How this top fits
We recommend ordering one size larger than you usually wear. Silk should never be worn tight — it needs room to drape and move, and a little ease through the bust and shoulder is what gives the fabric its fall. Worn close, silk pulls at the seams and loses the line it was cut for. See the size guide for full body measurements.
Not your size? Made to measure
This piece is cut in UK 8–14 — but our atelier will make it from a UK 6 to a UK 18, to your own measurements, for £50 more. Ready in the same 3–4 weeks.
Ophelia runs small through the bust and shoulder, and silk should never be worn tight — it needs room to drape, or it pulls at the seams and loses the line it was cut for. A piece made to your own measurements never has that problem.
Ivory Mist is a soft, warm white — never stark, never cold. Woven as a jacquard, the colour gains quiet dimension: a fine geometric diamond motif rises and recedes across the surface, catching the light in low relief. It is a white with texture and intent.
The Ophelia shell top is cut for a relaxed, draped fit, falling from a softly rounded neckline into a gentle A-line that skims rather than clings. Sleeveless and weightless, with a gently dipped high-low hem, it has the composed, editorial ease of a piece designed to elevate everything around it. A discreet keyhole button fastens at the back.
Crafted in Vietnam from an 80% silk, 20% viscose jacquard, it carries the soft hand and quiet lustre of silk with the structure the woven pattern lends. Wear it with the matching Ivory Mist palazzo trouser as a co-ord, or mix it across the Ophelia colourways — it was designed to be combined. Tucked into tailoring, loose over wide-leg trousers, or paired with denim, the shell top adapts without ever asking for attention.
