Colour: Silver Sparkle
Condition: Excellent
Sold by: Carol H
Seller Notes: Barely worn
Shipping Notes: This Love Top will be shipped by the seller, who is US based. Therefore it will attract an automatic postage charge of £27 (the standard int'l shipping rate) which will compensate the seller for the charges they occur. The seller is not registered for sales tax so there is no tax to reclaim. UK customers will not pay any import tax or duties. Other countries: depending on your location you may be charged import tax and duties by the customs office in your country of residence. Neither the seller nor The Slow Wardrobe has any control over this.
The Love Top is a versatile top in our lighter linen. Available in the usual 4 sizes that can both be worn by a range of different sized and shaped bodies, depending on the silhouette you like. Check the size guide for more details. The Love Top has 3/4 length sleeves, an oval neckline that complements your existing Layercakes and a slight sweep to the hemline (so it is a bit longer in the back). Choose your regular Layercake size for perfect pairing with the rest of your wardrobe.
The Love Tunic is the longer sibling of our Love Top. It only differs from the Top in its length - the Tunic is 20cm (8in) longer and follows an A-line from the waistline down to achieve a beautiful drape around the hips.
A note about fit
Because of the Dolman sleeves (the body panels and sleeves are cut in one piece rather than setting in the sleeves separately, just like the dress of the same name), the Love Top and Tunic are slightly more generous around the shoulders and bust. Therefore, if you are on the cusp of two Layercake sizes, you have the option to size down for a fitted top or size up for a looser fit, depending on your preference. In both cases, it will fit under your existing Layercakes.
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
Love Top / Love Tunic
4 sizes, designed to fit a very wide range of shapes 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.
