    I ordered a 3x top based on the size chart measurements. It is WAY too large. With this particular shirt, I could’ve ordered 2 or 3 sizes smaller. I cannot wear it and will have to return it at MY cost, even though I ordered based on the size chart. Perhaps specific size charts are needed for clothes that don’t run true to the size chart. Disappointing.

    It would be great if the type of material would be mentioned in the description. Some of us have allergies to certain materials.

    I ordered two items, a pair of pants and a top. When the order came in, I only received the top. Although, I was charged for both. When I called to ask where the pants were, I was told they were sold out, but I was charged for them. Now, I can’t return the top, that I have no pants to match, or get my money back for pants I never got. They only offered me store credit! I’m very disappointed because I love their style of clothing, even though seems like everything is sold out.
