Tahari — Surplice Top | Paisley print, crossover V-neck in petite · Sz 10P

A print with a centuries-old story, worn with the ease of a Tuesday morning.

Tahari Arthur S. Levine built its reputation on accessible polish — pieces that translate effortlessly from a desk to a dinner without demanding much of the wearer. This surplice top, produced between 2017 and 2021, is a quiet example of that ethos: a classic paisley motif reinterpreted in a stretch-forward fabrication that moves with the body rather than against it.

95% polyester, 5% spandex in a fluid, wrinkle-resistant hand. The print runs black ground with red, white, and gray accents — graphic without being loud. The crossover V-neck is finished with decorative trim at the neckline, adding a note of structure to an otherwise soft silhouette. The drape gathers naturally at the waist. Sized 10P, proportioned for a petite frame. Preloved in excellent condition — colors remain vibrant, no stains, tears, or visible damage. Minimal wear consistent with careful use.

Total length: 24″ / 61cm | Chest (pit to pit): 18–19″ / 46–48cm | Length from neckline to hem: 20″ / 51cm

Worn tucked into high-waisted trousers for the office, or loose over a slim pencil skirt for an evening that calls for something considered. Some tops fill a closet. This one fills a role. When it feels right, it simply is.
