Customers overwhelmingly praise this gauze shirt for its soft, lightweight, breathable fabric that keeps wearers cool in warm weather.

I returned this and another shirt of this style. The fabric is very soft, so much so, as to be sloppy. The buttons are placed so far apart that you would have to wear a shirt under

Sleeves too tight
Fit: A little small
I have two of these in different colors. I ordered the Dark Rose this time and the upper sleeves are much tighter. So much so that I had to return it. Loved the color though.

I love this shirt. But it's too roomy for me. I bought a medium and should have purchased a small. But the shirt is comfortable, cool and airy. Love it.

Nice-looking. Quite comfy. But fades and snags easily. If you roll up sleeves, they won’t stay put.
