Velma Top - Purple Print

Women's Plus Size - Velma Top - Purple Print

The Velma Top in Purple Print is a relaxed-fit, tunic-style garment designed with comfort and bold style in mind. The print features vertical, "distressed" brushstroke stripes in a sophisticated palette of deep plum, chocolate brown, and bright orchid pink.

Detailed Garment Description
Fabric & Feel (95% Polyester, 5% Spandex): This blend is the "gold standard" for easy-care fashion. The high polyester content ensures the colours stay vibrant and the fabric resists wrinkling, while the 5% Spandex provides a multi-directional stretch. This allows the garment to move with you without losing its shape.
Sleeve Length (18cm): This is a generous short sleeve, often referred to as an "extended" or "drop-shoulder" sleeve. At 18cm, it provides comfortable coverage for the upper arm while maintaining a cool, breezy feel.
Garment Length (82cm): This is a true tunic length. At 82cm, it typically falls to the mid-thigh or just below the hip (depending on height), providing excellent rear coverage and making it ideal for pairing with slim-fit bottoms.
Design Details: It features a classic round neckline and a relaxed, slightly oversized "boxy" cut that drapes effortlessly over the body.

Why You Will Love It
The Print: The vertical lines create a lengthening effect, making you appear taller and leaner.
Low Maintenance: The fabric is "wash and wear"—no ironing required, making it perfect for travel or busy mornings.
Versatility: It transitions easily from a professional office look to a casual weekend outfit.

Best Body Shape for This Style
While this relaxed cut is universally flattering, it is particularly excellent for:
Apple Shapes: The loose midsection skims over the tummy without clinging.
Rectangle Shapes: The bold print and draped fabric add visual interest and movement to a straight silhouette.
Inverted Triangle Shapes: The drop-shoulder and wide hem balance out broader shoulders.

Why it Works for Curvy Figures
Drape over Cling: The Spandex allows the fabric to glide over curves rather than squeezing them, highlighting your silhouette without highlighting "lumps and bumps."
Strategic Length: The 82cm length offers confidence-boosting coverage for the hips and thighs.
Vertical Orientation: The verticality of the brushstrokes draws the eye up and down, which is a classic styling trick to streamline a curvy frame.

Mix and Match Items
Plum/Eggplant: For a sophisticated, monochromatic look.
Chocolate Brown: For a warm, earthy autumnal vibe.
Dusty Rose or Fuchsia: To lean into the brighter pink strokes.
Classic Black: A fool proof way to let the purple tones stand out.

Colour Pairings
1. The "Perfect Match" Neutrals
These colours are pulled directly from the print and create the most seamless, sophisticated look:
Deep Plum/Eggplant: Pairing this with dark purple bottoms creates a long, lean column of colour that looks very high-end.
Chocolate Brown: Since brown is a primary base colour in this print, chocolate or espresso-coloured trousers will look grounded and earthy.
Black: This is the easiest pairing. Black leggings or slacks will make the orchid pink strokes "pop" and look sharp for evening wear.
2. The "Pop of Bright" Palette
If you want to lean into the lighter, feminine tones of the top, use these for accessories or layering:
Orchid Pink / Fuchsia: Match your lipstick, a cardigan, or a handbag to the brightest pink stripe in the shirt to brighten your overall complexion.
Dusty Rose: A softer, muted pink will coordinate beautifully without being too overwhelming.
3. Fresh Contrast Colours
For a more modern or seasonal look, try these unexpected combinations:
Crisp White: Pairing this top with white capris or linen trousers in the summer makes the "slinky" fabric feel fresh and airy.
Deep Teal: Since purple and teal are near each other on the colour wheel, a dark teal accessory or bottom creates a rich, "jewel-tone" aesthetic.
Gold/Brass: Because of the warm brown tones in the print, gold jewellery will look much better than silver. Think chunky gold hoops or a long pendant necklace.
