Black is a faded/washed kind of color - internationally like this. It is NOT true solid black. It’s supposed to have a “rough/worn” look. I bought this for a summer concert over the 4th of July / Independence Day and it was so cute. Only worn that 1 time so it’s in perfect condition and has no flaws. Size small - true to size. It’s not a crop top, but it is slightly more cropped than your average tank top. The arm holes have a deep cut, so it’s best worn with some kind of bralette/bandeau underneath. Let me know if you’d like additional photos or specific measurements!
