**Design**

The splashy top from Espiral has a very unique design. It can flatter the right person, but the gathered fabric at the bust line creates a tight fit around the mid section and makes it look strange on those with full figures. The color is pretty accurate online; it's a bright yellow for sure-- it reminds me of a banana.

My inability to fit into this top well makes me doubt its aesthetics, but it's kind of hard to tell if it's me or the way it's made. The sleeves don't flatter well and create a frumpy look versus a nice flowing one:








Another area this shirt lacks is in the fabric; it is quite see through so you won't really be able to wear it without showing what's under it.






**Size/Fit and Measurements** (All measurements are in inches)

I ordered the X Large in hopes that it would be a bit larger and fit me well.

According to Espiral's size chart, an X Large should measure:

Chest: 40
Waist: 31
Hips: 44

It seems pretty accurate as far as fit; my measurements are:

Chest:40
Waist:38
Hips:40

Now the top fits me great in the chest and at the bottom, but my waist is bigger than the sizing chart suggests so it's a little tight there.

This shirt is oddly shaped so it was very tricky to get measurements of the piece itself. I put it on and measured across the front as best I could, and I got these measurements:

16 across the bust
12 under the bust line
16 across waist

Here is a picture of the shirt layed out on the floor:




**Material and Care**

I'm a bit surprised at how tight this is because it's made of Polyester and Spandex.

Care is fairly easy--- just wash with like colors. Dry with low heat to prevent damage to the spandex.
