FAQs
What is the length of the top?
The top features a cropped length of approximately 33cm.
Is this top suitable for machine washing?
Due to the sculptural ruffles and delicate pleating, it is highly recommended to dry clean this garment to preserve its shape.
What type of bottoms should I pair with this?
High-waisted skirts or high-waisted tailored trousers work best to complement the cropped, peplum-style hem.
Does the top have straps?
No, it is a strapless, sleeveless design featuring a sweetheart neckline.
What is the best way to store the garment?
Hang it in a spacious area of your closet to ensure the ruffles remain uncrushed and keep their sculptural shape.
Troubleshooting
Pleats look flattened or wrinkled
Gently steam the garment from a distance, being careful not to apply direct pressure or heat that could soften the structural pleats.
Top shifts during movement
Ensure the top is properly fitted to your size; consider using fashion tape along the inner neckline to keep the garment secure against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the architectural integrity of the fan-pleated ruffles, this garment should be stored hanging or laid flat without heavy items pressed on top. Given the structured design, it is recommended to follow the specific garment label instructions for dry cleaning to ensure the pleating and shape do not lose their form over time. When wearing, ensure any undergarments are compatible with the sleeveless, strapless design to maintain a seamless finish.
