This is NOT Inspiration...

Sometimes you see a something in fashion that needs to be noted.  This top is one of them:


What is your first impression of this top?  Would you consider purchasing it?

My first thought was UGH! that is a horrible fit.  Look at all those drag lines.  The top is obviously too big for the model.  It truly looks like they needed to get a picture and she tossed it on and that was it.  The top is described as a related fit pullover in cotton.  It doesn't say that it's a knit so I'm assuming that it is a woven.  The back doesn't look any better than the front.  Really, I can't get past the fit on the model.  That picture is suppose to sell the garment.

Good things about the top - the color is good, the trim at the neckline is interesting.

The one obvious thing that I see is the model has uneven shoulders.  I think potentially this could be fitted by removing fabric from the shoulder and lowering the armhole enough to use it.  It would depend on how the armhole was finished.  Would that be enough to make the top look good on?  Are the wrinkles around the trim on the neckline because the trim is too heavy for the fabric or is something else going on?

This top was originally $375.00.  It is currently marked down to $243.00.  Want to look closer?  Go to Neiman Marcus and search for Dries Van Noten Hailstone Sleeveless.  That should get you there.

What are your thoughts on this top?

Happy Stitching!
