{"product_id":"floral-crochet-top-with-contrast-trim-sunlit-courtyard","title":"Floral Crochet Top with Contrast Trim - Sunlit Courtyard","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAt-a-Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a particular kind of summer top that does all the work while you do none, and this floral crochet top is it. The knit is worked open, so it breathes, and the flowers are crocheted in rather than printed on - blue petals, green leaves, a vine that wanders across the front. A band of blue finishes the neck, cuffs and hem. It goes over a vest with denim shorts and you're dressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrocheted flowers rather than a print\u003c\/strong\u003e - the pattern has texture you can feel, not just look at\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen mesh knit\u003c\/strong\u003e - air moves through it on a hot day instead of sitting against your skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlue trim at the neck, cuffs and hem\u003c\/strong\u003e - frames the shape, so it looks finished on its own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelaxed body with a dropped shoulder\u003c\/strong\u003e - nothing pulls across your back when you reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheer enough to see through\u003c\/strong\u003e - the layer underneath does the covering, so you choose how much shows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers worked into the knit, not sewn on after\u003c\/strong\u003e - no edges to peel or fray the way an applique patch does\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContrast trim in a denser stitch\u003c\/strong\u003e - the neckline and hem hold their shape instead of curling after a wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDropped shoulder seam\u003c\/strong\u003e - the sleeve hangs from further down your arm, which is what gives it the easy line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat lifts this above a plain crochet top is that the flowers are structural. They're worked in as the piece is made, so the pattern sits in the fabric rather than on it, and it keeps its texture from across a room. The blue edging does the job a frame does on a picture. The honest limitation is that the knit is properly open. You can see through it and there's no lining, so it's a layering piece rather than a top you wear on its own. Put a vest under it and it earns its place all summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit and Coverage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's cut relaxed through the body with a dropped shoulder and a long sleeve, so it sits away from you rather than close. Coverage is hip length and see-through, so plan on a vest or a bralette underneath. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFabric and Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's made from polyester, which is what keeps an open knit like this from sagging out of shape once you've worn it a few times. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA plain white vest underneath with denim shorts, the version you will reach for most\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA straw hat and a canvas tote when you are going to be outside for hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold jewellery at the throat, since the round neckline leaves room for it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails You'll Love\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the top you throw on over a swimsuit at the end of the afternoon and somehow end up wearing to dinner.
