We continue to stock Orientique, as it is a fabulous range.. Founded in 1976 they are Australia's leading cotton label which is sold world wide, synonymous with exclusive artistic prints in beautiful natural fabrics of outstanding quality whilst only working with factories that ensure fair wages and working conditions.
Fabric & Style
Manufactured in 100% certified organic cotton sourced with the Global Organic Textile Standard certification, made from certified organic raw materials with care and attention to detail in India, it has a crinkle texture, to maintain the crinkles just roll and twist after laundering to store.
A nicely cut top which is made up of vertical panels, front and back and extra wide on the side seams which makes for a generous cut, it features a V neckline surrounded by fine vertical pleats creating more fabric over the tummy area, the pleating is repeated on the back where the panel is sewn into the yoke. Finished off with short sleeves.
The print of Ibiza blue has been hand drawn by inhouse artists, exclusive to Orientique with inspiration pulled from Persian textiles, a floral based in blues with highlights of pink and soft grey.
Fit & Function
A nice shape in a fabric with no stretch, it is very generously sized with all of the vertical pleating and the crinkled texture. Although this is a crinkle cotton, I did give it a light steam for photographic purposes and to smooth out the packing creases, this also relaxes the fabric leading to a more generous fit.
For a visual size reference I am wearing the 20, am 170cm tall and Apple shaped, it finishes at the top of my thighs. Please note that any other fashion items or jewellery have been photographed for style suggestion only and are not included with the price of this listing.
