FAQs
Is the entire top transparent?
No, the body of the top features a jersey lining, making it opaque, while the sleeves are intentionally left sheer.
Does the gold zip at the neck actually open?
Yes, the gold zip is functional and can be adjusted to change the neckline depth.
How long is the top?
The approximate length of the top is 65cm, which generally falls at the hip for most heights.
Can this top be ironed?
Use extreme caution. It is recommended to use a cool iron or a garment steamer held at a distance, ensuring you do not melt the delicate lace fibers.
What kind of bra should I wear?
Since the body is lined, a standard bra that matches your skin tone is recommended to ensure nothing shows through the lace pattern on the torso.
Troubleshooting
The gold zip is stiff or sticking.
Gently rub a piece of clear candle wax or a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to lubricate the mechanism.
The lace has developed a small pull or snag.
Use a needle to gently pull the snag back through to the inside of the garment; do not cut the snag as this can cause the lace to unravel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Joe Browns Loretta Lace Zip Top in optimal condition, adhere to the following care guidelines:
- Washing: Hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with a mesh laundry bag to protect the lace fibers.
- Drying: Air dry the garment flat on a drying rack. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the elastic fibers and delicate lace structure.
- Storage: Hang the garment on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder dimples or snagging the lace on wooden hangers.
- Styling: For the best fit, ensure you choose your standard UK dress size. The stretchy nature of the fabric is designed to skim the body rather than provide a tight compression fit.
