M&S)Styled to perfection, the model rocks this festive top with a white maxi skirt and leather square-toe ballet pumps, priced at £35 too. While we couldn't find this exact white skirt, a pretty good match could be this white denim midi option, priced at £65.

Customers who've got their hands on this velvet gem can't help but rave about it, reports Birmingham Live. One happy shopper wrote, "Bought this for the festive season. Love the fitted style, colour and material. Velvet, to me, just sings Christmas."
Another agreed, saying, "This is the perfect top. It is beautifully styled and so comfortable. It is amazing."
The compliments continue with another writing, "Lovely top, great fit, but nice for winter time. Great fabric."
And one more thrilled buyer noted, "This top is exactly like the photo and I'm very pleased with the quality and fit of the size 12. I'm often a size 14 these days, so it's always a bonus when a size 12 fits. It's great for jazzing up a pair of trousers and looks good with a long pleated skirt too. Would recommend."

M&S)There have been some mixed reactions, however, with one pointing out issues with sizing in a critical review: "Beautiful colour and fabric, but the sizing are odd. I'm usually a size 10/12, but the size 12, although very fitted around the waist and torso, was baggy under the arms, around the neck and the sleeves. They were at least 2 inches too long. I may try the 10, but am not hopeful! "
Another disgruntled customer remarked: "This top is so small and has a horrible seam in the middle of the front. Very disappointed."
Additionally, M&S offers a pair of matching velvet straight-leg trousers in teal blue for £45, though sizes may be limited. And those looking to complement the black velvet top can pair it with Finery London's wide-leg trousers priced at £49.
Roman offers an alternative with its Wine Velvet Stretch Top, available for £30. This comfortably loose-fit T-shirt boasts a stylish draped design suitable for any festive occasion, which can be styled with leather pants and heeled boots, and Roman also has a velvet burgundy blazer on sale for £70.
