I was surprised by the color and it had a texture I wasn't expecting, so when this top arrived, I stashed it in my closet. But we've had some bad weather lately and I wanted something bright to offset the mood and atmosphere, so I hauled it out, steamed it up in the bathroom and put it on. I have blue eyes and this dress makes my eyes pop. The sleeves are very feminine, not too short or too long, and I'm 5'8" and I'm very happy with it.
