Review on Women'S Turtleneck Top Long Sleeve Slim Fit Mesh Sheer See Through Blouse By Anbenser by Joe Drew

Revainrating 4 out of 5

They're not bad.BUT.I found another use for them!

Okay.so these are what they are--intentionally semi-sexy-ish as they are rather transparent though they really do remind me of the nylon stockings my grandmother wore complete with the girdle with hanging garters (NOT the image the manufacturer was going for I'm sure LOL).BUT! I have, as many of us sure do, have a great many cotton sweaters--some with a looser weave, some a tighter weave.but ALL are not very warm in the winter and so the only alternative is the typical coordinating turtleneck underneath. For myself, no matter how 'top of the line they were, even cashmere, there were times when it just felt like too many layers! Well, I'm here to tell you that these solve that problem entirely! Yep, nylon stocking-like, but they instantly stopped the cold air from getting through a slightly looser weave cotton sweater that I love and wore yesterday to vote (long line in the cold mind you!). They add almost NOTHING OF BULK under the sweater but instantly and VERY successfully made a sweater more frequently worn only in late Spring or early Autumn a very wearable winter option! It was amazing. No bulk/almost don't know its there and no cold air.works for me. As far as wearing them solely for their intended purpose, that works too.but unless you want to have 'no secrets to be discoverd' I MIGHT consider sizing up just one size, though there is a lot of give/stretch----oh, and they do run a bit short in body length, not bad but short-ish, but I'm very long waisted, so not sure that part applies to all.sleeve length and neck/shoulders as they should be with no problem. (For reference: 5'5", 125 or and a 36C , I ordered an XL but could have easily gone much smaller.) I'm seriously considering other colors and most definitely trying just one with the lace LOL!

Pros
  • Perfect for under my slip dress. I just wish the sleeves were a little bit longer.
Cons
  • The turtleneck may be uncomfortable for some wearers
