Shirred Purple Top with Antique Mother of Pearl Buttons – L
 

Inspiration struck in a boutique dressing room — Londa spotted this silhouette, snapped a photo, and went home to make it better. The result is this draped, shirred cowl neck top in a richly textured pebbled polyester knit in a sophisticated dusty purple. The cowl drapes beautifully across the front, while a vertical column of shirring draws the eye and creates a naturally flattering, figure-skimming silhouette.

The real stars are the four large antique mother of pearl buttons — each one carved with a different starburst or floral medallion pattern, with the warm iridescence only genuine vintage shell buttons carry. These aren't craft store finds; they're the kind of buttons collectors seek out. They run down the left front panel like jewelry, anchoring the drape and giving the top a finished, designer feel.

Longer tunic length pairs beautifully with slim trousers, leggings, or dark jeans. Long sleeves with gentle ruching at the cuffs. One of a kind, handcrafted in Londa's Tennessee studio.
