Review on African Print Dashiki Traditional Top For Women By SHENBOLEN by Larry Breeze

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great fabric. Cheap zipper. NO STRETCH. Cut small at the bust.

The material appeared to be Of good quality, thick and most likely authentic wax fabric. The colors were bold and the sewing was fine. However, the zipper felt VERY cheap. It was plastic and with each attempt to move it, it stalled or hit snags. Once I re-zipped the top, I was afraid to pull the zipper down again because I feel that it would have separated and would require a brand new zipper to be installed. Because of this and sizing, I have the top 4 stars, but had it fit (the top is cut really small) o probably would have kept it and simply had a seamstress change the zipper.

Pros
  • Great for travel
Cons
  • The top may not be practical for everyday wear

I love the way I looked in this top. I am 5''5", 170lbs and a full B for reference. I bought a large. I have one issue with the blouse: when I was putting it on, the zipper disconnected from the blouse leaving a space at the bottom. It should be an easy fix but should not happen before even the first wear. The fabric used is stiff which gives the blouse exactly what it needs to stand out. I also purchased the black one which I will review as soon as I''ve had a chance to wear it. I loved wearing the red one and wouldn''t hesitate to buy others as long as I don''t have the zipper issue on my black one as well.
