Quick answer

The Romantica Puff Sleeve Top is a slim, hand-draped wrap top in sheer cotton with bamboo contrast panels, so it fits close through the torso and relies on the back tie for adjustment. Order your usual size if you want that wrapped, body-skimming line, and plan your underlayer before it arrives because the body fabric is deliberately sheer. If you prefer a loose or covered-up fit, this is not the top to choose.

What the Romantica Puff Sleeve Top is actually made of

The body is sheer 100% delicate soft cotton, and the contrast panels are lightweight 100% bamboo. That combination is why the top reads as two different fabrics in one garment: the cotton drapes softly across the bust, while the bamboo adds structure where the panels sit. Because the cotton is sheer by design, opacity is not a flaw to fix with a bigger size. Sizing up will not make the body fabric opaque; it will only change how the wrap sits on your frame.

How the wrap closure changes the fit

The fabric is hand-draped to wrap across the bust, cross at the neck, and tie into a bow at the back. That back tie is your main fit control, not the shoulder seam or the sleeve. You can tighten it for a closer cross-over at the neck or loosen it for breathing room through the chest. The torso is cut slim, so the tie is doing real work rather than just decorating the back.

What to wear underneath a sheer wrap top

Treat the underlayer as part of the outfit rather than a hidden necessity. A seamless bra or camisole in a tone close to your skin keeps the focus on the drape and the bow. A contrasting camisole turns the sheer cotton into a visible design layer, which suits evening styling better than a plain nude base. Test your chosen underlayer in daylight before you commit to it, since sheer cotton shows colour shifts that indoor lighting hides.

Styling puff sleeves without adding bulk

The soft puff sleeves lend volume and balance to the silhouette, so keep the lower half clean and relatively close to the body. A straight or slightly tapered trouser, a bias-cut skirt, or a slim column skirt lets the sleeves stay the focal point. If you pair the top with something voluminous, the puff sleeve competes instead of balancing, and the whole outfit reads wider than it is. Keep jewellery minimal around the neck as well, because the cross-over and bow already occupy that area.

Pre-order timing and what to confirm before you buy

This top is listed as a pre-order and is tailor-made in the studio, so the practical question is not only fit but timing. Confirm the current dispatch window with the store before you plan it for a specific date, and check the size options available at the time you order. If your date is fixed and close, a made-to-order piece may not be the right choice regardless of how well the fit suits you. If you need something ready to wear now, the 2-Way Singlet Espresso is a simpler layering option in 95% cotton.

Romantica Puff Sleeve Top questions, answered

Does the Romantica Puff Sleeve Top run true to size?

The torso is cut slim and the wrap is adjusted by the back tie, so start with your usual size and use the tie for fine-tuning. Sizing up changes how the wrap crosses rather than making the sheer cotton more opaque. If you are between sizes, size for the bust and adjust with the tie.

Is the fabric see-through?

The body is sheer 100% delicate soft cotton by design, while the contrast panels are lightweight 100% bamboo. Plan an underlayer as part of the look rather than expecting the top to be opaque. Choose your bra or camisole before the top arrives.

Can I wear it to a daytime event?

Yes, with a clean underlayer and a simple lower half such as a straight trouser or bias skirt. The soft puff sleeves add volume, so keeping the rest of the outfit close to the body keeps the balance. Let the sleeves be the statement and keep everything else quiet.

How should I handle the pre-order timing?

The top is tailor-made in the studio and listed as a pre-order. Confirm the current dispatch window and available sizes with the store before committing to a fixed event date. If your date is close, choose a ready-to-wear piece instead.
