Business in the front and party in the back. Sounds like a great idea but is a hot mess in reality. I LOVED the back. I can see why all the other reviews just showed this from the back. However, the front looks really weird because of the draping in the back and bulges out in a very unflattering way. I’m doing the lords work here and posting a picture of the front so you know what you’re getting into. It’s also huge, so size down if you still insist on trying it out. It kept falling off my shoulders and I was worried about a wardrobe malfunction, so I put a cami underneath to feel safer. Thank goodness I did because I definitely would have exposed myself otherwise. Just driving down the road, it completely fell off and was hanging over my elbows until I could get to a stoplight to fix it. I did get nice compliments on it though—I assume just for the back and not for the front.

I rented this to wear to a work event in Florida and it was perfect for that but overall it was pretty heavy and baggy it wasn’t that flattering 

Loved this top - was perfect for a summer date night. Fit true to size and received so many compliments. Debated buying! 

Unique trendy vest option for a spring white party. Fit true to size

This is absolutely stunning. I highly recommend this vest. The back drapes super low and there’s a strap that keeps the front form fitting that you can hide by putting the drape end behind it. So many compliments.

This top will get you stopped multiple times with people complimenting you/asking where you got it. I sized down per other reviews and was glad I did. It’s an outfit-making piece and was perfect to wear during my European vacation. 

Fun top that I paired with cream linen pants to wear to a nice dinner with friends.

I rented this for a trip to Paris, wearing it multiple ways as a staple in my wardrobe. Love the open back, and how easy it is to accessorize. Loved that it didn’t require pasties, and that you could look more put together than wearing a tank, but with the same level of comfort. 

Size down bc the strap in the back is adjustable, which is great. I loved wearing this multiple ways. I felt classy yet professional.

Could have sized down, but it kind of worked a little bit oversized. Very business in the front/party in the back vibes.

Wore this to the symphony…so many compliments on how classy this top was. Rent this! Size down!! It does have a waist strap… it does help, but you want this fitted. I wore fashion tape. Beautiful!

Thankfully I wore a white bandeau underneath because a wind gust twice blew the vest portion resting on my shoulders right off exposing everything. Tape could help. It’s beautiful but really designed for wider shoulders to support, not mine. 

This was an overall win - the shape was amazing and I kept trying to take photos of the back (fail). But the front was a bit droopy as a result of the open back (so all photos of my front were meh) and needed a ton of fashion tape to avoid accidents. Maybe just because my ladies are tiny, but I would have liked another strap across the shoulders (there’s a lower one across the waist). 

I was surprised by how much I liked this vest. It looked great with some slouchy suit pants and tennis shoes, but I can't wait to try it in a bridal setting as show in the editorial photos.
