I’m so pleased with this top I’ve ordered 2 more colours. The white material has a self coloured pattern & it isn’t see through at all. I’m a size 18 & ordered size XL….which is a perfect fit. The neckline is lovely. Sometimes a square neckline can gape a little but this one very gradually narrows on its journey from the top to the bottom….. I don’t think that’s obvious from the photos. It’s a nice length (Im 5’7″). The soft gathers that fall from the neckline are quite flattering, but if you’re wanting to cover a multitude of sins, I would suggest these gathers aren’t full enough. The back has no gathers. I know I’ll get a lot of wear out of this top & the other colours I’ve ordered & because of this, for me, they’re a good price. Recommended!
