For these end-of-the-year parties I want a top that is elegant and plush. Stretch velvet is an excellent material that fits the body comfortably, looks gorgeous, and comes in several rich shades. This Stretch Velvet Twist-y Top provides the luxury of velvet in a sexy design.

Becoming fairly popular this season, the twist-y feature has a flirty sense of style. Since the twist is gathered, the material is pulled toward the center, producing a wraparound effect that helps create that hourglass silhouette. An inset empire waist line lets the gathered center flow loosely over your midsection, strategically draping over your trouble zones. This top also comes with long sleeves that are flexible and comfortable in almost any setting.

The rich colors for this top will go with both the fall and winter seasons. Because of the velvet material, each shade has a bit of shimmer to bring out the glow and warmth of these colors. Red, Wine, and Hunter Green are the more vibrant shades. Depending on hair color and complexion, some of these shades may not be right for all buyers, so you should choose accordingly. Black and Brown are more neutral shades, although you may need to add some colorful accessories to give your ensemble some pizzazz. All the sizes do not come in every color though.

Maintenance for this top is not easy, unfortunately. Although this is a polyester/spandex blend, the manufacturers recommend that you hand wash this top.
