Black ravishing cleavage top - tee discontinued by Espiral - review by Kimmie1980ca

Use

The Black Ravishing Cleavage Top by Espiral, is the perfect little halter style tank top for many occasions. It's solid black, which means it's perfect to be paired with almost anything. Wear it with jeans, dress pants, or a skirt, as it's good for so many places. If you would like to tone it down and wear it to a place like work, layer it with a camisole and a cardigan, and it looks really nice. With the silver accent in the bust region, this little halter can be dressy, casual, or work casual. This piece is multi-functional, and a great addition to anyone's wardrobe.

Design / Craftsmanship / Material / Size / Fit

The Black Ravishing Cleavage Top comes available in both black and white. There are two labels attached to the halter, the first has the size (XL), and the second has "AM:PM", "by Espiral" written on it, along with the breakdown of fabrics: 93% Polyester, and 7% Rayon. I find it quite interesting that the inside tag fabric breakdown is completely different from the cardboard tag that's attached to the shirt: 65% Polyester and 35% Rayon. Which one is it? I'm not sure, however, both state that the item of clothing is made in Columbia, and that it should be hand washed.





Starting from the top, it's a halter style tank top. There's no way to adjust the length of the halter straps, as they are sewn where it would hug your neck. The length of the straps from the seam behind the neck to the middle of the bust is 16" (XL). There is no pattern to the fabric, as it is solid black. The fabric is quite stretchy, and should easily form to many different body shapes. The bust has no added bra for support, as well as no way of tightening the straps or bust-line, however, the style of the halter does offer a fair amount of support in the bust. If you have a bigger bust and require further support, you can wear this with a halter style bra.



In the center of the bust area is a round "O" shaped silver decoration. It kind of reminds me of a belt buckle, as it's solid and the fabric is passing through it. It also reminds me of one of those items from the 80's that I used to use on my over-sized t-shirts, and it would clip and tie one side of the shirt. With the gathering of fabric in the bust region, and the "O" in the middle, it creates a slimming effect on the body. If your trouble area is the tummy region, this top camouflages it nicely, and brings your eyes directly to the bust region. With that said, if you have a small bust, this item may not be for you, unless you have a padded bra.





The length of the halter tank top looks quite short, however, once on it's not. Holding it in my hands I thought that there's no way it would cover my stomach, but it did. From the bust to the bottom of the top it measures 7" in length. With that said, it goes to show that the bust comes down quite low. This is a cleavage top, so it will show what you got or don't got! I personally like to wear a camisole underneath, that way I can wear it for normal daily clothing instead of clubbing ware. Espiral paid close attention to the quality of this item. The seams are well sewn, and it can put up with a fair amount of tugging. I'm hard on my clothing, and I found that this item stood up to my regular wear and tear.



There's no added lining to this shirt, however, the material feels silky and soft against your skin. If you were to wear this item without a bra, you may find the silver metal "O" in the middle of the bust, a little cold against your skin. I personally like to wear a bra and camisole underneath, so it doesn't bother me at all.

Care and Maintenance

This item you will want to wash by hand in cool water, and use a detergent that is mild. I personally like to use zero for my lingerie. You will also want this item to air dry. Since this item is delicate in nature, you will not want to toss this in the washer or dryer. Even though there are products out there that you can put this in and wash in the washer, I wouldn't recommend it, as the item could shrink.

Packaging

The halter top came wrapped in a clear plastic bag type of packaging. It had a clear little hanger, which looked like it's used for the purpose of showcasing the product on a store wall. The bag came sealed, so you could tell that the item was brand new, and the original cardboard tag with a model wearing the top was attached. The original tag had the model wearing the white version of the top, instead of the black that I was receiving. The tag also includes the size, model number of the shirt, as well as washing instructions.



With this being one of the first items of the Club Wear for Eden Fantasys, I was a little nervous about buying it. I'm so glad that I decided on taking a chance, because it actually looks nice on. With my tummy being my problem area, this top actually helps hide it, and brings all the attention to my bust area. I wear a size 14 or an XL, and the XL fit me perfectly. My bust I normally wear 38D, and this fit my bust perfectly as well. I wear this out to all kinds of places, bar, family's home, work... it's quite versatile. Wearing this item for every day, it requires a camisole underneath, but it looks great on. This would make for a great addition to anyone's wardrobe.

This little halter tank top is still one of my favorite items to wear with a pant suit at work. I pair it with a camisole, and it becomes appropriate for the office, and looks smart. This item is slimming, and comfortable, and excellent quality. It's still going strong, after a few washes.
