The Benessa is stylish and deceptively simple top from Miss Candyfloss. The soft, stretchy and more than a little bit silky material is finished with with cream Georgette ribbon at the collar and cuffs which are knotted into a silky waterfall. The shoulders have subtle pleating along them giving the top a nice shape over the bust. Around the torso the garment is more fitted, which smoothes the line around the tummy.
Miss Candyfloss was established in 2009 by the designers of the Soronius house of fashion. It is a retro brand inspired by the styles of 1940s and 1950s but made for the 21st century woman. Based in Sweden, all their designs are manufactured within Europe under fair trade conditions rather than being mass produced in large factory lines overseas. This small scale and attention to detail shows itself in the Miss Candyfloss quality of design and manufacture.
