Promising review: "I have washed and worn this top several times since purchasing. I usually dry it on low heat, and the fabric and lace has held up well. It is wrinkle free from the dryer. The fabric is not see-through and has a nice sheen. It is versatile: tuck it in, wear it loose, or wear it untucked with a belt. The lace lays nice and flat...The V-neck is [nice], but not too low cut. The top looks great with jeans, dressy pants, a skirt or shorts. It goes with everything and has quickly become one of my go-to pieces. It has a minimal classic style." —BT

Very happy with this." —Petiteandspoiled

Enough to give me the extra height I wanted without looking silly...These look perfect with my split-hem flared leggings. The sneakers feel good on, feet are supported, and the width is true as well.

Promising review: "This top was a little out of my fashion comfort zone, but it is so worth it!! Such great quality and great support, you can wrap and tie it to your preference of tightness/support and also remove the padding if you wanted. It's so cute and even the cream white color was a little daring, but it is now my go to top for going out or wanting to be a little extra cute and classy for something.

Promising review: "Great summer bag! I loaded it up last night and have been using it all day. Love it. It is light, very functional because of the handles and strap, has pockets on the inside for organization and a stiff canvas so its 'structured' and can sit up by itself.
