Emerald Infinity Tunic Review
Igigi sent me the Luella Plus Size Infinity Tunic in Emerald for review. Last weekend I decided to wear it on our day trip to Watertown, NY. We spent the day driving, shopping, and eating at the Olive Garden.
The day started off late, I might have accidentally slept in, I admit to nothing. It wasn’t really cold as far as the weather goes, not spring but comfortable with periods of rain and wind throughout the day. I wore a wool peacoat but was able to tolerate the weather for a few outside photos.
This is not my first Igigi top but it is a first for this fabric, a Viscose/Elastane which is soft and somewhat sheer. They doubled up on the fabric over the bust area but it was only one layer on the body. When I say sheer, I don’t mean completely see-through but thin if you hold it up to the light — and sheer enough that the wind blows through. An extra layer might have been warmer but perhaps would not flow quite as nice. This fabric was a fur magnet as soon as I took it out of its wrapping.
When I got to wrapping the ties I decided to go with a double wrap so I wouldn’t have a long tail sticking out from my coat. I like the concept of infinity tops but I feel all clumsy when it comes to putting them into action. I really didn’t know what to do with straps but after the fact I see I tied it differently than it was styled on the Igigi site. I am assuming they just crossed it once and tied a very long bow in back. Mine were so long I felt like I should double wrap it around me. Once tied it stayed in place all day and I pretty much forgot about it.
Over all I love the color and style but the fabric is not a favorite. If you like this one there are only a few sizes left in this style and it is reasonably priced at $68. I hope they continue with this style but experiment with different fabric and colors.
And with that, I leave you with a food p*rn photo from the Olive Garden (the food was amazing).

This top is cute, and that food looks so good!
Jai, it really was soo good. LOL
That color is so pretty on you, but I’m also not a fan of that fabric. I feel like it’s too sheer and it clings in all the wrong places on me. I see it an you and it looks lovely; I put it on my and I look like the poop emojii – oddly triangle-ish with weird rolls. And are those stuffed mushrooms??? Hell yes!! I better get my booty to Olive Garden…..
Cathy, they were so good! I want to go back.
I do like the top but do notice what you said about the thickness of the top in the other areas. It is a pretty color!
Yeah, it’s definitely not one of my fave fabrics.
The colour is great. But I could not wear it without an “undershirt” or it would stick at me too (as Cathy said) and since Menopause, I seem to “smell” more during my hotflashes sweaty periods. And this material seems to increase that effect.
The top is cute and I love the colour but the fabric seems like it would be clingy, and difficult to care for.
