Product Insights
Icône's Sheer Beaded And Crocheted Floral Vest offers a designer-inspired aesthetic at $59 CAD—roughly one-third the price of comparable vests—by leveraging Simons' 180-year retail heritage and in-house design authority. The 50/30/20 polyester-cotton-acrylic blend resists wrinkles and pilling while providing warmth and breathability for cool-weather layering, but the sheer tulle construction demands a camisole underneath. Delicate hand-sewn pearls and beads require professional dry cleaning to maintain their secure attachment, adding ongoing care costs; the tradeoff is a high-end, embellished finish from a brand that commits 40-60% of its lines to recycled materials.
Verified claims
- Cleaning
- Dry cleaning is recommended for this vest because the delicate tulle, pearls, and metallic beads may not withstand machine washing, and hand washing could still risk damage.
- Care
- Delicate hand-sewn pearls and beads require careful handling and dry cleaning for longevity.
- Sheerness
- Sheer tulle; requires a camisole, bralette, or top underneath for full coverage, especially since the pearl and bead detailing is concentrated on the front.
- Bead security
- Hand-sewn beads are secure for regular wear but require gentle handling.
- Fabric performance
- 50/30/20 polyester-cotton-acrylic blend resists wrinkles and pilling, provides warmth and breathability.
- Warmth
- 20% acrylic content adds warmth to a sheer tulle vest, enabling cool-weather layering.
- Breathability
- 30% cotton and unlined tulle keep the vest airy and moisture-wicking.
- Fit retention
- 50% polyester preserves the boxy shape and reduces pilling.
- Competitive pricing
- At $59 CAD, roughly one-third the price of a comparable designer vest.
- Brand cachet
- Icône's $59 vest carries Simons' 1840 heritage and design authority.
- Practical considerations
- Requires camisole underneath and dry cleaning, adding to total cost.
- Design authority
- Icône, Simons' house brand, combines a 50-person design team with local designer collaborations and 180 years of retail heritage.
- Craftsmanship
- Hand-sewn pearls and metallic beads add a high-end finished look.
- Sustainability
- Simons has publicly committed to using no virgin materials and moving 40-60% of its lines to recycled content.
- Maintenance
- Dry cleaning is recommended to preserve embellishments.
- Brand credentials
- Simons, the parent of Icône, has operated since 1840 as Canada's oldest family-owned retailer and collaborates with emerging designer Markantoine.
- Visual embellishment
- One buyer reports the beading is flashier and sparklier in person than it looks in the product photos, describing it as a bit too bling for their taste, though they still call the vest beautiful and good quality.

Pretty but not as pictures
This is a cute top. However, the beading is more flashy and sparkly than they look in the photo. It was a bit too bling for my taste. Otherwise, beautiful and good quality.
