"Simple Elegant Finish Elevates Basic Attire"
This lovely jacket is lightweight enough to wear in warm weather when I want to add polish to my casual attire. Many times the XL sizes are still to small with other designers in Novica, but this article was carefully crafted to provide the right balance of loose and comfortable with nice tailoring. I love the color combinations and patterns that provide just the right amount of interest without going overboard. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

"Absolutely Beautiful"
Wonderful fabric design. The photo does not do justice to the rich warm colors. Lightweight fabric, perfect to wear out for a casual evening, or to an elegant event.

"Sooo unhappy"
I love the fabric and the design, but the sizing is absolutely terrible. Per other reviews I had hoped the design flaw had been corrected but no. I tried sending an offline email expressing my extreme disappointment in purchasing a $100 item that I cannot use, yet I received no response whatsoever. I am not a seven foot Amazon woman, you ve been told multiple times the sizing is wrong, yet you still haven t corrected my order nor the product for other buyers, completely unacceptable. How I spend my money is important and I expect quality. Completely not recommended, and still expecting recompense.

"Too loud and bold of pattern for us"
This shirt was too loud and busy in pattern and not as subtle as in photo.Also it was larger in size than we anticipated. We bought it for a trip to Spain, but didnt use it. It was too late to return it when we got back.
Best Uses
- Beach wear???

"Wonderful Comfortable Robe"
I am impressed with this robe ... the fit, the fabric, the design ... love it. I was worried about the fit. having been to Bali numerous times I have seen how qualitative sizes sizes can be difficult to choose. My last 2 kimonos I bought in Bali were too small at size 2X. No, I am not 200 cm tall and 130 kilos, just an average american guy at 178 cm and 90 kilos. This robe is great, the workmanship is top notch - it even has pockets and a nice batik belt. Looking forward to my next one. So, all I can say is, terima kasih banyak. Aku suka sekali yang aku beli dari Ms Raitawati. Boleh minta lagi seperti ini? Sayangnya aku tidak bisa kembali ke Bali sekarang dan pilih sendiri.
