on the fence
loved the style, it looked great on but the yarn would just catch on everything. Maybe if the knit was tighter? I usually just love dennis basso and don't really return anything but i knew if i kept this it would be a holy mess in no time.

JUST THE TICKET!!!!
Just received this item and tried it on right away. I ordered the sapphire in size small. The color is very rich looking and has just enough sparkle with all the tiny sequins, also in sapphire. I purchased this to wear with a black, long sleeved, scooped neck dress. The possibilities for using this vest are endless. It will certainly be a wardrobe stretcher. The knit is lush and very soft, without losing it's shape. This vest will surely make this not so fancy girl look like a princess!!! Thanks, Dennis, for another fabulous piece...... Thinking about ordering the other colors.

Love this vest!!!
I love the fit and style of this vest. It is absolutely flattering to the figure. It is made well and I love the colors. I wish Dennis would make this exact style in other colors without the sequins. I bought this one in both the gooseberry and black, but would like to be able to wear it to school without sequins. Dennis got the cascading effect down the front perfect!!!

Spectacular!
Bought the teal (which they call sapphire). Breath-taking. Ordered the rhubarb, or whatever the name of the color - gorgeous. Just had to get the black. Please, Dennis - don't make it in any other color or I'll go broke!!!! It is so beautiful, so well made - so very attractive. My favorite article except for my 12+ Dennis Basso coats.

Great style
Unfortunately I had to return this because the yarn was so scratchy. I could not stand it on my neck. Loved the style. Please make in a softer material.

GOTTA SEE IT !
This is one that I took a chance on as it looked good on TV but just not sure about 'in person' look... Recd and what a great surprise.. this is much more beautiful when you get it home. The Gooseberry is a fantastic color and I also ordered the sapphire & black but they were delayed in receiving... I wore the Gooseberry for Christmas and got many compliments. It fits great, very slimming and looks FAB with tights and boots! Can't wait until I receive the other colors... GREAT PIECE... Thank you Dennis Basso!
(Not overly blinged... just right for that subtle sparkle look!)

FAB-U-LOUS!
I took a chance and tried this garment. I don't ususally like "vests" but I can't say enough about this one! "Well made" doesn't even begin to describe it. The fit is FAB-U-LOUS! I sized down and I'm glad I did. I don't know how, but this "vest" take pounds off (I'm a 2x) and I love the way the collar falls. The color (I got the blue) is FAB-U-LOUS! It is the most beautiful peacock blue color. The sequins are tiny but throw off some really nice bling. The blue is heathered...there are two different colored yarns used. Beautiful vibrant color. And the feel is, you guessed it...FAB-U-LOUS! Soft soft soft. This is a home run. I am back to order the black! And somewhere along the line, I will get the wine color also.

Real Awesome With Carolyn Pollack Jewelry
This is the perfect turquoise/teal. It looks fantastic with Carolyn Pollack turquoise jewelry. Comfortable and provides coverage for figure flaws when wearing leggings. Just beautiful!

Worth every penny
I purchased this in the black and it is absolutely STUNNING. This is a substaintial piece and you can tell the quality from across the room. I normally wear a medium and probably could have worn the small just as well. Very elegant. You get what you pay for.

5 Stars
I knew this was a winner before it even arrived.
I live in Florida and I just had to have it.
Ordered the black.
Wore it last night with black pants and a white silky scopped neck top and black boots.
My husband commented, "WOW"
This will be a staple in any woman's closet.
FYI--the knit is heavier than most and it will keep you worm.
Also, I would have preferred if the lapel was a tad narrower.Otherwise, it's sensational.

Stunning!
Received this vest in sapphire and black in my normal size XL. I'm 5'7" tall and this is the first vest I have ever tried that is actually flattering on me. The quality is amazing. The sapphire color is a blue/teal shade and it is gorgeous. The length is perfect and it is slimming, which I cannot usually say about a vest. I would recommend you stay with your usual size in this one because it should have some drape to it. Love it! Order it, you won't be disappointed.
