A singular wearable piece, hand-cut and shaped from the same magnificent antique linen tablecloth as its sister dress. This sleeveless top captures the most spectacular section of the original textile — the grand central lyre motif in drawn-thread work, flanked by scrolling broderie anglaise, and framed by a wide crochet mesh yoke across the shoulders and chest.
The silhouette is relaxed and boxy with a rounded neckline, cap-style shoulders, and a dramatic asymmetric pointed hem that falls to the hip. Worn here over a painted silk skirt, it works equally beautifully over wide trousers, a slip skirt, or denim.

As with all Caramiya pieces, this garment has been carefully assessed and restored where needed. Minor variations in the textile are part of its history and authenticity.
