FAQs
What material is this top made of?
It is crafted from a high-quality, structured fabric designed to maintain the architectural integrity of the ruffles.
Is the top suitable for machine washing?
Due to the delicate nature of the fan-pleated detailing, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape.
How long is the top?
The top features a cropped length of 33cm.
What bottoms pair best with this top?
High-waisted trousers or high-waisted skirts are ideal to provide a seamless and sophisticated look.
Does the top have straps?
No, this is a strapless, sleeveless design featuring a sweetheart neckline.
What is the best way to store the top?
Use a padded hanger to avoid pressure marks on the fabric and ensure the ruffles have enough space to hang freely without being compressed.
Troubleshooting
Ruffles look flattened or crushed
Lightly steam the pleated areas while the garment is hanging; avoid direct heat from a traditional iron.
Top feels too short when moving
Ensure the accompanying trousers or skirt have a true high-waist rise to compensate for the 33cm cropped cut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure this garment maintains its form, please follow these care instructions:
- Storage: Hang the garment on a padded hanger to avoid distorting the ruffle structure.
- Cleaning: Given the complex pleating, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to prevent the ruffles from flattening.
- Compatibility: This top fits best with high-waisted skirts or trousers; low-rise bottoms will create an unwanted gap at the waist.
- Steaming: If minor creases occur, use a garment steamer from a distance. Do not press an iron directly onto the pleats as this may permanently crush the architectural shape.
