Hand wash., February 27, 2010
By: shirboni

"I purchased a white one a couple of years ago and got many compliments on it. When a label says "hand wash" I usually wash in the machine on the gentle cycle. When I washed this one in the machine it frayed so much I had to use the scissors and trim all the edges. I finally had to get rid of it but did not return it as I did not follow the instructions.
I liked the top so much that this time I purchased it in two colors and now I wash them by hand and they still look good.
I would recommend this but caution to hand wash."

Very Pretty on, October 9, 2009
By: MrsKiss from Fort Lauderdale, Florida

"I had seen this item for awhile and finally purchased it when I was visitng Chicago, Had never been to a Orvis Store.- Loved the Store.
Lace trim is beautiful, but when I washed the item for the first time the button holes started to come undone, took it to my alterations lady and she redid them. It's beautifu but take a look at the stitching to be sure you don't have a problem, this might have been the only one. But I love it and woudl buy another."

I love this blouse., August 22, 2009
By: nisedc from Sheffield Lake, Ohio

"It fits nicely and is comfortable and flattering. everyone comments on it. I bought it in white and ivory and would like it in black as well; I'm debating, since it is a little expensive. I just washed the white one for the first time and it seems to be okay."

Really Cute!, August 21, 2009
By: OhioGirl

"I love this blouse! I bought it in white at a sale last winter at our local Orvis store and couldn't wait to wear it in the summer. The only negative is that it is rather pricey - but is wonderful if you can get it on sale!"

Simply Wow!, August 9, 2009
By: AverageJane

"Very very soft, gorgeous drape and perfect length. I'm a little busty with broad shoulders and wide hips so it is tricky finding tops that flatter my figure without being clingy. I don't like anything touching my tummy, so I can relax and still look good. The cut of this presents a very feminine shape. It is not binding in anyway yet flatters the curves beautifully. I hate ironing so hang this up damp and smooth it out with my hands."

Wonderful blouse!, July 29, 2009
By: Scanner

"The blouse was even better than I expected! The feel of the fabric is great. The size ran a little larger as others have said so I bought accordingly and am very pleased. The style is so versatile and the compliments keep coming.
This was my first purchase from Orvis and it won't be my last!"

Not Happy, July 20, 2009
By: Sandy372 from Surrey

"Brought this because of all the good reviews but had nothing but trouble, first one of the button holes was not finished and I had to saw the corners, then a button fell off whilst I was wearing it for the first time, then the edge around the neck near the shoulder started to fray. Have several other tops and always been happy in the past in fact I have 3 blouses that are 6/7 years old and still look as good as new so was surprised when I had trouble with this last purchase."

Response from Orvis: By Orvis Customer Service Team, July 28, 2009
Response from Orvis Customer Service, July 23, 2009 Orvis apologized for these problems but feels that this experience was an aberration, especially in light of the many excellent reviews that have been received, plus the customer's own experience with other Orvis blouses. However, Orvis contacted the customer immediately and, naturally, offered an exchange or a refund.

Wonderful top!, July 13, 2009
By: Guinevere from NW PA

"I love the Lacy Sweetwater Tee. I wear it with shorts, skirts, pants, and jeans! Sometimes with pearls, and it always looks great!

I can't count the number of people who have commented on the tee. They all love it, too.

Great value. Hope it lasts forever."

Just lovely, July 7, 2009

"This blouse is so lovely. Very feminine looking and drapes so well. With the new skirts that are out this season, this blouse complements them beautifully. The fit is perfect. Bought all colors... Wish there were more blouses with this type of fit."

Most exquisite blouse on earth, June 5, 2009
By: BarbO

"I purchased this blouse in white and absolutely love it. It flows with your body, looks and feels so-o-o good. This is by far the best blouse I have ever purchased. And I just ordered it in black and ivory. I can't wait to get them. GORGEOUS AND EXTREMELY FEMININE!"

Oooh, you're going to love this..., May 25, 2009
By: PamelaM

"I ordered one in black. It's BEAUTIFUL. I'm an ''XL'', and it's often difficult to find something that looks "right" once I've tried it myself compared to how it looks in the catalog. This hangs and drapes wonderfully, is super-flattering and I am ordering one in white as well, right now!
This is something that will never lose it's style, is a wardrobe basic, feels as good as it looks and while a bit pricey, will certainly get worn a LOT. And since it's from Orvis, I've no doubt it will hold up well. Don't hesitate on this one."

Adds pazazz to tops or pants, May 24, 2009
By: Gidget from Lamar, AR

"This blouse gives you an "edge" you just don't get with a plain white blouse. Dresses up any slacks, skirts or shorts. You'll get noticed - trust me. Just beautiful."

I Love it but..., May 8, 2009
By: JuneLEO

"I thought it was a bit tight through the back shoulders, but my back might be larger than normal. I kept it, but would order the next size larger next time.

It is a perfect top for a skirt or shorts, so feminine, but not frilly."

Very versatile shirt!!, April 26, 2009
By: bzmom

"I ordered this blouse in both black and white and was I glad I did! It goes with just everything! The eyelet trim is very feminine without being distracting. I washed my white blouse today and it came out just like new. If I had one complaint it would be "why don't you have it in more colors!""

Best Purchase ever, April 11, 2009
By: lindamc from South Texas

"Thank you, Orvis, for bringing this top back this year. I wear it with everything and as everything...a blouse or short overshirt/jacket. Coolest and most comfortable blouse I have ever owned. Even in the south Texas coastal humidity this blouse is still cool!

Thank you"

Mixed Results with these blouses, December 29, 2008
By: BelleK from Pennsylvania

"First I bought this blouse in white and loved it. It was so nice that I bought another in coral. Really loved this one, the color is lovely, but......the edges of the lace frayed in several places when it was washed the first time. I trimmed off the frayed threads so I could wear it again, but I'm concerned that over all this blouse will not hold up well after a few more washings if this lace continues to fray out.
If it were a much less expensive blouse I wouldn't mind so much. Really wanted to get another one in black, but am waiting to see if perhaps the design changes a bit."

beautiful blouse, July 26, 2008
By: kiera

"I just received this blouse in coral and I love it. The fit is perfect and it is light and cool, feminine and very pretty. I've just come back to order it in black. If additional colors (besides white and ivory) ever become available I'll be the first one to order them."
