I have so many Sakkas tops now, I just love them. I'm a size 1x-2x normally, and got this in "regular" rather than plus (since plus was not available) and it fit me just fine (as they always do). Love the colors and soft material. It's classy enough for dinner with a skirt or slacks (am I dating myself a little by using that term?) or for just around town with leggings, jeans, or even shorts. They go great with a lovely sweater, silky blazer or just on their own. I just love these tops. You just need to wash them carefully in cool water and hang to dry (I often just wash mine by hand, honestly just soaking in some soapy water for a while, swishing them around, wringing out and hanging up to dry works so great if you are traveling! They always dry within several hours, too). Yeah, the stitching sometimes comes out, or the beads might come off here and there, but typically you can't tell unless you are up close and know exactly what you are looking for. I just carefully trim off any fraying threads and carry on, or grab a needle with a similar color thread and patch up a spot if it's really needed.

I've only had 1 rip on me beyond repair after a couple of years of very heavy use (I wore it to bed as well as out and about). Know what I did with it when I was done? I pulled out the side seams , sewed a curtain rod sized slot across the top, and used a small tension rod to hang it like a curtain over a small bookshelf where I keep some lovely stones and other little found treasures in my den. It looks so cute and unique. Repurpose at its best.
