The Cap Top is a versatile top in our lighter linen. The cap sleeves make it a more summery version of our Love Top which has 3/4 length sleeves. Available in the usual 4 sizes that can 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 Cap Top has 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 Cap Tunic is the longer sibling of the Cap 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), the Cap 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.
Linen Care & Washing Instructions
Every Layercake has washing labels sewn into them, usually in the left side-seam. All our linen is pre-shrunk, unless stated otherwise and can be machine-washed at 40º C and either line-dried or machine-dried. If you machine-dry them, take them out of the dryer as soon as it finishes and hang them up straightaway, then you will not have to iron them.
Our Linen
Linen is one of the world's strongest textiles and most sustainable fashion choices, creating zero waste as every part of the plant is used (for textiles and food). Our linen is all European grown, yarn-dyed and woven especially for us, then boil-washed to pre-shrink it.

Wearability
Linen is not only a Summer fabric, it is also a natural insulator, providing warmth when it is needed and offering the perfect base for a layered look, trapping air between the layers to keep you cozy year-round.
