Promising review: "I fell in love with this jersey. It is so silky — there is no friction when worn layered. I bought one to see if I would like it and and today I ordered eight more. Check out the prices! For me, I bought them mainly to wear this winter with something cozy over them. In the past I have spent up to $50 on jerseys not even this soft. These are well-made." —Cheyenne

I’m a sucker for anything with pockets and I was pleasantly surprised that the pockets were deep enough for me to fit my whole hand into.

Promising review: "Great tunic! I typically wear a 1X / 2X in tops and I purchased this in a 2X. I was pleasantly surprised that it ran a bit larger than I had expected — but after a cool wash cycle and hang dry, I am really diggin' my new shirt. Great to wear with jeans, but not too long that it feels like a dress. Just discovered today after wearing it twice that it has pockets built into the side seams. Bonus!! VERY HAPPY with this purchase!" —Flower0813
