The Artless Forever Romy Top is a long-sleeve going-out top cut in soft, sculpted stretch jersey, with precise ruching, draped detailing and an entirely open back.
Highlights
✓Soft, sculpted stretch jersey — the fabric holds its shape against the body instead of hanging off it, so the ruching stays where it was placed rather than relaxing out through the evening.
✓Entirely open back — not a keyhole or a strap detail but a fully open back, which makes the turn away from the room the part people notice.
✓Precise ruching and draping — gathered at set points rather than loosely blousy, so the top reads as deliberate tailoring in a stretch fabric.
✓Long sleeves — covered arms against a bare back, which is why this works in a cool restaurant as readily as a warm one.
✓Six sizes, XXS to XL — the orderable run is XXS, XS, Small, Medium, Large and XL.
This is a night-out top rather than a daytime one. Because the back is open, the decision it asks of you is about underpinnings rather than layering — it is built to be worn as-is, over a high-waisted trouser or a fitted skirt, with the shoulders and spine left to do the work. Our model is 5'10" and wears size XS.
