Cut on the bias in 16 momme silk crepe de chine, which has a dry hand and a matte face, so it reads as a top rather than as lingerie under an office light. The straps are 8mm and adjust through metal sliders, bar-tacked at four points front and back, because a bias camisole fails at the strap join before it fails anywhere else. Front and back are each cut in one piece with a straight neckline and a shallow underarm curve that covers a bra strap, and the side seams are French-seamed and long enough to stay tucked into the Vigil pleated trouser when you raise your arm. Wear it under the Smoulder tailored blazer for a Sydney dinner, alone on a Perth evening in February, or with the Filament waistcoat and wide trousers at a Barossa long table lunch.
We choose our cloth from long-established mills in India, where these fibres have been woven for generations, and hold every roll to the same standard before it is cut. Your piece is then made up by hand in our Australian atelier.
Wash cool and gently, dry in the shade, and press on a low heat. Silk and linen are happiest dry cleaned.
Australian sizing, AU 6 to AU 16. Cut true to size. Between sizes, take the larger for a relaxed line.
Made to order in limited runs and dispatched from our Australian atelier within 5 to 7 business days. Free shipping on every order, or fast shipping for $5. 30-day returns on unworn pieces with tags attached.
Australian sizing, measured in centimetres on the body. Between sizes? The fit note on each piece says whether to go up or down.
