Review on Collections Etc Zippered Dickie Layer Top With Armholes - Soft Knit Mock Turtleneck For Layered Look by James Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A much nicer dickie alternative

The loose piece in the front and back of dickies can make them awkward to smooth in place and I'm glad I decided to replace those I bought last year with this style; and its zipper makes me doubly glad.The fabric is a lightweight sweater knit and the rib knit neckline doesn't gap like those on the interlock mock turtlenecks I purchased last year that look sloppy on my 14 inch neck.The color wine is a red wine like a burgundy as opposed to a blue wine like a bordeaux if the shade is important to you.Note: the one-size-fits-most on this listing won't accommodate a chest size too much larger than a 36C unless you like your tops snug. If you want to chance it, though, the armhole opening is pretty long.This dickie calls for hand washing and air drying but I machine washed my mine and let it bounce around in the dryer for a very short while on low to remove the wrinkles from spin-drying and it suffered no ill effects.So I am very pleased with this dickie and wouldn't hesitate to purchase it again if the need should arise.

Pros
  • I wish the neck was a larger size
Cons
  • The fabric used is cheap and prone to pilling, making the top look worn and old after only a few washes
