  1. Verified owner moonlitbutterflies (verified owner)

    Crop tops are super versatile thanks to all the customisation options. I already have a mega floaty boxy crop with deep hem frill and deep sleeve hem frills that is very statement and a semi-sheer crop-top that is specifically for layering over and under other items. They both have such different vibes and are made with such care and quality that’s is hard not to want more crop tops.

  2. Verified owner Hattie (verified owner)

    A fabric appeared that was so camp that I knew I had to try and get it – my vision was to have a square neckline, sleeveless crop with a massive ruffle at the waist. The team was so helpful with my questions and suggesting different possible fabrics for the ruffle.

  3. Verified owner Kelly Landers Hawthorne (verified owner)

    My most recent Emperor’s crop tops are linen with short gathered sleeves and, let me tell you, they are summer perfection now, and will be happily layered into my fall outfits once things mercifully cool down.

  4. Verified owner Carolyn Wall (verified owner)

    Crop tops can be so many things
    – a crop top with fancy sleeves to wear under garments
    – a sleeveless crop top to wear like a vest or jumper
    – a crop top just as a top in itself
    – a fancy top with all of the frills
    – a way to make a beautiful garment from the tiniest bit of fabric
    I love my Emperors crop tops

  5. Verified owner Elizabeth Hamilton-Pearce (verified owner)

    My Emperor’s crop top is my very favourite item of clothing. It feels so good to put on a top and have it be the exact right length, I marvel at it every time I wear it.

    It’s also so beautifully made with perfectly comfy seams and just a lovely level of finish.

    I’ve obviously ordered a second one!

  6. Verified owner Annalise (verified owner)

    At this point I’ve ordered and received 5 different crops from EOC and I’ve been absolutely delighted with each one. I love that with all my personal tweaks and their help I have crops for all weather types and all manner of function. I really love all of my sleeves but the gathered sleeves might be the winner for sheer movement and drama! Just something to note that if you have a larger chest in comparison to your waist think about adding zips, ties, or going for a wrap for ease getting it on and off

  7. Verified owner Kelly Mc (verified owner)

    I saw that there was a little bit of fabric left that I liked: just enough to make a relaxed crop-top, and Emperor’s was so super helpful with choosing a matching tulle for the gathered sleeves and hem ruffle. It’s adorable and comfortable and I get a ton of compliments when I wear it.

  8. Verified owner Helen Bovey (verified owner)

    Emperors Old Clothes crop tops are a staple in my wardrobe, I’ve lost count of how many I own! They can be customised in so many ways, some of my tops have frills, short sleeves, puff sleeves, v necks, you name
    it! There is an emperors crop top for any occasion, and the best bit? They are made to fit me- so no uncomfortable moments!
