Frequently Asked Questions
What occasions can I wear this top to?
The smocked maroon top works across a wider range of occasions than most floral tops. Tuck it into tailored trousers for a polished workwear look during the day. Come evening, pair it with wide-leg pants or a midi skirt for dinner or a date night out. The ditsy floral print and maroon colour also make it an easy pick for weekend brunches or travel days when you want to look put-together without trying too hard.
What does smocking actually do for the fit?
Smocking is a gathered, elasticated stitch that stretches with your body and springs back into shape. On this top, it appears at two points: the sleeve hem and the bottom hem. At the sleeve hem, it cinches the balloon shape into a neat finish at the wrist. At the bottom hem, it creates a gently fitted band that skims the waist rather than hanging loose. The result is a top that has volume in the right places without looking shapeless.
How do the raglan balloon sleeves look on?
Raglan construction means the sleeve runs in one continuous piece from the collar to the cuff, so there's no shoulder seam. That gives the top a relaxed, dropped-shoulder look that's comfortable to move in. The balloon shape adds volume through the arm, which the smocking at the hem then pulls back in. The overall effect is a sleeve that reads as statement and structured at the same time.
What can I do with the frilled neck tie-up detail?
The frilled neck sits at the centre of the top's silhouette and is the first thing you notice in the flat lay. The tie-up detail lets you control how open or closed the neckline sits. Pull it tighter for a more covered look at work. Leave it looser for a relaxed, off-duty feel. It's a small adjustment that meaningfully changes the overall vibe of the outfit.
What sizes are available?
The top comes in six sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL. The smocking at the sleeve and bottom hems adds natural stretch, which gives a little extra give across sizes. The model in the product imagery wears size S.
What is the top made of, and how do I wash it?
It's 100% polyester, which holds the ditsy floral print well and resists creasing during travel or a long day out. Machine wash is fine. Check the care label for temperature guidance before the first wash.
