Customer photo review of Knox Cotton Silk Shirt in Dahlia Fields

Beautiful and well crafted blouse, fits true to size. I’m usually a size 10-12 (M) with other brand and size 3 was perfect for this top as there is no stretch. I could have size down to a size 2 but it would have been tight.

Customer photo review of Fleurine Embroidered Cotton Slub Shirt in Milk

Beautiful lightweight shirt. The cami has a second layer to cover the boobs, but it doesn't provide enough coverage for me, no dramas I'll just get a different camisole. Otherwise perfect. Photo of shirt is fresh out of the post, so the shirt hasn't been washed and ironed.

Customer photo review of Knox Cotton Silk Shirt in Dahlia Fields

I ADORE this print and colour palette. It goes well with my predominantly black wardrobe and can be dressed up and down. The fabric is to die for and as someone who doesn’t iron it’s a godsend!

Knox Cotton Silk Shirt in Dahlia Fields

Purchased this lovely soft black & floral blouse for a road trip . Haven’t worn it yet but it fits very nicely

Catalina Embroidered Cotton Silk Blouse in Black Flores

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, Adrienne! We're delighted to hear you love the soft black and floral print and that it fits beautifully. We hope it's perfect for your road trip!

Love this shirt. It's a beautiful design - both the material and the shape. It came quick and the packaging made it feel special.

Espada Cotton Silk Blouse in Mariposa Nero

Such a gorgeous feel and fit - really classy item. I was surprised it is so versatile. Looks beautiful with jeans or dressed up with tailored skirt or pant. Love the brand!

Marisol Tencel Twill Shirt in Torera Rosa

This was my first purchase from Once Was, even though I had previously browsed. I was very impressed with the quality of the material, the vibrancy of the colours and the prompt dispatch and delivery. Most of all though, as a larger sized person, I was really impressed with the accuracy of the fit measurements provided. I chose my usual size and it fits well. It's so comfortable.

Marisol Tencel Twill Shirt in Torera Rosa

Great fit, and looks so smart with jeans or slacks. I am sure I will love wearing this blouse as soon as the weather warms up a bit. The print is very pretty and the design is very flattering, being slim through the body. I can see this blouse being one of my go to pieces.

Knox Cotton Silk Shirt in Dahlia Fields

I love this blouse. It is very flattering and feminine in a mature kind of way. I didn’t know that it would come with its own camisole when I purchased it, but it fits so nicely underneath and is held in place by a couple of press studs, which is a thoughtful touch. I can’t wait to wear it!

Kinsley Crinkle Cotton Silk Lace Blouse in Milk

I think I might have been a size smaller in the pants . I have an old pair that I love and they are a size 3 but the new ones seem a bit bigger.

Astrid Cotton Silk Shirt in Country Tapestry

Love everything about this blouse. The design is ultra feminine and material comfortable. It looks wonderful with either jeans or dressier pants. A great addition to my wardrobe. Thanks

Kinlsey Crinkle Cotton Silk Lace Blouse in Milk

I adore this so much that I purchased two before they sold out! A beautiful & classic romantic style that I will be able to wear for years to come. As usual the fabric and detail is stunning.

Sevilla Cotton Silk Shirt in Onyx

Beautiful quality and such a classy shirt. Flattering design and sits perfectly. Order was shipped promptly and I’ll be a returning customer.

Astrid Cotton Silk Shirt in Country Tapestry

I love the fabric, the embroidery, the colour, the fit. Would love to know how to tie it at the front like the model. It doesn’t look as nice when I just tie it in a knot. Thank you for another beautiful addition to my wardrobe, OnceWas x
