I would've liked a shorter version that I could wear with high waisted trousers--this swallowed me up. But &nbsp;it works on you. I loved the feel and am now on the lookout for a version of this!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857695 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 16:36:25 +0000 Elle 1857695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep!&nbsp; It looks great on you.&nbsp; I've tried on this top too and it looks much better in real life - something about the drape keeps it from overwhelming.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857665 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 13:26:27 +0000 Angie 1857665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No. I think it's fashionable in this fit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857661 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 13:21:06 +0000 Elizabeth P 1857661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you, Roxanne.&nbsp; It's a beautiful top, I'm trying to resist temptation myself... but concerned about the length on me as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857660 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 13:17:21 +0000 Murph11 1857660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh... it also comes in dusty pink! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857657 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 13:01:56 +0000 Murph11 1857657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

I'm glad it worked for you. It works really well with your hair and bold lip color, and I like the dramatic necklace set against the velvet. I think the size is perfect (and yeah, I got the XS also and wish they made it one size smaller, just to compare, but I think it's good as-is). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857616 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 04:38:20 +0000 Brooklyn 1857616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep it for sure.

Sometimes I tend to get stuff that is too big/drapey for my petite France without realising it. This was an XS - Given I can't go any smaller, do you think I should pass it on to my mom? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857573 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 01:07:16 +0000 Angie 1857573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous &nbsp;and fashionable.</p> <p>I'm curious - did you try a size down too?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857541 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 21:58:27 +0000 jill58 1857541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous--very elegant.

I don't think it is unflattering at all. I can't tell what is on the end of the sleeve. Is it a band or a ruffle? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857521 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 20:17:31 +0000 Roxanna 1857521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much ladies!&nbsp;</p> <p>@lisap, I think if it had been a couple of inches shorter, it would have been a dealbreaker for me (too much in muumuu territory.) But I like this length. I totally know what you mean about having to feel comfortable about highlighting different areas of your body though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857512 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 19:20:01 +0000 Barbara Diane 1857512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857465 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 15:44:40 +0000 Marilyn 1857465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's lovely on you.</p> <p>I'm a few inches shorter than you.....will have to see if it's in store to try.&nbsp; I'd love to get a velvet top.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857464 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 15:43:58 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1857464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You’ve got great curves, and this top puts them in a good light. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857456 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 14:51:40 +0000 Anonymous 1857456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this top too - but it sits on me exactly where it does on you, and I just can't do it. &nbsp;However, I am super -self-conscious about that area of the body - and I admit that. &nbsp;I think it's got to be a personal choice - if you are confortable with that length, then go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857447 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 14:18:09 +0000 JuniperGreen 1857447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oo I think that's lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gap-velvet-kimono-top#post-1857443 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 14:04:50 +0000 Roxanna 1857443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by Greyscale, I bought the Gap velvet kimono top and as she said, it is soft, supple, beautifully cut and looks more expensive than it is IMO. I originally wasn't going to buy it because I thought it would work better on someone who was taller with broad shoulders, but I after I felt it I couldn't let it go! </p> <p>As Greyscale said, it is wide but collapses against the body beautifully. It is very soft and comfortable and I can see it being ideal for casual holiday get togethers. I plan to wear it with a thin turtleneck underneath next or with a lacy camisole perking it from underneath to extend the length. </p> <p>If you are interested, the length is key. Note the length on me - I am 5'3". </p> <p>Would love to hear what you think - honestly. Does it work on my short curvy body or is it better on someone taller with a stronger shoulder line? Looking at the photos again, I think perhaps it cuts me at my widest part and may be better to wear with a darker bottom to create a column of colour? I had worn washed out grey jeans because I liked the juxtaposition with the rich velvet.</p>
