August Silk Hybrid Open Knit Shirt - Decorative Back Zipper, 3/4 Sleeve (For Women)

quality is good, but not beautiful, like children's clothing.

Bought this as a gift for one whose fav color is green. This was a bargain - the weight and quality exceed my expectations. I see this going from Spring to Fall with skirt, shorts, capris. The hand is very soft and comfortable. Thanks, STP.

August Silk must run small, the large was snug - to snug and I and a size 10-12, we'll see how the XL fits. Appears to be well made not cheap the zipper gives it some character and I think the green color will be a good transition in spring.

First, about that zipper . . . it is totally decorative. While it does pull up and down, it opens nothing on the sweater, so it doesn't help taking the sweater on or off. To me, the zipper does add an element that keeps this otherwise ultra-feminine style from looking like you borrowed it from grandma's closet.

Also notice how it is fitting the model pretty closely in shoulders and arms. I think the cut is intended to be boxy from the bust down, but I found it a little smaller than a medium should be.-- fitting me just like in the picture even though I'm narrower than average in shoulders and arms. The large ended up being only slightly larger and a great fit on top. I'm also short-waisted, and both medium and large hit me much lower than pictured, more mid-hip than high. While 2" shorter would have been cuter, I still like the look well enough keep it for a fun spring and summer piece.

This is a fabulous top: beautiful fabric, cut, and fit. BUT--the "decorative back zipper" is clunky and industrial-looking against the airy fabric. I might try to replace the work-day zipper pull with a more jewel-like one, but then that's work for me, isn't it?

Overall, a great product because the wearer does not have to see the zipper at all.
