This is the long-sleeve version of our popular Bateau Picnic Top.
What we have here is our newest favorite neckline, added to a brand classic. It fits just like our Picnic Top through the body, looser when true to size but lightly curved to define the waistline.
Note: The color charcoal as seen on some model photos is currently sold out.
This bateau neckline is simply a slotted opening from shoulder to shoulder. Elegantly drapes right across the collarbone. Sophisticated and smart.
The fabric of the top folds in at the neck to create a clean edge uncomplicated by added stitches. Smooth any fabric at the neckline inward if it goes astray while popping it over your head.
The fabric itself is milled in the USA, a quality medium weight jersey knit. A Rayon/Spandex blend, it has a silky sheen that's a wee bit dressier. Yarn-dyed heathered colors have a textured look and a soft hand.
Shaped with a little curve in the torso but designed to fit a little loose when true to size. Shirttail shaped hem. Falls to hip.
For this one, choose your size based on what you know about your shoulders. The neckline will appear strained/taut if you try on a size that is smaller than needed—you might simply need the next size up to have it drape nicely into place.
Made with sustainability-minded Ecovero™ Viscose. ECOVERO™ fibers have been certified with the EU Ecolabel as meeting high environmental standards throughout their life cycle: from raw material extraction to production, distribution and disposal.
CLEANING NOTES Best care:Hand wash or machine wash delicate cycle, cold water. Smooth it out with hands, laying flat to dry. Wrinkling falls out with movement as it's worn. If you prefer ironing, It's OK to pass a steaming iron gently over surface if needed, garment turned inside out. Other acceptable care: Dry cleaning is also an option. Processes to avoid: Do not put in the dryer, or use warm or hot water, it will shrink your garment (mostly in length but also a little in width). Do not use bleach.
92% Ecovero™ Viscose (a type of rayon) and 8% Spandex. Made in the USA of USA-made fabric.
Choose crew or V neck—This top is made to order, allow about a week to make before shipping.
3/4 Sleeve version of the signature tee "Book Club Night": If colors made noise, these would be somewhat quieter, but still with much to say. Soft 100% cotton fine rib knit in a dusky gray-blue. Lightweight cotton plaid sleeves in gentle peach and gray-blue are flanneled for extra softness.
100% Cotton shell, 100% Cotton sleeves. Machine wash cold, air dry. Do not put in dryer. Warm iron if needed. Made in the USA of imported fabric.
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.

Halftone pattern on the sleeve, magnified. This dotted pattern is what makes up the images in traditional print. You know that. But generations after us might not? Look closely and you can make out the objects. They are flowers. Up close, they are simply graphics, reminiscent of Pop Art.

Quite possibly the best everyday shirts in the world
I own three of these shirts now and every time I catch sight of myself wearing one, I think "you look so cute!" I don't think there's higher praise for an item of clothing. I will absolutely buy more each season.

I am The Fun Friend when I wear this shirt.
I love all of the National Picnic items in my collection, but I especially love this shirt. The colors speak to me, and it works really well with a pair of purple high-low gaucho yoga pants I have. It's become a staple in my summertime wardrobe rotation. The sewing is impeccable, as always. Thank you, Betsy and team!
