4A little slice of Victoriana to warm your shoulders. Silk-cotton twill; acetate lining. Dry clean. Imported.

I was really pleased with the quality of this bolero, very feminine and pretty. It appears a bit lighter in person than in the picture (more white and less cream) and you should note that this piece runs rather large. I am normally about a 12 (mostly due to my chest and arms) and the Large was too big. The arm holes are really big and the shoulders were too generous. I've returned mine and will be getting a Medium instead.

This bolero looks and fits just as it is pictured on the website (I've posted a few of my own pictures to further demonstrate this). The color is slightly off-white, as I expected from the "buttercream" description. The fabric is light and soft but the bolero is well-structured, a nice balance.
I usually wear XS or S in shirts and tops and 0-2 in dresses and the XS fits me perfectly.

I'm a perfect size 6 according to bhldn's size chart and a size smal was much too big for me. The arm openings and cap sleeves are very generous, and fit quite loosely on me. I'm ordering an XS for a closer fit. FWIW, the size 6 gown was also too big around my waist/chest.
The bolero is very light and soft. The bows are lovely and plentiful as the comment before mine states! It would compliment a simple dress very nicely.

This little wrap is adorable! It fits well, is well-made, and the fabric is luscious. However, there are just too many bows for me (there's a large one in the back, and several on the front, and the trim is ruffled). It's very nice if you're wearing it with a simple gown; otherwise, it's just too much frill.
