FAQs
What occasions is this top best suited for?
This top is designed for formal and semi-formal occasions such as weddings, races, cocktail parties, and elegant evening events.
How should I care for the crinkle chiffon fabric?
We recommend dry cleaning only to preserve the delicate crinkle texture and overall quality of the fabric. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
Can this top be styled casually?
While designed for occasion wear, it can be styled more contemporarily by tucking it into tailored trousers. However, its inherent elegance makes it less suited for very casual outfits.
What size should I order?
Refer to the size guide for precise measurements. The fit is regular, but the wrap-waist detail allows for some adjustment. UK size 16 is recommended for those who typically wear that size.
Is the top fully lined?
Yes, the top is fully lined for a polished finish and comfortable, opaque wear.
What kind of undergarments are best with a halterneck?
A halterneck typically works well with strapless bras or adhesive options to avoid visible straps. The design of the neckline offers some coverage.
What material is the top made from?
The top is made from polyester crinkle chiffon.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing definition
Ensure the garment is dry cleaned as recommended. Avoid machine washing or excessive heat, which can flatten the pleats. If minor flattening occurs, professional steaming may help restore the texture.
Bow tie difficult to secure or looks uneven
Practice tying the bow in front of a mirror to achieve a neat finish. Ensure the fabric is smoothed before tying. Refer to styling guides or videos if available for the best technique.
Fabric feels stiff or loses drape
This may indicate improper care. Ensure the garment has not been exposed to harsh chemicals or excessive heat. Professional dry cleaning is the best method to maintain fabric quality and drape.
Top appears too sheer
The garment is fully lined for opacity. If it appears sheer, ensure the lining is correctly positioned and not twisted. If the issue persists, consider layering with a fine camisole if desired, though it is designed to be opaque with its lining.
