maybe I'm just tall (176cm)
I love the fabric it is breathable but not sheer at all, there is decorative stitching which looks fantastic. the only downside is that it is a bit short on the arms and legs more like 3/4 sleeves and 7/8 legs. I have a much smaller waist too so I am going to take it in for a better fit but I'm sure most people won't have that problem. over all, i can wear this straight out of the bag and it looks brilliant
