Love these tops!
Love these long sleeved tops! Really soft, comfortable and easy to layer. As a tall person, I love how long it is too, but if you are shorter it can easily be worn with the hip band and fabric above more ruched, which also looks pretty cool. Can be layered with the plain short sleeved version of this type of top to make it a bit warmer in the cold or with a vest top, or both! I often put a red one short sleeved one underneath. Have a bit of a collection of these now, absolute stapes in my wardrobe.

Skull-berry: Amusing and comfy!
I have a few of these tops, as they are so soft, comfortable, but I have been looking out for some other long sleeve ones. I saw this print and had to have it, as I find the strawberry skulls very amusing. I also quite like that the print is a bit more spaced out than the cherry skull fabric. As a tall person, I love how long it is too, but if you are shorter it can easily be worn with the hip band and fabric above more ruched, which also looks pretty cool. Can be layered with the plain short sleeved version of this type of top to make it a bit warmer in the cold, a red one looks good.

Great fabric, but really small fit and unexpected shape
I wear a lot of swing dresses (Hell Bunny mostly), as they are a great shape for folks like me who have hips a couple of sizes larger than my waist. This is unfortunately more like a wiggle dress with a flared bottom. The fabric is a nice weight and I love the print (I have a t shirt in this print), but the sizing is really small. I ordered a size larger than one of my favourite dresses, which is a Gothicana swing/skater dress and a bit big for me. This was still far too tight, including at the top, where I am much smaller. Really pretty dress, but the sizing and the shape are no good for me at all. I would suggest maybe going 2 sizes above your usual EMP stuff.

Comfy, cosy and cool
My second Gothicana brand hoodie and again I really love it. It is really comfortable, the sleeves are a good length for my long arms, but they are also gathered enough at the cuff that you can push them up and they stay up out of the way. The lining is cosy, soft and fluffy, apart from the hood, which has a cotton lining. I think this is the only thing I would change, as it is not as cosy as the rest of the hoodie, but it is still really nice. The print is also great, and after months of washing and wearing it, it still looks as good as when I first bought it.

Hippy-witchy-bohemian vibes
These are definitely earrings and not a choker as the product title suggests. If you struggle with heavy earrings, then these could be right for you. Really light to wear and large enough to make a statement, but not so big they are annoying. In fact they are light enough that I forgot I was wearing them, then became confused when the wind caught them and I felt the feathers touch my face! Perfect if you are looking for a hippy witchy bohemian vibe! Have had several compliments when wearing them.

Love the subtly spooky pattern!
Really soft and very comfortable to wear. Great length (which I especially appreciate as a tall person) but easy to adjust to sit higher up on the body with the way the hip band sits. Absolutely love the print on this, from a distance it just looks like you are wearing cutesy cherries, but up close you see that they are skulls. Considering buying the long sleeve version and maybe the dress with the same print.

Lovely t-shirt, but smaller fitting
Had to get this t-shirt as a Tim Burton fan! It is a nice soft t shirt material and I like that it is a different colour to the norm. The print is also soft, sometimes the printing paint can be a little stiff, but this is nice and soft. My main issue is that the fit is much smaller than other EMP clothes I have in this size and the stitching around the hem and the arms is quite tight in comparison to the rest of the top. I have ended up yanking it to break the stitching a bit, and in fact I need to properly unpick it to just embrace the raw hem look. I still love it though and am happy that I bought it.

Great wardrobe staple
A really good wardrobe basic, at a very good price. Very soft, stretchy fabric and a good length. Great for layering underneath other clothes for extra warmth, or for anything that is a bit see through, and in my case, some of my off the shoulder tops that have gotten a bit big for me. The only thing is, if you were looking for vest tops that are looser and less fitted, then this might not be for you. I originally bought these hoping they weren’t as clingy, but am happy with them anyway.

Pretty, comfortable and practical.
Really love this bolero. It is made of very soft material, it is so comfortable to wear. The sleeves are of a perfect length (and my arms are on the longer side), but it also still looks good if you push the sleeves up to the elbow. The lace trim is really pretty, means it can be worn casually, or make outfits look more dressed up. Perfect with a vest top and a cool necklace. I will be ordering another one, when the right size is in stock. I ordered slightly too big (my fault), but loved it so much that I didn't want to exchange it!

Love it so much that I want to buy a second!
Absolutely love this top! Really soft, comfortable and very cool print. As a tall person, I love how long it is too, but if you are shorter it can easily be worn with the hip band and fabric above more ruched, which also looks pretty cool. Can be layered with the plain short sleeved version of this type of top to make it a bit warmer in the cold. I often put a red one underneath. Going to order another one, as I adore it! More cool prints on this type of top (and in the larger sizes), please!
