Reviews: From-the-Ground-Up Top


From the company that brought us the Labryinthe Tee (now $30) and the Field Day Tee (now $30) comes the From-the-Ground-Up top ($68). I’m pretty hit and miss with Deletta tops. I find their fits to be somewhat inconsistent. But I love this top.

It comes in dark grey (with purple undertones) and coral. Flutter sleeves always make me a bit nervous but the FTGU top puts them to elegant use. The neckline detail is pretty meh to me. I wasn’t really impressed by it. I was more impressed by the soft feel of the shirt (cotton) and the fit. I was surprised by how much structure such a flowy top could have!


I had to size down one size (to a small) and even that was comfortably loose. I was pleased with how nice the shirt looked with my jeans. The slight a-line had a slimming effect and I could picture myself running errands on a spring weekend day in this top. The flutter sleeves were slightly weighted so that instead of standing on end the ends of sit down a bit. The result was a flattering arm line.

The bag of the top has a v-line of its own. No danger of bra exposure, but definitely some back for the world to see (or the sun to tan/burn). This top was another winner in my book, though it would be way more attractive at half-price.

    I like the color & the detailing of the sleeves, but I think it has the potential to look like a maternity top on some people. Glad it worked for you, though 🙂
