Comments about Indian Lapis and Lavender Henna Shirt:
15-yr. old likes fabric design, as do I. Good fit for "small" 15-yr. old. Belly-button length probably inappropriate for high school, w/o some form of underwear, like white silk. Thermal white silk could also extend season "wearing" life into colder months.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Indian Lapis and Lavender Henna Shirt:
I ordered the black one and really love this shirt. My only complaint is the length. If it was 2 inches longer it would be perfect. As it is if you raise your arms, you are showing a bit of skin. I solved that problem by getting a 3 inch piece of stretch lace and sewing it on the bottom. It looks good and I can wear it for casual or dress. If the shirt was longer, I would have all three colors. National Geographic are you reading?
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Cheap fabric, unattractive fit

Comments about Indian Lapis and Lavender Henna Shirt:
Pros: This was a gift and the kind sentiment that came with it is well appreciated. Unfortunately I will be returning it.
Cons: This item is grossly over priced. It is a crew neck, crop top with elbow length sleeves. The fabric is thick and the nontraditional print is nauseatingly busy. The style and fit are unflattering. And, did I mention it is ridiculously over priced?
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
