This top is so pretty and the color is so gorgeous. It’s a very elegant mauve-y purple; it’s beautiful and it’s not a color I see a lot of so I’m loving the uniqueness of it.The neckline is great although it took me a little bit to get used to as I don’t wear a lot of mock necks (something I’m trying to change). I do find myself dealing with the neck and my necklaces battling from time to time, but it’s worthwhile :) The ruching on the side is a nice detail that adds a lot of visual interest and I do like that it’s not so short that I couldn’t wear it with a high waisted pair of pants or shirt normally if I wanted to. It’s extremely flattering; I’m a bigger girl and have a very large chest and this shirt is forgiving. It compliments what it should and downplays what it should. VERY flattering!The fabric is soft and breathable and stretches nicely. I also had a situation the first time I wore it where my shirt got quite a bit of blood on it, and I was really worried that it was ruined – I was able to put some peroxide on it, but I was worried that I was going to have to re-dye it, a different color or something. I’m very happy to report that the stain did not hold at all and released very easily; the color was unaffected. I figured I would make note of it – we all run into situations where we’re worried a piece of clothing not hold up so I’m really glad your appointment this shirt releases stains very easily.I honestly don’t know what to say – other than get it! You’ll love it.
