Drape Top

The Drape Top from Mela Purdie is an elevated piece with a draped cowl neckline and long sleeves. Also, it is crafted from Mela Purdie's Stretch Panne, a midweight velvet with a subtle lustre finish. As a result, it catches the light beautifully from day to evening.

Drape Top Details and Fit

Mela Purdie gives this style a relaxed bodice, so it skims the body rather than clinging. In addition, the long sleeves keep the look polished and complete. Finally, Mela Purdie designs and makes the Drape Top in Australia.

• Stretch, midweight panne velvet
• Japanese fabrication
• Draped cowl neckline
• Relaxed bodice with long sleeves

How to Style the Drape Top

For example, tuck it into tailored trousers for a refined work look. Alternatively, pair it with a satin skirt and heels for dinner or a special event. Meanwhile, a long coat and fine jewellery add easy polish on cooler days.

Because the cowl neckline does so much of the work, keep accessories simple. Then let the soft lustre of the velvet take centre stage.

Fabric and Care

The fabric blends 91% polyester with 9% spandex for comfortable stretch. Also, the Japanese fabrication gives the velvet a lovely drape and soft hand feel. Finally, the top is machine washable, which makes it easy to wear on repeat.
