FAQs

What occasions is this top suitable for?

This top is versatile and suitable for casual outings, brunches, informal office settings, family gatherings, and can be dressed up for evening drinks. Its animal print makes it a great statement piece.

How should I choose my size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for Dorothy Perkins. The product details mention it is a UK size 16, and other sizes are available as indicated by variant siblings.

What type of fabric is it made from?

The top is made from a lightweight woven fabric, likely a polyester blend, for comfortable wear.

Does the wrap neckline offer adjustable coverage?

The wrap detail creates a fixed V-shape neckline designed for a flattering silhouette. It is not adjustable.

What type of bottoms best complement the shirred hem?

The shirred hem creates a cropped profile, so high-waisted jeans, trousers, or skirts are ideal for a balanced and stylish look.

Can this top be worn in warmer weather?

Yes, the lightweight woven fabric makes it suitable for warmer weather.

How should I care for the animal print?

To preserve the print, wash the garment inside out in cold water and avoid high heat during drying. Always check the specific care label for the most accurate instructions.

Troubleshooting

Top appears creased after washing.

Ensure the garment is dried flat or on a low heat setting in the dryer if the care label permits. Iron on a low heat setting, preferably while slightly damp, or use a steamer.

Print seems faded.

Review the care label; avoid washing with harsh chemicals or at high temperatures. Consider washing inside out in cold water to protect the print.

Shirring has lost its elasticity.

This is often due to excessive heat during washing or drying. Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions closely for future washes.
