The verdict
Fit
Poet blouses typically feature gathered sleeves and romantic details. Alix of Bohemia is a designer collaboration, suggesting tailored fit; model sizing (5'9") indicates contemporary proportions.

Care
Designer woven blouses often require hand wash or delicate cycle; check care tags for specific guidance.
What owners report about MOTHER tops
Third-party coverage of MOTHER's tops is thin next to its denim, but what exists is consistent: style bloggers who own several of the tees rank the graphic tees among the best they've tried, and retailer customers describe the shirts as comfortable, well made, and true to the photos. The recurring gripe is price — owners on retailer sites call the tees overpriced for what they are, and bloggers say they only buy the line on sale. Nobody reports durability failures; the complaints are about value, not construction.
- Strengths
- Owners report comfortable fabric and a fit that works straight out of the bag, with graphic tees strong enough that one denim-focused blog ranks the brand in its top two for the style.
- Watch out for
- Price is the complaint that repeats — 'overpriced' and 'a steep price point for a graphic tee' — so experienced buyers wait for markdowns.
- Sizing
- Retailer reviewers report their usual size fitting well in the core tees — one 5'2", 116 lb reviewer took a small and called the fit good.
