Acler Himley Top, Pecan

$299.00

Australian sizing.

Complimentary delivery on this piece, Australia-wide.

The ruching is doing structural work. Gathered across the bust and the waist, it shapes the Himley the way seams would shape a bodice. It lets a top cut from suiting cloth sit close without pulling.

The cloth is Acler's suiting, mostly polyester with viscose and small amounts of elastane, lyocell, acetate and wool. Acler rates it no stretch, so the shape comes from the cut. Adjustable shoulder straps set the height. It is fully lined, opaque and closes with an invisible zip at the centre back.

Pecan is a warm mid brown. With tailored trousers it is a suit without the jacket.

Acler is an Adelaide label and cuts in Australian sizes, which are the same as UK sizes, so the number on the label is your Australian size. An Acler 8 is an AU and UK 8, a US 4 and an Italian 40. The measurements below are the house's own, in centimetres, taken from the body rather than the garment.

Size chart

AU / UK US Italy Bust Waist Hip
6 2 38 81.5 64.5 91.5
8 4 40 84 67 94
10 6 42 89 72 99
12 8 44 94 77 104

16 12 48 104 87 114

Measurements in centimetres. Body measurements, not garment measurements. The house treats its chart as a general guide and notes that some styles fit differently.

Choosing between two sizes

Acler designs by draping, so the fit changes from style to style and each piece carries the house's own note on how it sits. Where a bodice is designed to be fitted, the house recommends sizing up if you are between sizes. Its model is 175cm and wears an AU 8. Acler also gives garment measurements for a particular piece on request. We are happy to measure any piece we hold.

How to measure

Bust: around the fullest part, tape level across the back.
Waist: around the narrowest part, usually just above the navel.
Hip: around the fullest part, feet together.

Shoes

Acler shoes are labelled in European sizes. Each pair carries its own size line. We can check a pair against your usual size before you order.

Caring for Acler

Leather shoes and boots: wipe with a soft cloth to lift dust. For marks, use a damp cloth with mild soap and let them air dry away from heat. Apply a leather protector before wearing and keep them out of prolonged sun and wet weather. Store them somewhere cool and dry and condition the leather now and then so it stays supple.

For clothing, follow the care label sewn into the piece.

Still not sure
