right size! My size 8 is tight under the arms and the buttons keep popping open, but with a little more breathing room, I think it'd be super comfy all day.

Care & Practical Details:

  • Creasing: Hardly any! The textured knit helps hide any creases.

  • Washing: Max. 30°C, using 600 rpm spin.

  • Drying: Avoid tumble-drying

  • Ironing: Always inside out at a low temperature.

  • See through? No. The fabric is quite opaque, so most bra colours should be fine underneath this button up.

  • Closure: Buttons down the front.

Shipping & Returns:

  • Shipping: $7.95 AUD express only, and free on orders over $60

  • Returns: 30-day return window. $6.95 AUD deducted from refunds using their return label. Free returns for exchanges or gift cards.
