This is a nice classic button down top. I sized up and it fit perfect. I wore it out to meet co-workers for dinner and it was very comfortable. I would recommend this top if you are looking for something casual and comfortable.

Not crazy about the fabric…clingy
I ordered this shirt in my normal size, XS. After trying it on, I realized that I should have ordered a small. It runs small, particularly, in the chest. For reference, I am 5’2” and 116 pounds. I would best describe the material as somewhat similar to a microfiber sheet, in that it is very stretchy. If you like your tops snug, this clinginess of the material probably would not bother you. I like to have a little more room in my tops. Also, the placement of the pockets is somewhat odd. They sit on top of your chest. They appear to be too high on the shirt. This might be a result of this shirt being too small. The olive/army green color is very nice. The material is lightweight and comfortable. If you like to wear a button up under a cardigan, this would work well since it does not have any bulk. The shirt also works well with jeans. I would definitely classify it as casual.
Comfy casual button down top
I love the the soft feel of this top. I’m 5’1 and I ordered a petite small and it fits perfectly. The pockets on the chest are on the smaller side which looks good. It’s lightweight and the color looks good with gray, black and dark blue jeans. It’s a slate blue color which I feel can be worn all year round. Very versatile top!

Soft but less flattering to a slender person
A classic shirt of soft knit but not enough body. I got the carnation color, which was a flattering medium/light rose in a petite large. The fit was good - sleeves not too long, the length mid-hip and the fit a-line so it was not tight across the waist or hips. I did wash the shirt according to the instructions and found that it came out of the dryer with no wrinkles. But, while the knit fabric was not see-through, it was lightweight so there was very little body to it. The result - while I liked that the shirt had double front pockets, those pockets didn't have any facing or lining so they sagged badly and were not flattering at all. In fairness, I am not busty, so perhaps a more well-endowed person wouldn't have my problem. I would wear this blouse but only with a vest or jacket over it to conceal the saggy pockets.
Sleeves are too long, but the tighter cuff helps
It's nice and soft and is true to size.... except that the sleeves are too long. The button on the cuff makes it tight enough that it won't place the sleeves below your wrists, but because there's so much extra material, it bunches up on the arms. It also looks a little weird because there's a split above the cuff, so the skin on the arms show through in that spot due to the bunching. So it's probably best when the shirt more closely matches your skin color so that it doesn't stand out. I dislike having to roll up sleeves because designers often seem to forget that they also need to shorten the sleeves on their petite clothing. This seems to be a widespread problem, and I've read many reviews on petite tops and jackets where customers say the same thing.
