V-Neck Top with Scalloped Neckline and Lace Short Sleeves, Tan

A V-neck top with lace where the sleeves are

This V-neck top keeps the body plain and puts the detail at the edges. The neckline has a scalloped rim, and the short sleeves are made of sheer lace in the same pale colour.

It is 100% polyester with no stretch, in a colour the supplier calls tan. Sizes run from S to XL and it washes cold in the machine.

At a glance

The piece: a lace-sleeve tee by Perfee

The top is sold under the label Perfee. The supplier lists it as a V-neck lace short sleeve T-shirt, with lace as its feature, no stretch, 100% polyester, and imported without a country.

The supplier says T-shirt. With a woven-looking body and no stretch it wears more like a blouse you pull over your head. In the photos the lace has a floral pattern and you can see skin through it.

Who it's for

For you if you want something dressier than a basic tee and less fuss than a buttoned blouse. The body covers, and the sleeves let air and light through. It is a kind top for warm days when you still want your upper arms covered a little.

Fabric and feel: polyester body, lace sleeves

The supplier gives one composition for the whole top: 100% polyester. It lists no stretch. In the photos the body fabric is matt and hangs straight, and the lace sleeves are open enough to see through.

The supplier does not mention a lining. With a pale colour like this, a skin-tone bra is the safe choice.

Fit and silhouette: straight and easy

Size M has a bust of 98 cm, a length of 62.5 cm and a shoulder width of 35.6 cm. The sleeves are short, 24.9 cm to 26.9 cm across the sizes. Each size up adds four to six centimetres at the bust.

There is no stretch, so the bust figure is the one to check. Measure a top that fits you well across the chest and choose the size that matches or sits just above it.

Size chart (cm)

Source: the supplier's size chart, given in inches and converted to centimetres by us (1 inch = 2.54 cm). Measurements are taken on the garment, so allow a centimetre or two either way.

Styling: shorts now, trousers later

The photos show it with pale jeans shorts, a belt and a straw hat. That is the holiday version.

The same top tucked into wide cream trousers or a dark pencil skirt goes to work. In autumn it sits well under a blazer, where the scalloped neckline still shows.

Occasions

Wear it for lunch outside, a day at the office, a family birthday or a summer evening in town. It is neat enough for most invitations that do not say black tie.

Care: wash cold, mind the lace

The supplier says machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Lace catches on zips and hooks, so a laundry bag is a good idea, and wash it with other pale colours.

The wow detail: the scalloped neckline

The lace sleeves get noticed first. The detail we like more is the neckline: a row of small curves that follows the V down to its point. It frames a necklace nicely, and it is the kind of finish you usually find on something far more formal.
