FAQs
What type of fabric is this top made from?
The top is constructed from a woven fabric, providing a smooth, structured drape. The belt is made of a contrast satin material.
How should I style this top for different occasions?
For formal events, pair it with wide-leg trousers or a statement skirt. For a slightly more casual, yet still elevated look, tuck it into tailored trousers and wear with flat sandals. It's designed for occasions like gallery openings, weddings, or sophisticated parties.
What is the best way to clean this Bardot top?
Due to the delicate woven fabric and satin belt, professional dry cleaning is the recommended method to maintain the garment's quality and appearance.
Does the belt come attached?
The contrast satin self-tie belt is a separate piece designed to be tied around the waist, allowing for adjustable definition.
What is the fit like around the neckline?
The Bardot neckline sits off the shoulders, complemented by delicate spaghetti straps that ensure a secure and elegant fit without slipping.
Can this top be worn for everyday activities?
While comfortable, the design and fabric lend themselves best to special occasions rather than casual, everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Top doesn't drape as expected.
Ensure the top is properly ironed on a cool setting and worn with appropriate undergarments that don't interfere with the fabric's natural drape.
Belt is difficult to tie smoothly.
Gently press the satin belt with a cool iron before tying. Ensure the fabric around the waist is smoothed out before tightening the belt.
Print appears faded after cleaning.
Refer to the recommended care instructions. Professional dry cleaning is advised to preserve the print's vibrancy. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat.
Sleeves feel restrictive.
The flared sleeves are designed for volume. Ensure adequate underarm movement by not over-cinching the waist belt, allowing the fabric to fall naturally.
