Driving Me Dotty

When WMM asked if the polka-dot sequin top was TTS,

you'd think that's an easy yes or no. But no ... it is not.

If I had them side by side, you'd see the top in

vintage champagne is bigger than the black one I have on here.

And yes, they are supposed to be the same size -- XXS.

At least that's what I ordered and that's how they're labeled.

 

Maybe this one got into the wrong pile for the size label.

Maybe the vintage champagne runs bigger than the black.

Not only is it looser fitting all over, the champagne top is

approximately one inch longer in body length than the same size in black.

But I could have received one that was mislabeled. 

 

Gigi thought the polka dots sparse and small on the champagne

while the ones on the black perfectly sized and placed.

I agree. But think it's a visual illusion.

As you can see, the dots are the same size.

I tried the champagne with another combination:

(The dots do look a little sparse and small, don't they?)

A reminder of what the black one in the "same size" looked like on me:

And I wore it without a shirt under

because some wanted to know if the top is itchy.

Again, it's not a simple yes or no.

AJC tried it early on, and she included a pic of the extra facing

around the neckline meant to give some protection.

Ignore the CFS, the top is cotton, not viscose.

It's more comfortable than the zigzag sequin tee or dress.

But it will always be more scratchy than a plain sweater or tee.

 You'd know if you're sensitive to stuff like that.

 

I do know the champagne is slightly scratchier than the black.

I did a blind test to validate that, it's not my imagination.
