This is a cut-and-sew top by Alicia Stan. The back style is distinctive and very cute. It's convenient to wear over a swimsuit for sun protection, and you can hop on a train without changing. I used it when I was in a cold place overseas because it can get quite chilly indoors. It's cute and I got compliments from foreigners. I've worn it for about two days, and I don't think there are any stains or wear and tear. It's more of a charcoal black than pure black, so it doesn't look too heavy and is easy to wear.
