I liked the idea of the two layers in one look. However, the collar is high and touches my face. I am 5'6 and don't usually have this problem. The white shirt part does not stretch ( the rest does) so if your planning on hiding your bust you can't, it will create gaps between the buttons. It has to remain unbuttoned to the vest and becomes quite revealing. Also the vest buttons aren't cute, silvery outside with shiny black center on the navy vest. If I kept it the buttons would be replaced with something worth commenting on. It's not the same design and cuteness standard as the many other Patty items I own and the only one I plan to return. I hope they fix it so I can add it to my collection of their normally flattering clothes.
