MIRA TOP | BLACK & WHITE CHEX

Love it

To start with, the size of this top was good for me as a standard size 4. Roomy for sure, but comfortable. I tried to upload some pictures to help perspective buyers, and perhaps you will understand my issues from looking at them. First, the red color and lining fabric is completely misrepresented in the model pics; while it appears online completely opaque and bright red, in person is it a more faded, subdued rusty sort of shade and it's so thin as to completely show the check underneath. Next, the check fabric is not the same - it's a larger-squared fabric compared to the model pics. I even counted the squares (same size) and it was something like 20 squares in a section of mine that was 30 in the pic. I get that supplies and availability may change over time, but unless you want to look like a bait and switch then the promo pics should be changed to reflect what you will actually get. Finally, the fabric itself is very lightweight indeed to give this the feel of an inexpensive cotton top. I would not really expect this to cost more than $35-40, perhaps $50 on the absolute top end, even considering fair labor practices and so on. Ultimately I like the style enough that I'm sucking up the no-return thing and keeping it without bothering to argue over the misrepresentation - it's still a cute top. However, I'm thinking carefully about ordering from this brand again given that the quality does not seem to match the prices and also the bait-and-switch nature of using higher-quality sampleS in promo pics that don't match what customers actually receive.

This is a great concept of a top, but it's too short on me. I will have to wear a shirt under it as it barely covers the girls. As with many of the clothes I've bought here, the colors are very different from their sales photos. I was hoping for a really crisp black and white to contract with the scarlet, but the B&W is ehh and the red is pale and pinker than I'd like. The neck facing is very narrow. I might rework this because I like the design.
