The Mantell Top is actually similar to the top half of my wedding dress, and I’ve loved this shape on me for decades. As a top, it’s incredibly versatile - the fitted basque slims the silhouette without creating bulk around the middle, while the batwing sleeves bring all the drama and are incredibly comfortable to wear.
I love the contrast of all that volume through the sleeve with a really clean waist. It looks fantastic with everything from a long lean trouser or simple bias skirt to a sophisticated, dramatic evening skirt. You’ll find yourself reaching for this style for years - it just works for so many occasions.
