A beautiful statement piece. These new tops are so romantic and feminine, made from vintage textiles that have been hand cut into a clean, classic form and finished with a sharp black bind. They look equally amazing and unique whether worn in a cool casual way with old denim or dressed up fancy with a tailored skirt or trousers and special jewellery.
Sometimes women hesitate at wearing pale colours, fearing they wash them out. But! The black binding against the skin eliminates that entirely, giving it a smart edge.
The classic shell shape has a relaxed fit that's been been carefully tailored for the perfect balance between comfortable looseness and flattering fit. Whilst simple, it's not boxy at all, with little design details that hint at feminine curves. So it looks lovely worn loose or tucked in.
- Good shoulder coverage
- Neckline half way between a round and boat neck
-
Bust darts and slight curve at the side seams provide a great fit and a hint at the waistline
- Small pleat in the back for subtle shaping through the lower back
-
Hem finishes at the hip

SIZING & FIT INFO
Average to generous sizing. Model is size 10-12, smaller bust, taller than average, wearing the 10 for a tailored but not tight look.
Please note that the weave of the lace makes each one have varying amounts of give and movement which can subtly affect size and ft, though I recommend choosing your usual size.
