Puff Sleeve Smocked Cropped Denim Top — Product Details

How to measure this top

Measure the garment laid flat on a smooth surface. For greatest accuracy, compare these measurements to a similar item you already own that fits the way you want.

1. Bust (chest): Lay the top flat and smooth the fabric without stretching the smocked panel. Measure straight across from underarm seam to underarm seam. Double this number to get the full circumference (e.g., 40 cm flat → 80 cm bust).
2. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
3. Sleeve length (puff sleeve): Measure from the shoulder seam (cap) down to the end of the sleeve. If the sleeve has an elastic cuff, measure the cuff opening flat and double it for circumference.
4. Body length (center back): From the highest point of the shoulder (near the neckline) straight down to the hem.
5. Hem (cropped opening): Measure across the bottom hem flat and double for circumference.
6. Smocked stretch check: For smocked areas, take two readings: unstretched (laid flat) and gently stretched to a comfortable limit. This gives a fit range rather than a single number.

Quick conversions: 1 in = 2.54 cm. Use a soft tape measure and record both cm and inches if possible.

Materials

Construction combines classic denim structure with elasticized smocking. Typical components include:

• Main fabric (denim): Woven cotton denim — commonly 100% cotton or a cotton-rich blend for structure and breathability.
• Smocked panel: Elasticized smocking uses elastic yarn/threads (elastane or polyester-elastane yarn) combined with the base fabric to provide stretch and recovery.
• Trims & thread: Metal or coated-metal hardware (buttons/zips) and polyester or cotton/poly sewing thread.

Note: exact fiber percentages and trims may vary by production batch. For precise composition and care codes, consult the product label or product-details section on the product page.

Model & fit

Reference details to help visualize fit:

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Model measurements: Bust 32" (81 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 35" (89 cm)
• Wearing size: S
• Fit notes: Smocked bodice offers stretch and adapts across a range of bust sizes. The top is cropped — pair with high-waisted bottoms for balanced coverage. If you prefer a roomier fit at the bust or around the torso, consider sizing up.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Turn garment inside out before washing to protect the denim face and trims.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and strong stain removers.
• Wash with similar colors; wash separately or with darks for the first few washes to prevent dye transfer.
• Avoid fabric softeners and high heat — heat can shorten the life of elastic in smocking.
• Air dry flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying whenever possible to reduce shrinkage and preserve elasticity.
• If ironing is needed, iron inside out on low heat and avoid pressing directly on smocked areas (use steam or a pressing cloth instead).
• For stubborn stains or heavy soiling, follow the garment care label; dry cleaning is generally safe if specified.
• Storage tip: fold to avoid overstretching the smocked sections; if hanging, support the garment so the smocked area is not pulled out of shape.

Style tips

• Double-denim: Pair with high-waisted jeans in a slightly different wash for a coordinated but modern look. Finish with white sneakers for daytime ease.
• Feminine contrast: Tuck into a high-waisted midi skirt and add sandals or block heels for brunch or a date.
• Layering: Throw on a cropped blazer or lightweight cardigan for cooler days — the puff sleeves add interest under structured layers.
• Accessories: Keep necklaces short and delicate to complement the neckline; hoop earrings and a slim belt over high-waisted bottoms define the waist.
• Seasonal swaps: In summer wear with shorts or a flowy skirt; in fall/winter pair with high-waisted trousers, ankle boots and an oversized coat.
• Occasion styling: Dress up with tailored pants and heeled sandals for an elevated evening look, or style more casually with denim shorts and layered necklaces for a festival-ready outfit.
