Sweetheart Top with Lace and Cap Sleeves
Ready to Wear, TopsTheseΒ Sweetheart Tops are made with a luxurious bamboo jersey andΒ feature a gorgeous Leavers Lace panel, carefully cut to accentuate your bust, bringing glamour to your wardrobe. We believe fashion should be versatileΒ and we love how wearable these tops are.
We've tested the fit of these tops on women with all different bust sizes and it consistently flatters, giving an amazing fit for a range of shapes. This is no ordinary 'tee'. Key to the success of this versatile fit are a number of hidden elements, including: β’ Clever patterning drafted to fit and accentuate your own shape (rather than relying on the stretch of the fabric) β’ Designed to accommodate larger busts (so that armholes will not stretch to expose your bra) β’ A centre back seam (allows the top to follow the natural curve of your back) β’ A curved hemline that comes up into small split at the side seams (to give shape and accommodate hips) β’ A longer back to allow elegant, flattering styling over pants and leggings β’ To ensure the long life of this garment, you must wash it in a garment bag, inΒ cold water on gentle cycle. SeeΒ 'Fabric & Care' tab below for all care instructions.
As part of the slow fashion movement, we believe clothing should be sewn to last and we've taken extra care to ensure that the seams of this garment stay strong. Bamboo is an eco-friendly, hypoallergenic and breathable fabric. We spent months sourcing these particular fabrics to ensure the garment could be worn frequently β and with its endless styling potential we're confident you'll love it like we do!
Ebonique Black Satin Skirt with Pockets
Ready to Wear, SkirtsAt VanyanΓs, we believe that elegance goes hand in hand with comfort and utility. This is why our decadent satin skirt hasΒ two generously deep hidden pockets - freeing you of the need for a clutch should you choose.
The skirt is cleverly cut to accentuate your waist and hips, without adding 'bulk' atΒ the front. The luxurious satin is gathered at the back and sides, joining the flat front. The hemline is generous and you instantly want to swish about when you wear it. Why not wear a petticoat underneath for a vintage feel?
This skirt is the height of luxury and we've loved bringing a couture feel to this garment. The skirt is fully lined in cupro (a hypoallergenic, anti-static fabric made from the silky fibres of the cotton plant) which feels incredibly soft against your skin.
Christian Dior once said "You can wear black at any time. You can wear it at any age. You may wear it for almost any occasion." We couldn't agree more.
