About this piece
The layer that makes a cold day straightforward: a fine rib with a mock neck, long sleeves and enough stretch to follow the body without gripping it. It is the top we put under everything — under a slip dress, under a blazer, under a pinafore — because the collar finishes the neckline so the outer layer does not have to.
Fabric and feel
A fine stretch rib with a smooth face and a soft, slightly dry hand. It is thin enough to layer under a fitted dress without adding visible bulk, and dense enough that it does not go sheer across the bust. The rib runs vertically throughout, which visually lengthens the body and — more practically — gives the knit its ability to stretch across the shoulders and recover without distorting.
Cut and fit
Close to the body through the chest and waist with a straight sleeve finished at a narrow ribbed cuff. It finishes at the hip, which keeps it secure under a skirt or trouser waistband. The collar is a mock neck: it stands about four centimetres high and folds nowhere, so it reads as a clean neckline with a jacket and as a warm layer without one.
Making a mock neck that does not sag
A mock neck is a narrow tube of knit, and narrow tubes of knit are exactly the shape that loses tension first. Ours is knit as a continuous rib so the collar has no cross seam and no weak point at the back, and the rib direction runs around the neck rather than up it. The result is a collar that stands on its own and keeps its height after washing instead of slouching into a crew neck.
Sizing notes from the studio
Model is 172 cm and wears S. The top is a close fit with roughly ten centimetres of stretch across the bust, so the chart's relaxed measurement is the honest one for choosing a size; if you are between sizes, take the larger, since this piece is designed to layer rather than compress. The sleeve is long, and the narrow cuff can be turned back if your arms are shorter than average.
Seamless knit collar
Knitted as a continuous rib, so there is no cross seam to weaken or rub.
Layers without bulk
Fine enough to wear under a fitted dress without a visible ridge.
Narrow rib cuff
Sits at the wrist and can be turned back one notch if needed.

How we would wear it
- Under a slip dress
The tallest collar under the lowest neckline is the easiest autumn formula.
- With tailoring
Wear it under an unbuttoned wool blazer and skip a collared shirt entirely.
- Tonal layering
Choose Smoke or Brown to sit under a camel coat without a contrast line.
- Weekend
Tucked into high-waisted denim with a flat boot.
In the box

Care
Hand wash cool or machine wash on a delicate cycle in a mesh bag. Lay flat to dry and shape the collar while damp so it keeps its height; hanging this top while wet is what shortens a mock neck over time. Do not iron the collar flat. Separate the darker colourways for the first washes, and avoid bleach and softener on the rib.
Questions we get asked
It is knitted as a continuous rib with no cross seam, and laid flat to dry rather than hung wet, so the collar keeps its stand. Ironing it flat is the one thing that will undo that.
Yes, that is what it is designed for. The knit is fine enough that it does not leave a visible ridge under a smooth dress or a fine-gauge knit.
Roughly ten centimetres across the bust. Choose by the relaxed measurement in the chart and take the larger size when between sizes, since the top is meant to layer.
