The sculptural, clean lines of the Petra Liquid Jersey top create a statement piece in the most comfortable of stretch jerseys. Cut with a high mock neck, the softness of the fabric caresses the skin, and the dolman style sleeve creates an easy fit through the body that is not clingy. The sleeve tapers to a stovepipe, finishing the top with a sharp look, but cut for comfort on the arm. Wear it with our new Carla Skirt for a powerful silhouette, or with jeans or ponte pants for an effortlessly cool look.

"Soft, great red color, love you loose yet sculptural it is. I took off one star for the neck—you have to fuss with it after washing and drying—I use a cool iron to straighten the interfacing so it lays properly. But otherwise, very easy to wear, but still special."
"This top is liquid soft and super versatile. You can dress it up or down from business suit underpinning to Saturday lounging. It’s super comfortable and doesn’t cling to any bits you don’t want to since the cut isn’t fitted. I love the slight mock neck. It just looks and feels great all around."
"The color is rich and perfect for a fall in winter, the fabric is so silky and luxurious feeling, and the silhouette looks great on the tall, slender model. I loved everything about this except for how it looked on my 5’2” size 16–18 frame. The neck was too high, the shoulders were too low, and I just looked shapeless in it. A different size would not have mattered. I love this brand, but I returned half of my last order because the clothes are just not made for a petite, plus size frame. Please make more petites!"
"I love this shirt. I have it three colors. I feel it looks best with a wide leg pant. The net takes a little bit of getting used to and looks fantastic under sweaters and jackets is perfect for work. Wish I would’ve had this in my wardrobe at the beginning of summer. I love that you can take your jacket off and still look nice. I do wish Universal Standard could use a little higher quality fabric for their tease with a little bit more weight to them."
"Beautiful rich colour, light and airy fabric. Fit is perfect. A peice hat can go from work to a night out easily"
"I really like this shirt, it's really fun and the quality is nice. I do have a few complaints and hope Universal Standard will update some things. There is a very itchy tag placed on the neckline where it pokes your neck all day, it could have been printed or moved under the fold of the mock neck. I had to remove it with a seam ripper which did a little damage to the shirt (it was dark material and dark thread, very hard to see). Also, the shirts are all very boxy, and do not give shape, so I wish the tailoring was a little better. Overall I like the print, suggest sizing down if you're in between sizes and the print is subtle and fun. The material is soft and breathable and now that the tag is gone I wont be yanking the neckline all day."
"I buy Tee Rex's in Medium and they are "semi-fitted" on me, much more fitted than on most of the Tee Rex models, so if anything I was worried about having to size up in other top styles. I tried the Medium Petra and I was swimming in it, both width- and length-wise (it's tunic length). I exchanged it for a small and it's still loose fitting in the body, but not ridiculously so. The neck is maybe tighter than I'd like but not a deal breaker and the shoulders and sleeves fit well. I haven't really tried mock necks before and am surprised how much I like the style."
"Neck hole is surprisingly small. Shape of garment was odd. Don’t love the fabric. Sending back."
"This helped elevate by business casual wardrobe for work. The mock neck on it folded kinda weird after washing, but overall, it's a comfortable shirt. I would personally go up a size as I am not used to having things around my neck, but the medium was still comfortable."
"Although I like the color and feel of the material, it feels insubstantial so I'm not sure how long it will hold any shape. Also, the crewneck is a little too small, making uncomfortable getting it over your head as well as creating tightness around the neck."
