I don't particularly care for this look, but it can work on a tall, slender woman. Poor, dear Antoinella looks as broad as a barn in this thing. Can't believe they made her wear it on air. NOT a good choice for the short and/or plump among us.

I don't usually respond when I don't agree, however I thought Antoinella looked really nice in the black tiered. That is one reason I have been considering ordering.

"Eye of the beholder", I suppose. Antoinella is a charming and lovely woman. She is also short and not at all thin -- just like me. I thought the horizontal, overlapping tiers of fabric made her appear shorter, wider, and blockier, although she kept saying how much she loved the top. I didn't think it was a flattering choice, but I can certainly accept that she and you disagree. I personally wouldn't buy or wear that top under any circumstances.

Re: Susan Gravers tiered tops

When I heard about this top, I thought ho-hum, what a yawner. However, when I saw the presentation, I really thought it is a very cute top. I like the neckline and the chevron shaped tiers. I'm not a fan of the 3/4 length sleeve, not flattering for me and too loose-fitting. I understand it is a sleeve type that probably works for a lot of women.

One big drawback is the pricing. I would have to get one home and examine it closely, but it seems too expensive to me even at the special price.

Re: Susan Gravers tiered tops

I did not purchase this particular one; however, I did purchase a printed one a few months ago. I am 5'7" and wear an 8/10. Contrary to what most believe (usually those who have not tried one), this top is actually slimming. I think if one is shaped kind of like SG (large hips or thighs) and small on top, it's probably not the best look for you. If you are "balanced", IMO it works.

I have 5 of these. I am five feet tall, and I am pleasantly plumpish. It looks great on me as I am told by others. I wear it with long flowing skirts for the dance floor. It is made well and is very comfy.

I cannot believe she is still hawking this ugly rag!! Obviously, SG can't sell them; might as well give them away!

Do you have any idea what you're talking about? "Obviously" she can sell them, and plenty of them.
