How to measure

  • Shoulder width — across the back, from the edge of one shoulder straight across to the edge of the other. Keep the tape level.
  • Upper arm — around the widest part of your arm, usually around the bicep. Snug, but not tight.
  • Bust — around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level across your back. Do not pull it tight.
  • Waist — around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the belly button.

These are body measurements, not garment measurements. If you fall between two sizes, choose the larger for a more comfortable fit.

Everything is made to order, so if you would like something adjusted to your measurements, just send me a message before ordering.

Romantic, structured and quietly dramatic, this cropped bolero is made from a luxuriously soft blend of brushed alpaca, merino wool and cashmere — warm, light and beautifully soft against the skin.

Full, gathered leg-of-mutton sleeves rise softly at the shoulder, then narrow into long, fitted forearms, giving the piece its Victorian-inspired shape. The open front falls into a soft shawl collar, and the cropped length sits just above the waist, framing a lace bodice or fitted gown without hiding it.

Layered over a wedding dress for a winter ceremony, worn with a silk skirt for an evening event, or paired with a simple dress for special occasions, it brings a sculptural, romantic finish to any look.

Garment Care

  • Hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent, or use a wool cycle at 30°C.
  • Do not wring or twist. Press the water out gently, then roll in a towel.
  • Dry flat, away from direct heat and sunlight, reshaping while damp.
  • Do not tumble dry and do not bleach.
  • If needed, press on a low setting with steam, holding the iron just above the surface — never resting it on the knit.
  • Mohair and alpaca settle in storage. A gentle shake will bring the halo back.

Made from natural fibres, so a little gentleness goes a long way — treated well, these pieces last for years.
