Sometimes the simplest things can be the hardest to make. We spent a long time perfecting the cut of this top, which has an easy fit and a longer, not-quite-tunic length that ends in a high-low hem. The neckline can be tied in an oversized bow at the back, or wrapped around the neck a few times and finished in a lower-profile knot. And the fabric is a dream: a luxe, weighty 4ply silk with a finish that's lustrous but not too shiny.
