Big Dart is a small business that specializes in fashion-forward button-down shirts.
Promising review: "I am randomly and surprisingly obsessed with this shirt! I didn’t expect it to fit or feel good because it’s from Amazon. But this shirt is truly fantastic. The oversized style is just right, so even if you buy your size, you’re not swimming in it. The fabric is very lightweight with a crisp hand but still feels great on your skin. And it’s also not see-through like most white shirts. It’s a great shirt on its own or as a light coverup. Can’t recommend it enough. I love it so much I just bought the brown version!" —Amanda

Promising review: "This top is soooo cute! The top where the shoulders are elastic are so they're stretchy and will stay wherever you place them. The wrap tie is super great as well. It's a lightweight material but it's not see-through at all. I wore with a strapless bra but you can easily do without a bra." —Lizette A.

I live in Texas near the Gulf and it’s summer — really humid and really hot. I walk 3–4 miles outside most days and I’d been wishing for a hat that allowed for a high ponytail so I could keep my hair off my neck to not get as hot/sweaty. Decided to google it and found this and was thrilled! The X straps are easy to adjust and it fits great and is breathable. And it’s super cute!" —mlp06h
