FAQs
What is the best way to style this top?
It is best paired with high-waisted tailored trousers or a floor-length skirt to accentuate the peplum-inspired hem.
Is the top stretchy?
The top is made of a structured woven fabric designed to hold its form, rather than a high-stretch material.
What is the length of this top?
This piece has a cropped length of approximately 33cm.
Is this suitable for a black-tie event?
Yes, when paired with formal tailored trousers or a long skirt and appropriate accessories, it is well-suited for formal events.
How should I store this garment?
Store it on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the architectural ruffles.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing shape
Ensure the garment is hung vertically and not stored in a cramped space where the ruffles are crushed.
Fabric wrinkles from storage
Use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric, to gently release wrinkles without flattening the structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the sculptural integrity of the fan-pleated ruffles, avoid folding the garment in a way that compresses the fabric folds. It is recommended to store this top on a hanger to preserve the architectural form of the ruffles. When cleaning, check the internal care label for specific fabric requirements, as the woven material requires careful handling to prevent snagging or distortion. Ensure you are matching this piece with high-waisted bottoms to achieve the intended silhouette, as low-rise options will clash with the peplum-style hem.
