Story

I awoke in the Midsummer not to call night,
in the white and the walk of the morning:
The moon, dwindled and thinned to the fringe
of a finger-nail held to the candle,
Or paring of paradisaïcal fruit,
lovely in waning but lustreless,
Stepped from the stool, drew back from the barrow,
of dark Maenefa the mountain;
A cusp still clasped him, a fluke yet fanged him,
entangled him, not quit utterly.
This was the prized, the desirable sight,
unsought, presented so easily,
Parted me leaf and leaf, divided me,
eyelid and eyelid of slumber.

– Gerard Manley Hopkins, ‘Moonrise June 19 1876’

There is something so engrossing about the moon. Ever present, it inspires awe even when we aren't looking for it. I designed the Luna with the moon in mind, creating a top that's simple to the eye but bewitching in its details. A wrap top with a simple construction is a sight that presents itself so easily, but Luna's flared hem and ruffled sleeves are what parts the viewer leaf and leaf.

Design Details

• Main: 100% cotton woven in Japan
• Designed, cut, and sewn in Arkansas, USA
• Wrap top with flowy hem and tie waist closure
• Long ruffle-hem sleeves
• This top is sheer, so you may want to wear something underneath it
• Measures 22" long from shoulder
• Hand wash cold, line dry, warm iron as needed (learn more about garment care here)

Materials

This top is made of cotton chiffon woven in Japan. Lightweight, sheer, and with a characteristic dry hand and subtle crunch, this chiffon is a bit more rustic than a classic silk chiffon but no less lovely. It is dyed a true black.

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

Fit

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

The Luna is fitted in the bust and the waist, so use both your bust and waist measurements when determining your size. If you fall in between sizes, I recommend going with the size closest corresponding to your bust measurement, sizing up if you'd like a bit more coverage and sizing down if you'd like to show bit more skin.

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