A gothic top inspired by the Victorian corset

This top stands out with its fitted cut that hugs the silhouette and highlights the waist. Its slightly flared bottom creates a lovely contrast with the structured bodice, reminiscent of a peplum corset.

The plaid print combines shades of black, gray, and white. At once dark and graphic, it allows you to create an original outfit without being difficult to style.

The button-down front reinforces the garment's vintage feel and creates a vertical line that visually lengthens the torso.

Romantic puff sleeves

The short puff sleeves immediately add volume and character to this top. Gathered at the shoulders, they evoke antique blouses and Victorian dresses while leaving the arms free.

Their generous shape balances the very fitted cut of the bodice and brings a romantic touch to the whole look. They are perfect for fans of gothic Victorian, romantic, or dark coquette styles.

A feminine neckline trimmed with lace

The rounded, open neckline highlights the neck and upper chest. It is accentuated by a black lace border that provides a delicate finish to the tartan pattern.

This lace is also found around the button-down front and at the waist, creating visual harmony across the entire top. It softens the graphic character of the plaid while accentuating its gothic aesthetic.

The neckline can be embellished with a choker, a cross pendant, or a Victorian necklace. However, the accessories shown in the photos are not included with the garment.

A fitted and slightly flared waist

The center part of the top is designed to cinch the waist and highlight your curves. The cut then becomes slightly flared at the hips thanks to a ruffled finish.

The bottom plaid ruffle is trimmed with black lace, which adds movement and a particularly feminine touch to the silhouette.

This contrast between a fitted waist and a flared bottom helps structure the outfit while maintaining a comfortable and flattering look.

Care instructions

To preserve the plaid, gathers, and lace finishes, wash this top at a low temperature on a delicate cycle.

Preferably place it in a laundry bag and close the buttons before putting it in the machine. Avoid bleaching agents and tumble drying.

Let it air dry naturally on a hanger. If ironing is necessary, use a low temperature and avoid ironing directly over the lace.
