Pros: design lace functionality
"I love this top, it hit at the waist, im between 5'8 and 5'9. The lace is gorgeous, and it definetly does not look like cheap material as some of the other reviewers said. It has a silk lining- I just love it! I would n't have paid 300 but for 150 it's worth it. Plus, it's versatile, it can be used as a topper for a strapless dress!"

"Although I am a lover of nearly all things Anthro, I could very easily make this "blouse" from a vintage tablecloth and doilies for the flowers! I've made dresses from vintage curtains and table linens before a la Scarlett O'Hara! LOL
But seriously, this is insulting to offer this "made in China" poly-lace at $$$$! And I thought Anthro loved me back!"

"I love the look of this laced blouse, but the quality is not worth $298. I would pay that much for a top if it was worth it, and usually Leifsdottir is exquisite and totally worth the pricetag. But not this one -- the lace feels and looks cheap. I would not pay more than $70-80 for this."

"I can't believe the quality of this brand. is the economy going that bad. for this $300 vest/blouse, the material and look is so cheap. looks like forever 21. what's going on.... usually this brand doesn't disappoint, but its going downhill. this brand just hikes up the price 3x w/ no superior quality or reason too, also MOST of Leif.. is made in CHINA. I do not recommend this top, only if it goes on sale for $79.95 at most."

Pros: looks exactly like picture
Cons: not worth $298 imho
"This is a beautiful top; this is true. I have been waiting for it since September and it finally arrived today. Maybe my anticipaion simply outstripped realistic expectations but I was expecting ...what? More. More of the exquisite tailoring and attention to detail we have come to expect (and deserve) from this maker who commands a reasonbly high price? More quality fabric than nylon,polyester and cotton?
It's a very pretty, er, blouse? More like a vest, but it felt cheap. Sort of like wearing a piece of a beautiful vintage tablecloth lined in nylon. It's difficult to tell, but I think it runs like most Leifsdottir tops which I find just a little on the small side ( but I am quite busty ).
Missing: on the past THREE Leifsdottir items I have bought; no tag of any kind. That's right, no tag or little envelope with buttons or, in this case, a hook and eye. What's worse. no little goose charms. What's up with that? Shape up you guys! We are savvy shoppers and we want our geese!
No goose charm, no extra hook and eye, $300 for part of a blouse. Did I hear someone say."Sucker!" ?"
