cottagecore-style cropped top
Neckline & Bodice: The top has a sweetheart-style neckline trimmed with delicate eyelet lace or crochet detailing. The bodice is structured with light pleating or ruching, which adds texture and volume to the chest area.
Lace-Up Detail: On the side (or potentially the back, depending on how it's worn), there is a corset-style lace-up feature with silver-toned metal grommets. This allows for a bit of adjustability in the fit and adds to the "milkmaid" aesthetic.
Sleeves: It features exaggerated puff sleeves with elasticated cuffs. These are designed to be worn either on the shoulders or pulled down for an off-the-shoulder look.
Hemline: The bottom of the top finished with a peplum-style ruffle, which enhances the cropped silhouette and creates a flared look at the waist.
Fabric: The material appears to be a lightweight cotton poplin or a similar woven blend. It has a slight crispness to it, which helps the puff sleeves and ruffles hold their shape, though it does show some natural wrinkling.
