Vine & Love Clothing: Fit Notes and the Tops Worth Buying
Vine & Love is a Los Angeles label that does pretty, easy tops really well: smocked puff sleeves, plaid ruffles, and soft blouses. Here is how they fit and where to start.

How Vine & Love Fits
Vine & Love sizes in small, medium, and large. The two styles we carry fit very differently, so measure against something you already own. Pit to pit is the width of the top from armpit to armpit, laid flat.
| Style | Fit | Medium pit to pit |
|---|---|---|
| Smocked puff sleeve blouse | Closer fit, stretch smocking | About 22 inches |
| Plaid ruffle poncho sleeve top | Relaxed and oversized | About 27 inches |
The easiest check: lay a top you love flat, measure armpit to armpit, and compare it to the numbers above.
For the oversized plaid top, take your usual size for a slouchy fit or size down if you want it neater. For the smocked blouse, take your usual size.
What Vine & Love Actually Makes

- Plaid and ruffle button downs. Relaxed shirts with poncho style ruffle sleeves, in soft rayon.
- Knits and sweaters. Cozy pieces for cooler months.
- Dresses. Easy shapes in the same feminine style as the tops.

Start with the smocked puff sleeve blouse. It is the easiest to fit, it dresses up or down, and it is the clearest example of what the brand does best.
How to Style Puff Sleeves and Ruffles
Big sleeves and ruffles need balance below the waist.
- Keep the bottom slim. Skinny or straight jeans, or a slim skirt, keep a full sleeve from overwhelming you.
- Tuck the front. A front tuck on an oversized plaid top shows your waist and makes it look intentional.
- Skip extra layers on top. Puff sleeves do not fit well under a jacket. Choose a vest or nothing at all.
- Add boots in fall. Plaid and ruffles with ankle boots is an easy autumn outfit.
Caring for Rayon and Smocked Tops
Rayon and smocking both need gentle handling to keep their shape.
- Wash cold, gentle cycle. Rayon can shrink in warm water.
- Hang to dry. Never put rayon or smocked tops in a hot dryer.
- Reshape while damp. Gently pull seams and sleeves back into shape before drying.
- Steam, do not press, smocking. Steam relaxes wrinkles without flattening the elastic.
- Follow the tag. Fabric varies by style, so check each care label.
