    I've been looking at that top - is the fabric soft stretchy jersey knit like? Would it be easy to snag? How light/or cozy is the fabric? What color did you get? Would it look dressy with the right pants/skirt? Thanks! Tokie

    Shiva

    Fabric is soft/stretchy but not tissue-thin, more of a medium-to-heavy jerseyweight fabric. I got one in black for my daughter thinking it would make great concert attire (she's a cellist). She looks smashing in it. Absolutely, positively loverly, not that I'm biased or anything...I tried one on and it was not so immediately flattering. FWIW I'm stockier than she is - she's slender with a long neck and narrow shoulders. The neck is a little fussy for me, but again it looks great on her. Honestly I can't see it being a useful top while doing anything more athletic than sawing on a cello - seems like it would flop around - but a very nice piece to toss on afterwards. You could definitely dress it up and go out on the town.

    Oh, no, it's definitely NOT an athletic top!

    But, oooh, baby, it is incredibly flattering!

    I got the wine colored one, and it's something that would look great with nice pants or skirt. It looks great with jeans, too. I've worn it a few times at work now, and you can adjust the neck such that you show *nothing* you don't want to. The neck is very spiffy, cuz you can do just about anything with it.

    I can't find this ANYWHERE anymore. TE only has the "candy" color, which I am assuming is the light blue.

    I hope you can get one. I am SOOOO totally loving this shirt!

    (I also love that it just will NOT wrinkle and will NOT pull out of shape no matter how I abuse it. Kindness to clothing is not one of my virtues, and this Shebeest top puts up with my neglect beautifully. And did I mention that it is insanely sexy and elegant? )

    This shirt sounds amazing. Too bad you didn't write your review back when they still HAD some! It's ok. My wallet forgives you.

    I *did* write my review while TE still had some! (or at least, TE had all the colors in my size... which is all that mattered to me at the time!) They must've sold like hotcakes!

    You google "sheebeest shiva" and you get your review. I shirt you not.

    You should work in advertising. And when I read your review I thought it was pretty short and simple compared to some of your other reviews.
