What is it and how functional is it?
The sexy cowl front, O-ring top could be a nice addition to your summer wardrobe, lingerie set, or just your routine clothing, however the cowl front is very low cut and likes to expose everything. To me this top is best suited for an over shirt, but only if you can find the right under shirt, which I have not.

Material and Care
I own many pieces from Espiral and they all seem to be the same material, which is 93% Polyester and 7% Elastano/Spandex. It feels really similar to most bathing suit materials, which is really clingy. It is somewhat sheer, meaning if you hold it up to your face and look at the light, you can see through it. Since there is Elastano/Spandex in the material, it is really stretchy, but it is form fitting. This is going to cling and fit to hug all areas, even the unwanted areas. The tag only recommends that this be hand washed, but I have accidentally put mine in the washer with no issues, however I did not get it in the dryer. I recommend against using the dryer, but machine washing was fine.

Design
You can purchase this top in black or purple. The top starts off with tank top straps that have a seam at the collarbone, these straps V down into the cowl neck line. A cowl neck line means that the drops down and bunches up at the neckline. From the neckline down is solid material on the front. The back is an open back, but the straps are brought together by a silver metal O ring, which also has two other straps that are stitched to the waist line on the side, which is to help keep this clingy. Directly under these side straps are loops to hang your top and is an elastic band from side to side and then down to the bottom, but in the middle of this is a elastic band, which is to give this a ruffle or bunched up effect. This is stitched together at the side seam at the bottom. There is no breast support and with the open back the only bra option is this or something like that.

Quality Check Quality: Poor
All along the edge of this cowl neckline is stitched to prevent fraying. The seams at the collar bone are not even and have fraying going on. Along the outer edge where your armpit would be, the material is folded and stitched, which looks good until you get to the edge and there is extra material that should of been cut off. The stitching around the metal is ring is done very well with little waste to the material. The bottom straps off the O ring are attached to the side at the waist line, which is fraying. The bottom side seam, where the elastic band and loops are attached to, is fraying as well. The tag is attached to this seam on the right side. The thin elastic band in the middle is stitched is frayed and the bands inside the of the material are poking out. Overall the quality is poor, since there are a lot of flaws.

I was able to get the XL to stretch 48" all around, so it will fit a wide variety of women. The size chart is accurate, but it can also go larger. The issue was the amount of cleavage that spilled out. The less you have the more that will show, so you will want to go with a smaller size so not much is exposed, however this is most likely not going to work for those who are tiny framed. If you do not have much breast and are fairly petite, this top will just look baggy and awkward.

Overall Rating
I am giving this 3 stars for poor quality and bad sizing.

Front and back view, sorry my mirror is permanently stained and foggy, this was the best photo I could get.


Up close on the O ring.

Since my photos were removed, I wanted to re-upload. I still enjoy this top, but I wear it in the bedroom. I'm not comfortable wearing it into public. It exposes too much and the length just doesn't cover enough for my comfort.
