Let's talk about the Dokotoo crochet knit top – a piece that's been getting mixed reviews. I've worn mine multiple times now, and here's the real tea.
The Good: This top is *ridiculously* comfortable. The lightweight knit feels like wearing a cloud, and the stretch makes it move with your body effortlessly. I wore mine to a beachside lunch with high-waisted shorts and got tons of compliments on the boho-chic look.
The See-Through Situation: Yes, it's slightly sheer due to the crochet pattern. I followed other reviewers' advice and wore a nude cami underneath – problem solved! The open knit actually makes it perfect for hot summer days when you want coverage without sweating buckets.
Fit Check: At 5'4" and 140lbs, I went with Medium based on their size chart (which is accurate!). The loose fit drapes beautifully without being baggy. Pro tip: The hem knot detail is genius for adjusting length – tied it higher with leggings for a cute cropped look.
Quality Concerns: After three washes (cold, hang dry), mine has held up surprisingly well. No pilling or stretching out yet. However, if you're busty, be warned – the fabric does cling in that area unless you size up.
Final Verdict: For $20-ish? Solid buy if you want a breezy summer layer. Just manage expectations – it's not thick sweater material, but that's exactly what makes it perfect for hot weather layering.
