The Layla
Sizing Advice
'The Layla' top currently comes in three sizes: x-small, small and medium (we are looking into expanding the size range as we strive to be more inclusive in our sizing!). Please find the exact measurements of each top in the size charts below. The materials used for 'The Layla' are dead-stock and vary slightly between colourways. 'The Layla' in white has slightly more stretch to it and therefore it is recommended to take your usual size. If you are in-between sizes, or have a larger bust, we recommend sizing up in the black. Please ensure however that you have referred to the size guides. If you have any further questions regarding sizing, please contact us here and we will assist you with finding the perfect size!

Top Tip for sizing advice at home: If you have a measuring tape (or you can now use the 'measure' app on your phone!), we would suggest comparing the measurements of 'The Layla' to a top that fits you well, so that you can get the best idea of how 'The Layla' would fit on you.
Washing Instructions
'The Layla' has been handmade using dead-stock materials and the lace detailing under the bust is delicate. It is recommended therefore to either hand-wash your Layla in cold water, or wash on a cold, delicate machine setting (if you have a delicates bag or equivalent this would be the best option to ensure the ribbon and lace are preserved). Lay flat to dry, do not tumble dry.
Manufacturing
'The Layla' has been handcrafted in London by a small family-run business, and each top is a true labor of love. Every broderie anglaise and lace detail has been meticulously handwoven onto each piece, and all materials used are either dead-stock or sourced sustainably. The Layla is made from a high-quality (opaque) fabric which has just the right amount of stretch for ultimate comfort as well as adjustable straps for comfort. The bust area is also double lined so 'The Layla' can be worn bra-less. Fun fact: the lace under the bust is from the same company that supplied the lace for Kate Middleton's wedding dress!
The Story
'The Layla' is inspired by a vintage top Soph found over the summer and fell in love with. As a devout milkmaid lover, Soph could think of no better top to commence her design journey with than this iconic style! Particularly enamoured with the versatility of the hook-eye detailing, Soph's preferred way to style 'The Layla' is with the front open. The name 'Layla' came from the Eric Clapton song by the same name and was chosen as an homage to her older sister whose favourite song is 'Layla' (the live acoustic version of course!)
