This top is very cute! It has some stretch to it that will help accommodate lots of body shapes and sizes. Not like a cotton tee by any means, but definitely stretchier than your average button up. This allows it to fit a little more form and like a glove, which I love. The black tie is seperate from the shirt which is a blessing and a curse in my book. I can wear it with other outfits, but I'm more likely to lose it.
