Beyond the Books: Cleo Madison Shirt Review
4:57 PM
Although I review mostly books, I actually receive a fair amount of requests from retailers offering up products to try. I decline most of them, but when it comes to clothes, well ... I have a hard time resisting! So, when Liz—the owner of Cleo Madison, an online boutique specializing in modest clothing—offered to let me try an item from her store in exchange for a review, I jumped at the chance.
As you've probably discerned already, I chose the Betty Floral Baseball Tee pictured above (shown on a model, who's about 1000% more photogenic than I am). I'm plus-sized, so I got an x-large, which fit just right—not too tight, not too loose. The length, especially, is perfect. I love the grey t-shirt fabric that makes up the sleeves and back of the shirt. It's soft, stretchy, and super comfy. I'm not as wild about the floral panel in front. It's fairly sheer (I wear a cami underneath because I'm self-conscious like that) and the material is a little scratchy. It has a tendency to bunch around the chest area, so I find myself tugging it down a lot. Irritating, but not a huge, huge deal. Overall, I like this shirt because of the soft t-shirt fabric (love it!), the fun print (a nice change from my usual plain Jane tops), and the length (perfect). Despite a few annoying details, it's a piece I enjoy wearing.
Owner Liz Morgan created her shop in an effort to provide women with a convenient place to find clothes that are modest, conservative and trendy. Cleo Madison definitely delivers. While the Betty Floral Baseball Tee is unfortunately sold out, the store still has plenty of tops, dresses/skirts, shoes, and swimwear from which to choose. The prices are reasonable, shipping is free in the U.S., products arrive quickly—what's not to love? Be sure to check Cleo Madison out on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and its website. For fun posts on fashion, food, travel, modesty, etc., don't miss Liz's blog.
To the FCC, with love: I received a free product in exchange for an honest review. Many thanks to Liz at Cleo Madison for her generosity!

That is a really cute shirt!
ReplyDeleteCute shirt. How fun to see a review of something so completely different. I'm a bit confused as to why the boutique specializes in modest clothes but the front is sheer? I don't mind but I like clothes i don't have to wear in layers. Especially in the summer.
ReplyDeleteIt's not sheer ... exactly. It's a very light material, though, so I could see more underwear lines through it than I wanted to, if that makes sense. I'm pretty anal when it comes to that, though :) The shirt is modest, in my opinion, I personally just feel most comfortable wearing a cami underneath. Comfortable in a modesty way, I mean -- wearing layers during the summertime in Arizona is NEVER comfortable :)
DeleteThat shirt is very cute. I'll have to check them out and see if they have my size.
