Fine black lace with a round neck and long sleeves, cropped to 18 inches and lined all the way through.
Highlights
✓Long sleeves in lace — covered arms and an open weave at the same time, which is the trick this top is built on.
✓A plain round neckline — nothing competing with the lace, and enough room above it for a necklace or a collar.
✓Back zip closure — it fastens behind, so the front stays an unbroken run of lace with no placket through it.
✓90% nylon, 10% spandex lace, fully lined in polyester — nylon is what makes a fine lace strong enough to wear, the spandex gives it a little recovery, and the lining means it is opaque where it matters.
✓Cropped at 18 inches on a size Small — 17 inches across the bust on that size. It stops at the waist, so it was cut for high-waisted pieces.
✓Hand wash cool and dry flat — a fine lace snags on zips and hooks in a machine drum, and black lace keeps its depth out of hot water.
Black lace with long sleeves is the most useful version of a going-out top, because it covers as much as a jumper and still reads as evening. Over a high-waisted black trouser it is close to a column; over dark denim it stops being formal at all.
