Rustic Lace

If ever a piece of clothing whispered “Wear me to the next big thing,” it’s this delightful little bohemian number - one part poetry, one part playfulness. That irresistible airiness? Pure magic, crafted from sheer, embroidered lace and a rebellious sense of romance. From the deep V-neckline - with its double row of open crochet lace trim, thank you very much - to those floaty three-quarter sleeves finished in scallops, it swings between gypsy cool and festival chic faster than your Spotify playlist swaps genres after a glass of Pinot.

Now, let’s talk practicalities: this tunic is less “bare everything” and more “leave enough to the imagination.” The bodice floats gently (never clings) in delicate mesh with intricate embroidery that’d make your nanna’s doilies jealous. And the skirt? Swishes just right - flaring out in a not-too-prissy A-line, anchored with bands of solid fabric for a touch more modesty where it matters. Those finishing touches - bands of sheer lace at midriff and hem, all neat-as-you-like florals and scallops - bring cohesion and whimsy in equal measure.

Go high-key earthy or keep things dramatic (there are several colours on offer), but every version works as an easy layering piece over swimmers or worn solo with boots. Machine wash cold? Tumble dry low? For something so lovely, it’s remarkably unfussy. Besides, who needs stretch when you’re floating about like you’ve finally achieved inner peace at Byron Bay? This is feel-good fashion for anyone who likes their luxury free-spirited and their afternoons sun-dappled.
