I was certainly on the fence about this too, but ended up pairing it with a high waisted skirt which made the shortness of the top a non-issue. I do wish that it came up higher in the front and back to provide a little more modest coverage, but I threw caution to the wind and ended up with lots of compliments (from other women).

Originally rented for a special occasion, but found all the ways to fit this piece into my every day wardrobe. It's a little heavy, but I don't have to worry about it breaking or falling apart.
