Has anyone bought the Slinky TS top on HSN today. I really like the look but I haven't bought anything from HSN in years because I wasn't satisfied with the quality.
I would love to hear opinions on this TS.
TIA

To me the all-over ruffle design makes you look like you've gained weight. It's just the way it's made. It's not for me.
I do own some Slinky tops and I think the quality is very good. The fabric is cool against your skin and very comfortable.

I can't speak to the quality, but I think it's a cute top. I'm not a big buyer, but I have purchased from HSN, and haven't had a problem with the quality of what I've bought. That said, I have no experience with this brand.

Slinky had a top very similar to this a few years ago. I bought a black one and a white one on clearance for less than $10. The white one always looked dingy so I gave it away, I liked the black one but while I was wearing it, a string was hanging. I should have known better but pulled it and an entire row of ruffles was left hanging.
I do not think it is worth the asking price. A Slinky top I purchased in August for full price was half price today. I received a price adjustment. I'd wait for the clearance price on the TS.

I love Slinky but this is a top that has been around several years. I have 3 of them, one is short sleeve and 2 others are similar to the TSV (nothing special about this special). I too bought them on sale at a price much lower than today's. I like them, they fit well and wash well but if I wanted another one I would put it in my "favorites" list and wait for a price reduction.

I have two of these types of Slinky tops. One is a actually like a little jacket. It's black and has the ruffles only on the front of the jacket and the jacket buttons up the front in to a v-shape. I wear it all the time usually open with a colored tank top underneath. I have washed and dried it 100 times with no problems! It has never stretched out or faded. I also have a tank top that is white and the entire tank top is made of the ruffles. I haven't worn this one as much (I gained some weight and it's too tight now) but again didn't have any problems washing and drying. I have several other Slinky brand pieces in my wardrobe and have had no problems with them, some of them for years. I say go for it!

As @lulu2 said, this is a very old style. I was rather surprised to see it as a TS. I too bought this in a rust color and a deep plumb color years ago. I bet I donated them at least 2-3 years ago and I had them for a couple of years prior to that. I also purchased mine on a deep clearance for around the $10.00 price point.
The tops were comfortable and I never had an issue with them. They washed and wore very well for me. I did not think they added weight or bulk and I don't think they make anyone look heavier who I've seen in it today either.

I ordered Slinky tops before and pants and I won't order them again. A kleenex is stronger then the material they use. Their material is see thru and paper thin!! Horrible in my opinion. There's no substance to their clothes at all.

I love Slinky tops and dresses, NONE of them are see through and the fabric is wonderful because it's breathable and not clingy. I have several of their 2 pack tops that come in various colors and prints, they don't wrinkle and travel well. They look nice under blazers and cardigans. I wore a lace Slinky dress to my son's MBA graduation this past May and it held up very well in the heat of the day.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I decided to pass and shop locally so I'll be sure of what I'm getting.
