This is a beautiful top especially for the holidays, a wedding, a special event. It’s absolutely stunning in person. I did wear this twice but it’s a tad too small for me now. I have not washed it. The top does have slight make stains on the inside of the neck and slight pilling. It also does have shoulder pads which I’m sure you could pull out if you prefer. I am an honest person so I will say this - the makers of this top should’ve lined the sleeves like they lined the bodice because the sleeves are a little itchy in my opinion but I didn’t let it prevent me from wearing. It’s truly a show stopper. I went to their website to see if it’s still available but it is not. It’s all sequins and in very good condition.
