A blouse with voluminous sleeves, made here with sustainable Tencel®.
This fabric is a thicker woven twill. Fully opaque. This fabric is drapey and will fall toward the body more than the structured cotton versions.
The fabric has the appearance of awashedsilk in that its surfaces have a similar patina.
The elastic at the gathered cuffs isn't constricting, will not press against your arm. The sleeve length is a strategic distance from your busy hands, while keeping you warm and showing off your bracelets. The clean lines of the dropped shoulder drapes flatly and keeps the volume of the pouf from overpowering.
Fit notes: Designed to fit very blousy when true to size. The intended vibe is similar to a painter's smock, billowy and loose. Ordering a size down will give you a closer to body fit, if you prefer.
The dress form (mannequin) used the photo is wearing the "2" longer" length. Choose "original" if you want a more cropped look but will still cover the natural waist.
Tencel® checks all of our boxes for durability, softness, sustainability, and ethics. It is not only a sustainable fabric. It's a conscionable alternative to silk—it's vegan—with a softness of hand that rivals it and a durability that exceeds it. Try it :)
Best Care: Machine wash cold on delicate or hand wash. Material will feel very heavy when wet as it is very absorbent. Smooth with hands and air dry. Do not put in dryer. Iron on medium setting inside out, or steam. 100% Tencel® Sewn in the USA of imported fabric.

Fans of this hat love their cap-shaped look.
Are you a fan of wool? Fabric made in Italy, thick and plush, these hats emerge from the scraps our Boiled Woolen Sweater that are too precious to waste. We only sew as many as the scraps make possible. They have chunky, thick, richly sculpted tactile details.
Did we say "wool" enough? To avoid any misunderstanding, if you have ever had allergies/sensory issues with wearing wool, these hats aren't for you. Wool is both on the outside of the hat and against your head.
This hat is an average adult head size, with stretch to go over most heads without feeling too tight. We designed a looser fit for less hairdo smush, but will still cling and stay on.
This all purpose size seems to fit the bill on all but the smallest adult heads. If you know yours runs small, feel free to reach out, we can help!
100% wool
Hand wash COLD and dry flat if needed. Do not put in the dryer. Made in the USA of imported Italian fabric.
This hat fits perfectly, looks beautiful and keeps me warm.

This is my new favorite skirt to wear this summer! I’m going to order the other color today! I’d love it if it was also available in a floral pattern. I would order that too!

Our popular 3/4 sleeve made with thicker fabrics that work with this style. These winter-weight combos featured here use heavier flannel for the sleeve and a body that's a french terry material. Will have some more structure because of its thickness—drapes away from body.
Solid black body, a warm grey/black herringbone flannel sleeve.
100% cotton sleeve. Cotton/Bamboo Rayon blend body. Machine wash cold, air dry. Do not put in dryer. Warm iron if needed. Made in the USA of imported fabrics.
About every Signature Top:
National Picnic Signature Tops thrive on creative pairings of new fabrics each season, but it's the fit that is just as special. Not a generic fit—they have been thoughtfully designed to consider women's figures, pleasing in a diverse range of body shapes and sizes.
It's designed to drape loosely over the torso when worn true to size, and not get stuck on the hips. Not meant to fit snugly; however, some women order a size down to show more curves through the bust area. Even then, it will still remain somewhat loose-fitting. Woven sleeves can only size down so much (they don't stretch)—so if tight is how you roll, this is not the top for you.
Thanks for loving National Picnic Signature Tops! Please read each listing for each tee's "personality". Fabric combinations vary in weight, drape or hand. The variations are intentional, adding interest and fun to the most popular style we make.
The Wintery Warm 3/4 Sleeve top is named perfectly! It is warm which is good in the Midwest in December! The design is great in that I can stay warm and still have my lower arms free while cooking. It washes up beautifully!

This is a longer sleeve version of the instant favorite Cottage Blouse, in lightweight cotton prints.
Elastic gathered neckline. Freely drapes over the torso with a loose blousy fit. Elastic cuff sits past the elbow. Moderate length can be tucked in.
Fit notes: Order true to size.
Best Care: Hand or machine wash cold with like colors. Air dry, or you can tumble dry a nearly top carefully on lowest heat to help shake out wrinkles (remove immediately after tumbling). Avoid hIgher temperatures that will excessively shrink natural fibers. Iron on cotton setting.
As always, something different and easy to wear! I love the fabric!
