A sleeveless black lace vest with a V-neck and a buttoned front — lined, and cut short at 19 inches.
Highlights
✓A 65% cotton, 35% nylon lace over a 100% polyester lining — the lining sits between you and the open lace, so the lace is decoration rather than something you feel against skin.
✓19 inches long, 17.5 across the bust and 14.5 across the waist on a size Small — short and close through the body, so check those flat widths against a fitted top you own.
✓V-neck, sleeveless, buttoned down the front — it works as a top on its own, or open over a blouse as the layer that finishes an outfit.
✓Sleeveless lace is not a warm layer — on a cool evening it wants a jacket over it rather than being the outer piece.
✓Wash it cool and lay it flat — open lace catches on zips and hook fastenings, so keep it clear of both and the surface stays intact.
Black lace is the shortcut to looking dressed without changing anything else: over a plain black top with trousers it is an evening outfit, and over a white shirt it is not. At 19 inches it finishes at the high waist, so it wants a high-rise trouser or skirt under it.
For the same look in a longer piece, the Lace Theory black lace pencil midi skirt is a lined black lace midi at 34 inches. More vests and tops are in women’s tops and the Flying Tomato range.
