How many stars would you give it? Would YOU give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down? For me, I think it is a commanding five stars.
Yummy! Did you catch Vanessa Williams wearing this Kimono top on Ugly Betty -- when she prepared the large Thanksgiving meal?
I personally adore the Roberto Cavalli kimono top with the leopard trim. Yummy!
This is my pick for the IT Kimono Top! It is too cool.
Cream with brown/black/gold leopard-print satin trim. Surplice V neckline; tie waist. Wide three-quarter sleeves. 50% silk, 50% cashmere.
I spotted it at Neiman Marcus and eLuxury.
Roberto Cavalli got into the craze with his Tiger Print Kimono Sleeve Dress.
This 100% silk, tiger print semi-sheer dress with deep v-neck was made in Italy. It has extra-long kimono sleeves.
It was available for $1,575.00 from eLuxury and a couple of other websites.
Kimono-style sleeves have been extremely popular in women's dresses, tops, and casual wear.
