Product Information
Full details
The Joe Browns Loretta Lace Zip Top is an elegant choice for women seeking a versatile piece for evening outings, ranging from dinners to festive parties. It offers a sophisticated look by combining a stretchy, textured lace overlay with a comfortable jersey lining and a modern metallic neckline detail; however, potential owners should note that the sheer sleeve design requires careful coordination with undergarments or layering for full coverage.

FAQs
Is the top true to size?
Yes, the Loretta Lace Zip Top is designed to standard sizing, though the stretchy nature of the lace offers some flexibility in fit.
What should I wear underneath?
The body of the top is lined with jersey, so no extra camisole is required for the bodice; however, the sleeves are sheer.
Can this be machine washed?
We recommend a gentle machine cycle inside a mesh laundry bag to protect the delicate lace from snagging on other items.
What is the approximate length of the top?
The top has an approximate length of 65cm (25.5 inches), which typically hits at a flattering point on the hip.
Is the gold zip functional or just decorative?
The gold zip is a stylish detail at the neckline that provides a modern edge to the garment.
Does the colour fade?
To maintain the rich teal colour, wash the garment inside out and avoid direct, prolonged sunlight during drying.
Troubleshooting
The gold zip feels stiff
Gently rub a small amount of clear candle wax or a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to lubricate the mechanism.
Lace snagging on jewelry
Put on the top after applying accessories, or opt for smooth, non-prickly jewelry to avoid catching the delicate lace threads.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile for both casual drinks and formal holiday parties
- Comfortable jersey lining ensures a soft feel against the skin
- Modern gold hardware adds a high-end decorative touch
- Stretchy material allows for ease of movement and a better fit
Cons
- Sheer sleeves may feel too cool for outdoor winter events without a jacket
- Requires delicate handling due to the intricate lace material
- Hand-washing or gentle care recommended to preserve lace integrity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always check the internal care label for specific washing instructions. Due to the lace fabrication, it is recommended to wash the item inside a garment bag on a delicate cycle, or hand wash it in cool water to prevent snagging. Avoid tumble drying or using harsh chemicals that could damage the lace or tarnish the gold-tone zip. For styling, the top is highly compatible with leather jackets or tailored blazers during colder months, as the sheer sleeves provide enough breathability to avoid overheating while indoors.
