'dressed to the nines' pleated silk detailed modern top
This is a most artistic, sophisticated top in terms of a versatile blouse that you can wear for all occasions, from casual to dressy. The clever reference to 9s draws on one of the number that is prominent on the shoulder, painted in bronze. Made out of pleated silk for the most part (washable), it will follow your body (has quite a bit of stretch to it). It has lots of intricate subtle detailing like a bit of texturing embroidery in the front in the knit silk portion, little buttons on the cuffs, signature 'ridges' in back that mimic the argyle lines of the front, pocket in the front that blends in and more. A most beautiful piece that is tribute to modern clothing you will enjoy wearing. Product code: N4742

Very brief cold water hand wash, a few drops of mild detergent, always separately, spin in washer and dry on medium, or air dry and finish in dryer to soften. Also can be dry cleaned by mild methods, or dry cleaned in dryer at home with a store-bought kit. Do not use stain removers, spot treaters or bleach pens. Contact us for any advice, if needed.
All garments arrive to you freshly cleaned, unlike regular store-bought items, and are ready to wear.
Dry-cleaning is ok on most items but only if gentle methods are used and the cleaners are familiar with cleaning hand-painted delicate fabrics.
To freshen up any item that doesn’t need deep cleaning simply mist it with a water spray and put in the dryer on medium heat for about 15 min.
All garments can be hand washed. Wash each item separately, cold water only, minimal amount of detergent, and as briefly as possible, no soaking. The wash can be followed by a spin in the washer and dried on medium heat until dry. Knits should be hung-dried and when dry, finished in the dryer for a few minutes to soften.
Hand-pressing may be necessary after the wash and dry to straighten out the seams and edges which tend to pucker or curl on natural fabrics.
Some hand-dyed items may leak a bit of color during the washing, that is normal and will not affect the item. Using liquid softener during the wash will minimize any color leaking.
For more tips and details please refer to the cleaning instructions card included with your package.
