Layercake Cotton Vest Top
Regular price $98.00Cotton Vest Top sizes run from 00 - UK8-12 to 3 - UK 22-30 (0-3 = U2-26). So please check your measurements against our sizes before you order.
The Cotton Vest Top perfectly complements our existing range of organic cotton jersey Cocoons. Available in the usual 4 sizes plus the new 00, this top can be sized up or down just like the Cotton Love and Anytime Tops for a more or less fitted look, depending on the silhouette you like. Its main features are its A-line shape, a sweeping neckline that complements your existing Layercakes and a slight sweep to the hemline (so it is a bit longer in the back, just like the other Cocoon Tops). Choose your regular Layercake size for a loose, relaxed fit or a size down for a fitted top that still offers complete freedom of movement.
For an ultimate Lounge Set, combine the Vest Top with a pair of Cotton Baggies, which you can find HERE.
Composition: 95% Organic Cotton / 5% Elastane.
The Slow Wardrobe sizes
We follow our own sizing system, recognising that the traditional system of "ladies dress-sizes" does not account for body shape and height. See how The Slow Wardrobe sizes relate to body measurements HERE.
Shirt / Love Top / Love Tunic / Vest
4 sizes, designed to fit a very wide range of sizes and heights, from a UK size 10 to 28. Check these garment measurements to give you an idea of the fit for each size.
The Love Top is available both in a selection of linen colours as well as a selection of organic cotton jerseys. When choosing your size for the cotton jersey, you can opt for close to no positive ease for a more fitted look (the stretch will give you ease of movement despite a close fit).
NOTE: length measurements are taken from the top of the shoulder straight down to the bottom hem.
