They only have the back view shown in black stripe:
This top can be worn backwards - I always think it's a nice feature but really only wear them one way anyways:
So I got this top in size XS and it actually fits pretty loosely. I would have liked to try the size down. I didn't realize when I ordered it that sale items were final sale. But I emailed them nicely anyway to see if they could make an exception (Splits59 lets you return or exchange if you are unhappy with their sale items even though they say final sale too), and they completely ignored my email! It's been over a week so I don't think I'll ever get a response. Whatever. I decided after I emailed them that I was going to keep it anyways. But it kind of ticks me off that they can't even bother replying to say "no". So maybe I don't love them as much as I used to! Sorry, but customer service is a big deal especially when we are paying this kind of prices.
But, I did decide that I don't really mind the looser fit, and that I could use a lightweight top like this a lot in LA. I could even wear it to work. So even though it feels very thin and almost like it shouldn't be worth the $53 sale price ($71 originally!), the versatility does add value to it. And, it's pretty soft and comfortable, and I had an additional 20% off so I paid about $45 after tax. Not a steal, but not that bad either.
Actually not too baggy looking from the side at all:
I do like the color too - I already knew I would, because I have their Gathered Legging in nutmeg and love them.
This is how it looks if I wore it reversed - this way feels way bigger since the back becomes so open:
I love open back shirts, but I think it would slide off my shoulders really easily if I wore it this way. Too bad! I almost like this version better.
Ohhhh well! Next time I'll know what kind of service to expect...
