Comfy, elevated

Work for a casual day at work and then went to chaperone my son's Halloween dance. Worked great for both.

Great option to kick things up

Comfortable. Perfect with skinny pants or leggings. Nice details with the buttons. Velvet is a comfortable way to be fancy. Wore it a few times over the holidays.

Obviously it fits very large so I wore it as a dress with tights! Longer in the back but still loved.

Felt like a circus ring leader

In a good way? The top was super comfy, kept me warm on a cool morning and the cut and buttons add just the right amount of flare. Would absolutely rent this again.

Wore with a flair jean and red lip and was an awesome classy look. Buttons worked and stretched cover the chest area without pulling which was great. Would rent again

Dressy top great for maternity

This top is flowy, long and has an A-line shape. Didn’t realize the buttons had shiny gems not usually my taste but its great with leather pants for a night out. Got many compliments.

Great top but long for short people

I love this top. It’s beautiful and expensive looking. However, on me it could be worn as a dress because of how long it is. I might wear over leggings.

No complaints, just not my style.

Fit was good. It just ended up being a little grumpy on me. At 27 weeks I felt like it would have maybe been cuter if I was further along.

beautiful quality and buttons

It wears like a maternity shirt; maybe I missed that. Fits large but if the fit is right, it would be flattering - it is almost has a coat/tails type feel.

Very cute for dressy occasion

I wore this out to a fancy dinner while in Rome. Paired it with some sparkly, clingy, black pants and it worked great. The bust closed nicely, which is unusual for me. Overall I loved it.

So Soft

This is a great top At 5'5" 155 lbs curvy I wore the M however it felt large and flowy. I considered buying it but ultimately decided against since it was amazing, it screams for wanting pockets! I wore it with skinny jeans but leggings would look great as well. The quality is great a soft velvet top could dress casual or up for a post work occation.

Wore this to a networking event with stockings. I liked the look of it, though the sleeves were a bit long, and it runs big in general.

The buttons are sparklier than expected and gave the whole thing 80 year old lady on a Broadway cruise vibes.
