Shoppers have been quick to praise the Sheer Layer Cape Top for its flattering fit and versatility, with one reviewer saying: “Bought this for a special occasion. Was very comfortable to wear and extremely flattering.”
Another shopper said: “I purchased this for a engagement party and I got lots of compliments while wearing it. It’s loose and elegant and can be dressed up with a skirt of worn more casually with fitted jeans or trousers”
A further review praised it the cape top, saying: “I love this top just what I wanted and good quality. Can wear over dresses or with floaty trousers . Comes with camisole which is ideal. Great for holidays too.”
There is one thing shoppers may want to keep in mind, however. One reviewer said: “Marked down as sold as a set with camisole but this was not received. Next have discounted the top accordingly and not an issue for me as I have other vest tops to use but worth highlighting.”
Regardless, another shopper said: “Lovely versatile little top to wear with either trousers or long black skirt on an evening out. Can dress up or down & would even pair well with jeans. Looks more expensive than it is, very pleased with my purchase.”
