This top has a silk front, with silk/linen knit trim and back. The knit part has a slightly "nubby" texture. It was worn once in a photo shoot, then dry cleaned. It is in great condition. The true shade of red is hard to capture - but it has a red-orange undertone and is slightly lighter than it appears in the photos. The photo shoot stylist paired this top with high-waisted, wide legged pants in a cream color (tucked in) and untucked with skinny ankle jeans and strappy heeled stiletto sandals.
