This top is ideal for formal events such as weddings, christenings, race days, black-tie events, or sophisticated evening parties where a polished and elegant look is desired.
What material is the top made of?
The top is made from a richly textured twill fabric, primarily composed of Polyester, and is lined for comfort and shape.
How should I style this top for different events?
For a coordinated look, pair it with the matching midi skirt. For a more versatile approach, tuck it into high-waisted tailored trousers and accessorize with heels and statement jewelry. It also works well with elegant skirts.

The Bardot neckline is designed with a folded overlay and the structured bodice helps to keep it in place. However, as with any off-the-shoulder style, minor adjustments may be needed throughout wear.

Troubleshooting
Top feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size guide. The structured bodice is designed for a close fit; consider if a larger size or a different style might be more comfortable if the fit is excessively restrictive.
Fabric loses its texture or shape after washing
Always follow the specific care instructions on the garment's label. For textured fabrics like twill, professional dry cleaning is often recommended to maintain the integrity of the material and its structure. If hand washing, use cool water and avoid harsh wringing.
Peplum hem does not lay correctly
Ensure the garment is lying flat and fully extended. Sometimes, minor adjustments to how the garment sits on the body or a light steam can help the peplum fall as intended. Check that the lining is not twisted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This is a ready-to-wear garment. No setup is required. Its compatibility is with formal attire and occasions. For care, refer to the garment's care label. Typically, textured twill and polyester blends benefit from dry cleaning to preserve the fabric's structure and texture.
