Layercake Cotton Vest Top
Regular price £75.00Cotton Vest Top sizes run from 00 - UK8-12 to 3 - UK 22-30 (0-3 = U2-26). So please check your measurements against our sizes before you order.
Please note, all orders received between 25 June and 10 July will ship on 11 July.
The Cotton Vest Top perfectly complements our existing range of organic cotton jersey Cocoons. Available in the usual 4 sizes plus the new 00, this top can be sized up or down just like the Cotton Love and Anytime Tops for a more or less fitted look, depending on the silhouette you like. Its main features are its A-line shape, a sweeping neckline that complements your existing Layercakes and a slight sweep to the hemline (so it is a bit longer in the back, just like the other Cocoon Tops). Choose your regular Layercake size for a loose, relaxed fit or a size down for a fitted top that still offers complete freedom of movement.
For an ultimate Lounge Set, combine the Vest Top with a pair of Cotton Baggies, which you can find HERE.
Composition: 95% Organic Cotton / 5% Elastane.
The Slow Wardrobe sizes
We follow our own sizing system, recognising that the traditional system of "ladies dress-sizes" does not account for body shape and height. See how The Slow Wardrobe sizes relate to body measurements HERE.
Shirt / Love Top / Love Tunic / Vest
4 sizes, designed to fit a very wide range of sizes and heights, from a UK size 10 to 28. Check these garment measurements to give you an idea of the fit for each size.
The Love Top is available both in a selection of linen colours as well as a selection of organic cotton jerseys. When choosing your size for the cotton jersey, you can opt for close to no positive ease for a more fitted look (the stretch will give you ease of movement despite a close fit).
NOTE: length measurements are taken from the top of the shoulder straight down to the bottom hem.
