Buy it!
This is an item that stands out to me - it’s tough to find quality clothing on Amazon, it’s always a risk. This exceeded my expectations, I think it’s worth the price (but it’s on sale right now, go buy!) It’s an Amazon 5 stars because it deserves to stand out among the sea of cheap & poorly-made clothing, but in reality more like 4 stars.
NOTE: the tag does say dry-clean only (which I didn’t notice until after multiple washes, lol). I saw people talked about shrinkage, but simply wash in nothing hotter than lukewarm water, and hang dry ONLY, and you won’t have a problem. So far, I don’t have any shrinkage issues.
Likes
- fits & hangs very nicely. I have a very large bust (32J), so it’s difficult for me to find fitted tops that work for me, and even more unusual to find a top/pant set that both fit. Wide hips also mean sometimes loose/flowy pants don’t hang right on my frame. It’s a unicorn, honestly.
- the material feels nice, like a nice textured linen. It doesn’t feel cheap.l and is comfortable to wear.
- the stitching is holding up so far, no loose threads.
- the versatility - I wear the pants with other shirts and vice versa, or even mix/match colors of different sets.
- the waistband looks fitted in the front, which makes it look more expensive in my opinion.
- the buttons down the back - they’re not functional, so there’s no pulling apart at the closures when you move. They also look nice.
Dislikes:
- I just listed this in the likes, but - I wish the fitted portion in the front waistline were just a little shorter (meaning I wish the elastic portion of the waist were longer), or even that there could be a button, though I acknowledge that would probably mean raising the price. I have wide hips and would probably fit better into a medium, but I can barley get the large over my hips. That said, this is probably just fine for many other body types.
- speaking of a medium potentially fitting better, it would be great to have the option to mix and match sizes for those of us whose body types necessitate it. For me, a large top and medium bottom would probably fit best (I would try to squeeze it over my hips if I had the option).
All that said - I bought it in black, wore it & loved it, and bought khaki. Same quality, same feel of material. I was debating buying another, then saw they’re on sale so I just bought the brick red and the gray-green. I’ll update this review when I get them to talk about the consistency between colors.
