This is a very pretty and sexy top. That is where the good news ends. The material is a puzzle to me. There is a hang tag attached that says it is a 93% polyester/8% blend. The inseam tag says it is 65% polyester/35% rayon. That makes a big difference, because I expect more out of rayon than I do from polyester. While polyester keeps fabrics more wrinkle free, the rayon gives an item longevity and a more couture look. I think this leans towards more polyester (and as my cousin would say about this, "...how many polys did they have to kill to make that?..."). Either way, Espiral recommends that you wash this by hand in cold water and it should be layed flat to dry.

If you look at the picture you will see that there is a circular pin that sort of bunches up the material that fans out in a very flattering way. Because the fabric does not lay against the skin, it helps cover up any flaws you may think you have. It covers any body issues you may have. It is a nice touch but probably not intentional by the company. It is a style that would flatter just about any woman's body. If you have extra large breasts, they will be on display.If you are modest, this is not the top for you.

Once this was washed according to directions (hand washed), I found that it needed pressing. I am not a fan of bringing out the iron. I find anything that it is necessary to iron, that item goes down in my opinion. Also, it is difficult to iron this, because it is so thin and has a lot of polyester. Polyester can not take high heat, so you need to be very diligent with your iron or you can easily burn and/or melt clothing with a high % of polyester. I try really hard not to buy anything that needs hand washing, dry cleaning and/or ironing!!! OK, you can call me lazy!

I wanted so much to like this. I wore it around the house because it is not nice enough to wear in public. I have high dress standards and this looks like something you (and anyone else) would pick up at the local discount chain for their 2/$9.99 special price.

I still wish this were made of better materials because the style is pretty. The design hides any problems with your middle because of the ruching fanning out from the deep V-neckline. It is a nice design that is made cheaply. That takes a lot away from this top. It’s too bad because I really want to wear this out, but cannot.
