There's only one word for this matching set: Glitterific. A versatile tube top and match reversible hooded shawl.

{ colors } Glitterific features black and silver, in a variety of textures.

Tube Top

{ item } I love tube tops, but hate the awkward bra issue involved. Problem solved: this top includes a built-in full shelf bra. Glitterific, baby! Support and a sassy belt... the perfect top for the holiday parties and new year's bash. Looks equally fab with jeans and heels or black dress slacks. Accessorize it disco or demure. This shiny baby is surprisingly versatile. Check out the matching hooded shawl, sold separately. No, you can't have my disco ball.

This party top is a blousey tube top with wide waistband to sit low on the waist / above the hips. Two small pleats above the bustpoints create a flattering fit. The built-in full shelf bra offers support and freedom from awkward strapless bras. A long corded belt is included which can be braided, twisted, or knotted as you please.

{ fit } Size small. This top will offer belly coverage for most babes. (The model shown is long-waisted and is wearing low rise pants.) If you want to be sassy and show some skin the top can be bloused more and/or worn with low pants.

{ materials } The top is made of a synthetic 2-way stretch knit of unknown origin. Metallic silver fibers are mixed with grey and black. The fabric is glittery but not glossy. Belt loops are made from the same fabric and positioned to blend in with the waistband stripes. Belt consists of a trio of cording: 2 black, 1 silver. Shelf bra is made of quality lycra and uses lingerie elastic (smooth on one side, soft on the other).

Hooded Shawl

{ item } This unique garment isn't just Glitterific, it's fully reversible. Sparkle on one side, sleek on the other. Sortof like frosted Mini-Wheats... but, you know, black and soft and wearable. ;) The perfect partner for those holiday parties and new year's bash. It's soft, stretchy, and so comfortable. Check out the matching party top, sold separately.

The extra long hood drapes around the face and neck for a look that is feminine with a hint of sci-fi heroine. The generous shoulder cut allows freedom of movement. I'm a versatility junkie so this garment can be draped countless ways when the hood is dropped. Wear it alone or layered under a vneck or coat. It is lightweight so it's best suited for indoors, such as fending off chilly restaurants and bars. It's also a great way to make a sexy shirt office-friendly by offering coverage that's still fab-o-rama.

{ fit } One size fits most. This hooded shawl stretches to fit most babes and can be worn a number of ways.

{ materials } The metallic side is made of a synthetic 2-way stretch knit of unknown origin. Matte black fabric has metallic threads that glitter when they hit the light. The hood opening is trimmed with silver confetti dot fabric (also known as foil stamp) which has a sequin-like effect.

The black side is made of lovely matte 2-way lycra knit. The hood opening is trimmed with black confetti dot, giving a subtle tone-on-tone glam.

:: DETAILS ::

Zoom! Pow! New Toobz in awesome rainbow and strawberry shortcake stripes.

{ colors } Shown here in the following colors:
Shazam (rainbow stripes with red stars)
Shortcake (pink and red stripes with red stars, outlined in white)

{ item } No need to retire those t-shirts for the winter. Super-fun handmade star appliques on the elbows. Switch the sleeves and wear the stars on the front instead. Yay versatility! Toobz are crazy long and contoured for smooth fit. Thumbhole design keeps hands cozy while allowing free range of movement. Meticulously aligned stripes, reinforced elbows, double stitched handmade stars. Great 3-season accessory. Perfect for those freezing offices and restaurants. Toobz fit easily in your bag or pocket.

{ fit } One size fits most. Toobz hug the arms. The fabric has a lot of width-wise stretch, but the design is contoured to the arm curves.

{ materials } This original, from-scratch design is created using new materials. The sleeves are made from striped ribbed lightweight knit, with 1-way or 2-way stretch. The fabric content is unknown, but a burn test suggests that it is primarily natural with synthetic fibers added, probably a cotton-poly blend.

The stars are made of red midweight cotton/poly, a soft stretch knit that bends with the body. Star appliques are handmade and carefully satin stitched in red with a sewing machine, using 2-3 passes. The elbows are reinforced with knit interfacing to support the area and prevent tears.
