Be still my beating heart! The Paris wrap top with its loose cut is truly love at first sight. How could it not be, with flirty puffed sleeves, elegant tie, and romantic ruffles? The neckline is finished with bias tape. Altering the length of the top and sleeves according to your taste is a breeze. Would you like our style advice? ? You can have a look here.

Et voilà, it’s a wrap!

Fabric advice

Depending on the look you want, Paris can be made in all kinds of woven fabric, with a fluid drape, or something with more structure. For the latter, poplin, jacquard weave or brocade are all good options. Tencel, a linen blend, or even viscose (crepe) or polyester (crepe) work well for the former.
