Write a reviewBrought to go with the green version of the Zoe skirt as it was in the sale. It was a lovely match for the skirt, a very good fit and didn't show any bra straps to spoil the lines of the top. An excellent buy for the price. I'm considering other colours, at this price it would be rude not to!
I have an older version of the classic V in cream, size medium, and love it. I have just received the Papaya and Chinese blue and love the colours. Unfortunately, the medium of this version is larger on me and the material feels less substantial, as others have said. I’m undecided as to whether to keep them. (The small has sold out in the blue). Disappointing.
I didn't have high hopes for this top after reading the reviews, but I decided to size down to small (from my usual medium) - and oh my goodness, it is a perfect fit on me. It skims without clinging, and the shorter length is much more flattering on me than the longer length of the Hettas and silkies (I am short waisted, but with a long torso). I would describe it as "elevated" - it is certainly smart enough to wear on its own, but also surprisingly warm as an underlayer. The slate colour is beautiful in this fabric, which has a slight sheen. I liked it so much I've just ordered it in icicle and laguna.
I love the colour, but find the fit on the new v’s to be not as good as on the essential v. The medium seemed to fit fine on receiving but after a day is pretty wrinkled and bagging, especially at the back. I don’t like things super clingy and usually take a medium in anything semi fitted, but perhaps should have sized down. I don’t find it to be nearly as flattering as older model which is a pity as there are some lovely colours.
I loved the colour Crushed Berry; it was just the colour I wanted. However , I returned the top as I found it too big despite being the size, medium, I'm a size 12, 5'2", that I have bought in other tops. The V gaped on me and I found it longer than I like as well. A shame because it is a lovely colour. Very disappointed it is not available in another top with sleeves.
I’ve found the material rather flimsy and see-through. On my small frame, size eight, the garment is a bit baggy and long in the body. I would have sent it back but I needed it in a hurry. It looks very unstylish on me.

Love the fabric and fit. Although, I felt like they run a bit short. Hard to keep tucked in. Next time would size up to a medium to see if it has a bit more length.
I like the new version of the Classic T - it's light and smooth and easy to wear. The amount of stretch is about right (my top favourite is the Semi Scoop 3/4 sleeve with 6% elastane) and I prefer them both to the Hetta fabric which grows! I really wanted to praise the new pale colours - Lemon Sorbet is refreshing and Pale Dove Grey is an excellent Winter neutral with no beige leanings. It looks good with much of my palette and doesn't dull me (very important for a BJW!)
Fabulous colour and fit. I low the 3/4 length sleeve.
