Dear LoGErs,In preparation for an upcoming move, I am weeding my closet of items I love but seldom wear.
Item: Bilali swing top, size 6 / medium.
Description: This is a lovely royal blue top with cape-like draping from now defunct UK label Bilali. The front seaming accentuates the ¾ length bell sleeves, while the back has a top, cape-like layer which drapes beautifully over the back (the top is constructed all of one piece). It has a retro 1940s yet thoroughly original style. I love it, but have rarely worn it – between 6 and 8 times. I hope someone else will give it the wear it deserves!
The top photos are mine; the bottom two catalog pictures illustrate the item worn, in particular the cape detail in the back.
Size & fabric: UK size 10, which equates to a US size 6 or medium. Runs true to size. Made of 70% viscose and 30% linen (without the usual stiff feel of the fabric). Feels and drapes like a soft cotton.
Condition: Excellent. No signs of wear. I removed the label in the collar because labels tend to irritate my skin, but the brand name appears on the care instruction label inside the garment.
Asking: Bought from Le Train Bleu for somewhere around $130; asking $75, domestic shipping included.
