Story

Light and airy, gentle and unassuming, the Dove conveys multitudes with a slight flick of her wings. With fluttery cape sleeves and a sweet V-neck, the Dove is the shirt counterpart to the Swan Dress yet a standout piece in its own right. Cut on bias in the front and on grain in the back, the top is simultaneously drapey and structured and works well both tucked into or left out of pants and skirts. I love pairing this top with the Falcon Shorts and sneakers for a feminine and playful look, but I've also found the Dove to be the perfect topper for a pair of high-waisted jeans.

Materials

This top is made of khadi (hand-twisted) cotton, crafted in India by skilled artisans on a handloom. It is by far the most airy and delicate fabric I've ever worked with, and its name, Cirrus Gauze, evokes its supersoft, cloud-like handfeel. The fabric has a subtle stripe pattern woven into it that isn't noticeable from far away but it quite prominent up close. By itself, the fabric is entirely sheer, but for this design I both faced the fabric with voile to create a semi-opaque (but no less cloudy-soft) top.

The top is faced with GOTS-certified organic cotton voile milled in India. Lightweight and airy, this voile is one of the softest fabrics we've used to date and is the perfect complement to our Cirrus Gauze fabric.

In addition to the fabric, this top uses organic cotton thread and organic cotton garment labels.

Fit

Take a look at our Size Guide to find your size.

The Dove is fitted only in the bust, so use your bust measurement when determining your size. If you're in between sizes, I recommend sizing up if you'd like a flowier top and sizing down if you'd like a more curve-hugging one.

Sarah is wearing a size 4 and is 5'9" with a 33" bust, 24" waist, and 35" hip.
