Would this be called a shrug?

I will be listing this eyelet lace mini top tomorrow and I do not know if I can technically call it a shrug. It may have been part of a suit...I am not sure. But I want the right keyword. I don't know if I should call it a bolero, shurg, or cropped top......:wacko:

Thank you....Gail
 
Good question! I have a lace one like this. I've been calling it a bolero top... but that's probably not accurate:wacko:

Your's is cuter than mine, though
 
I tend to think of shrugs as being a knitwear type item, not lace. Personally I'd go for 'cropped top' - maybe do an image with nothing underneath but with jeans or a skirt - showing bare midriff?
 
I would call it a cropped jacket or a bolero jacket.

In my mind, shrugs are knit and very fitted around the shoulder/arm area. They don't close in the front. <a href="http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/projects/mar99_knit.html">Here's an example.</A>

Thanks for the information, Laura. That is the way I pictured shurgs until I did a search on ebay...they are all over the map with style.....with or without buttons, ect. So I thought I would get the real scoop by asking here.:clapping:

I listed it with Crop, Bolero and Midriff in the title......

Thanks everyone for the input....

And now joining a program already in progress..........

Shrug - don't meet at center font, usually knit or very close fitting and sort of 'brief'. Often just covers the shoulders.

Bolero - a short waistlength or less jacket like a matador's that usually has curved front and just meets at CF with either no closure or a frogs or hook closure that lets the edges just butt together.

Crop Top - any short blouse that skims the waist or above. Would close CF or CB
