Bow Accent Puff Sleeve Top

Two details carry this top and they work together well. The bow sits at the neckline and gives the whole piece its softness, and the puff sleeves lift the shoulders and pull the eye outward, which is what makes the waist below look narrower by comparison. Everything else is left clean on purpose, because a top with a bow and a puff sleeve does not need a third idea competing for attention.

The fabric is 90% rayon and 10% polyester with no stretch. Rayon is what gives this its soft hand and its fluid fall, so the sleeves puff without going stiff and the body drapes rather than holds. Sizes run S through 2XL, with the bust from 39.4 to 47.2 inches and top length from 23.6 to 25.2 inches. Sleeve length runs 16.1 to 17.7 inches across the range. Because there is no give in the fabric, please choose from the measurement table below rather than from your usual size.

Both colours pull in slightly different directions. The light blue is the easier one, and it works with white denim and flat sandals for something bright and uncomplicated. The navy is the one to reach for when you want the top to look considered, and it sits well against black trousers or a midi skirt. Tuck either into high waist jeans and add a heel for an evening out, or leave it loose over straight leg trousers for something softer. Keep necklaces off, since the bow already owns the neckline, and let a pair of earrings finish it instead.
