Thanks to some Renz ions here, I have the same blouse ordered one size larger and do not regret this decision. I am built large and quite firmly. My normal clothing size is 44. The blouse in size 46 fits! Good quality cotton, clear colors (Turquoise / White). After the first wash the blouse was a minimally, but this is normal based on the cotton fabric. The colors have been preserved. The blouse is ideal for country life and its events. A very nice addition in your wardrobe.
