Eyelet cotton & breathable construction
We chose lightweight cotton voile as the foundation for this top because it breathes beautifully in humidity and holds eyelet embroidery without puckering. The fabric weight sits between sheer and opaque—light enough to keep you cool, substantial enough to wear confidently on its own.
Eyelet cutwork runs across the entire garment in a small-scale pattern that reads as texture rather than costume. The perforations allow airflow against your skin, making this a practical choice for June through September. Unlike synthetic eyelet blends that can feel stiff, our cotton base softens with every wash while the embroidery detail stays crisp.
Sizing & fit notes
This top runs true to size with a relaxed, non-clingy fit through the bust and waist. The shoulder seams sit just off your natural shoulder line for a laid-back drape, and the sleeves end mid-bicep—flattering on most arm shapes without feeling tight.
Length falls approximately 25 inches from the high point of the shoulder on a size medium, hitting just below the hip for easy tucking or wearing untucked. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down; if you want to layer a tank underneath or enjoy extra room, your usual size will work beautifully. Our tops collection follows consistent sizing across styles, so your favorite fit translates reliably from piece to piece.
Care & laundering
Machine wash this eyelet top in cold water on a gentle cycle with like colors—the cotton holds up well to regular laundering without special treatment. We recommend tumble drying on low heat or line drying to prevent excessive shrinkage, though a small amount of relaxation is normal for natural fibers.
If wrinkles appear after washing, a warm iron or steamer restores the fabric quickly. The eyelet embroidery doesn’t require ironing around the cutwork—just press the flat areas and the texture takes care of itself. Avoid bleach, which can weaken the cotton threads over time and cause the eyelet edges to fray.

Absolutely. The crew neckline and classic silhouette make it appropriate for business casual settings when paired with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt. Add a blazer or cardigan for more conservative offices, and the eyelet detail reads as subtle texture rather than overly casual.
We offer this style in white, navy, light blue, and blush pink to suit a range of wardrobe preferences. Each color highlights the eyelet embroidery differently—white and light blue showcase the cutwork most prominently, while navy and blush offer a softer, tonal effect.
The cotton voile and embroidery construction are quite durable for everyday wear. While any eyelet fabric can catch on sharp jewelry or rough surfaces, normal use and proper laundering keep the cutwork intact. Avoid washing with items that have hooks or Velcro, and the top will maintain its shape beautifully.
On most people around 5'4", the hemline falls just at or slightly below the hip—ideal for wearing untucked or doing a partial tuck. The exact length varies slightly by torso proportion, but it's designed to hit that flattering mid-hip spot on a range of heights without looking oversized or cropped.
