Sizing & Fit

I'm not sure if I'm the only one but I never know what garment size to buy from Joules.
I've gone up a size for this item.

Finer Details

Joules' quirky detailing really does it for me. The cord pocket and collar trims are a mustard yellow colour which accentuates this stylish waistcoat. I adore the toad green colour and love the fact it can be matched with their other toad green tweed clothing items.

The velvet collar underside is similar to that of Sporting Hares (read more here) Beauchamp blazer.
Check out those cute brass coloured heritage buttons!


The half belt on the back of the waistcoat is one of my favourite aspects which is also trimmed with buttons.

Sizing & Fit

I would personally size down.

True to the description it is loose fit. I went for the size 6 and there is plenty of room. Especially around the midriff area and bust, making it really comfortable. It doesn't hug you too tight in those awkward places. The gorgeous Stylish in the Country advised me to size down and I am glad I did.

If you prefer a tighter fit you could wear the shirt tucked in like I have.

I like to wear mine with the sleeves rolled up giving it a casual feel.

This shirt looks equally good with jeans due to the curved hem or tucked into a tweed skirt and a Barbour thrown over the top. A tweed waistcoat would look gorgeous with this shirt! (Adding to wishlist...)


Material

100% cotton

It is lightweight and really comfortable. Infact, it is the most comfortable shirt I own.

There are just plain white 6 buttons down the front. Giving it it's 'pop-over' title. Pop it over your head and off you go.

Theres a pocket on the chest and it features the statement Joules bunny near the bottom of the shirt and there is contrast piping on the underside of the sleeves.

I do not wear a vest/cami underneath my Charlotte shirt because I don't feel I need to but there is enough room to wear one and still have enough room to move. It is lightweight but I would not say it is see-through like a blouse. I did see a review where someone said they were disappointed the shirt was see-through but I have to say I do not agree. You should hopefully be able to see this from the photographs.

The only downside is it creases quite easily.

The Print

Pheasants galore!

If you're a fan of countrywear or just a pheasant lover this shirt is perfect for you.

The print is really cute. The design has a hand painted watercolour style feel to it. The tones are quite muted in burgundy, teal and brown. The print is quite small but I think this is perfect for countrystyle.

There are a selection of flying pheasants, standing pheasants and running pheasants. There is just one stalking fox design. The pattern doesn't have a specific uniform as some of the foxes and pheasants are upside down; quirky, I like it.

Joules, if you're listening please bring out more hand drawn prints! We love them!

Charlotte x

Charlotte, the feminine form of Charles, has a long royal pedigree and became popular in the 18th Century when it was the name of George III's queen.

The King bought Buckingham House in 1761 for his wife Queen Charlotte to use as a family home close to St James's Palace - it became known as the Queen's House and is now Buckingham Palace.

Charles is the name of two former kings and of the Prince of Wales, the princess's grandfather.

Charlotte also has more recent connections for the royal couple.

On the duchess's side, it is the middle name of her sister Pippa Middleton and on the duke's it is the name of his cousin Charlotte Spencer, Earl Spencer's youngest daughter.

The earl tweeted: "Perfect names. My 2-year old Charlotte Diana will be thrilled at cousinly name-sharing."

According to figures from the Office for National Statistics, Charlotte is the 21st most popular girl's name in England and Wales with 2,242 babies being given it in 2013.
