Sillage Top

Sillage takes its name from the French word sillage, referring to the subtle trail or lasting impression left in the wake of something beautiful. A light, understated summer top that celebrates texture, drape, and the quiet beauty of linen. Designed for warm-weather wear, Sillage can be layered over a swimsuit on holiday or paired with your favorite trousers or skirt for everyday life. Worked seamlessly from the top down, the body length can easily be adjusted to suit your own style and proportions. If worked in a soft mohair or alpaca blend, Sillage becomes a light layering piece for cooler months. It starts with I-cord straps, from which the front and back are worked flat separately. The pieces are then joined at the underarm, and the body is worked in the round to the hem, creating a clean, uninterrupted silhouette. **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) (7, 8, 9) **Finished Measurements** 76.5 (85, 95, 100, 108.5, 121.5) (131.5, 143.5, 151.5) cm 30 ¼ (33 ½, 37 ½, 39 ¼, 42 ¾, 48) (51 ¾, 56 ½, 59 ¾)” cm bust circumference. 37 (37, 38, 38.5, 40, 41.5) (42.5, 43, 43.5) cm 14 ½ (14 ½, 15, 15 ¼, 15 ¾, 16 ½) (16 ¾, 17, 17 ¼)“ total front length (excl.
