One-of-a-Kind Taupe Crinkle Knit Top with Antique Family Lace Size XL — but forgiving fit for many sizes

 

This piece has a story I love telling. The fabric began its life as an evening gown I made and wore with joy — until the day came to give it a beautiful new purpose. Rather than letting that gorgeous taupe crinkle knit disappear into a bin forever, I reimagined it entirely into this flowing, flattering top.

But the real magic? The lace trim on those flared sleeves comes from my own family's antique doilies — delicate, irreplaceable, and now wearable every single day. Vintage abalone buttons add one more layer of timeless charm.

The empire seam under the bust is universally flattering, the 13" side godets give it a wonderful swing when you walk or dance, and the raw-cut edges are perfectly intentional — this crinkle knit was made for exactly that finish.

One owner. One maker. One of a kind. Forever.

Free USA shipping included

SIZE:  Large-Extra Large 

 

FIBER CONTENT:  polyester garment fabric and cotton in the doily sleeve trim. 

 

RECOMMENDED CARE:  I recommend hand washing - mainly due to the abalone antique buttons - so that they don't crack.  Line Dry. 

 

For the perfect fit, compare these measurements to a similar favorite piece in your wardrobe. This ensures you get the flattering, comfortable look you love!
