The Gillian Top
About Frame’s tops: FRAME's women's tops run from rib tanks and silk camis to silk going-out blouses, mostly $88 to $598, built to pair with the brand's denim. Silk pieces are what the line is known for, and the puff-sleeve Gillian has recurred across enough seasons to earn its own collection page.

Our take
The Gillian Top is FRAME's named going-out blouse: 100% silk with a stand collar, button front, and elbow-length puff sleeves with ruched detailing, sold in solids and prints across several seasons. Department-store owner reviews are positive, with praise for the drape and the sleeve shape. The caveats are concrete: sleeves ran tight for one owner while the body ran roomy for others, one reported the collar sitting unevenly, and one questioned the price outright.

The details
- Material
- Retail listings state 100% silk with a dry-clean-only care label; construction details are a ruched puff sleeve, stand collar, and button front.
- Fit
- The retailer listing calls it true to size with a relaxed fit that hits at the hip, but owner reports split: several found it runs big through the body while one found the arms too tight. If between sizes, decide whether sleeve room or body drape matters more to you.
- Quality
- Owners consistently praise the drape and print quality; the one recurring construction complaint is the stand collar, which an owner reported sitting unevenly, one side falling outward and the other standing straight.
- Best for
- Right for someone who wants one recognizable silk blouse for dinners, events, and office days over jeans, and who will actually maintain a dry-clean-only top.
- Care
- It is labeled dry clean only, so factor ongoing cleaning cost into the real price of ownership.
How Frame tops hold up overall
Third-party coverage of Frame's tops is thinner than for its denim, but what exists is broadly positive: owners of the silk blouses describe them as very high quality pieces they wear repeatedly, with body-skimming cuts and puff-sleeve details. Reviewers credit the wider clothing line's materials, naming silk and cashmere alongside the denim. The practical gripes are care and price: the silk tops are labeled dry clean only, which some owners work around by washing cold, hanging to dry, and steaming, and Trustpilot carries scattered quality-control and customer-service complaints aimed mostly at the jeans rather than the tops.
- Strengths
- The silk blouses are the standout of the tops range — owners report high-quality fabric and flattering, body-skimming cuts they wear repeatedly.
- Watch out for
- Dry-clean-only care labels on the silk tops and premium pricing are the recurring drawbacks, alongside scattered quality-control complaints on Trustpilot directed mostly at the denim.
