I was desperately seeking a top that looked **** without being **** and something that had long sleeves that I could wear under short sleeved tops or dresses without looking like a 90's skater kid or simply to wear under a waistcoat or corset and it had to be....cheap! Purses are under pressure again....I wasn't sure about the red/black ombrey mesh but it looks far better in the flesh so to speak, the red misty mesh is actually very subtle. Top is a great fit without being so tight that I'd look like a human haggis. Looks really good with the Gloomara skirt (even though I didn't get it for that!) and a velvet corset top and will prob look great with camo combats or red tartan leggings with 3 row ring belt l or a tartan mini skirt or skort/hot pants. I am totally chuffed with my purchase and the usual, amazing customer service provided by Kate's - keep it up! Happy New Year!
