Joan Vass Silk Charmeuse Pleated Shirt with Sequin Trim - Sleeveless (For Women)

Pleats are great for "hiding" large stomach. Disappointed that the fabic is very thin and/or un-lined. I expected more for the price.

really cute on. not form fitting. will be cute with jeans for night out or with a jacket over the top for more conservative look.

I so wanted to love this top, which I ordered in two sizes in the pale grey color. I wear a size 14 normally, but in this case, the size 3 was huge and the size 2 did not fit properly at all. The neckline on this top is cut way too low, with the back cut too high, and the armholes out of place. The pleats can only be described as looking like maternity wear, especially with the strange band around the bottom. Very unattractive top, so back it went.

This top is not as shown. It is much less dressy and it is very low cut. I thought it could be worn alone, but it is so low cut that it almost requires a camisole underneath. And the material is thin and cheap feeling and the sequins are not real sequins.

An absolutely gorgeous top. I had lots of questions about sizing from just looking at the photo, so here are my results. I got it in the size "2" (12-14) in silver; I usually wear a 14 or L (sometimes XL) in tops and I have a "pear" shape. It's too low to wear for work, but fine for a night out. A bra fits unseen under the straps and under the armholes. There is a band at the bottom to hold the pleats together, but it's thin, unobtrusive, and NOT tight across the tummy/rear. The shirt definitely looks better out, over pants or skirt, than tucked in. (It would be smashing over a pair of skinny pants if you have skinny legs :-) It's a comfortable loose fit, but definitely not pregnant-looking. (I hate big tops that make me look even bigger.) It's pure silk, and the single row of sequins is subtle (I wasn't crazy about those from the photo, but they're OK). The silver is very matte, not shiny (i.e. looks rich, not cheezy). For me, the price is not cheap, even on sale, but it is gorgeous, and works around the year.
