The Hadley Top is a drapey and sophisticated semi-formal top, perfect for both work and casual outings. With two views offering a jewel neck and pleated back (View A) or a sleeveless V-neck design (View B), both feature geometric center seams and a wide hem, making them versatile and stylish.
Fabric Suggestions: Light to medium weight fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk, rayon, voile or lawn. Avoid fabrics that are too stiff since this top requires a bit of drape. Extra fabric may be needed to match plaids, stripes, or one-way design prints
