About Us

BETTINA CHRISTINE LORCH — layering vests and shirts that work under a jacket.

Our shop is in Altenburg, in eastern Thuringia, and it sells the top half of an outfit in two registers: a fitted vest to wear on its own or over a shirt, and a shirt or blouse with a collar worth showing. Four of each, chosen so that a vest and a shirt from this site can be worn together without a fight over the shoulder line.

What we sell

Our product type is clothing, and the range is deliberately narrow:

Lace-trim and keyhole-front fitted knit vests
A burnout paisley vest with a fringe hem and an embroidered V-neck cropped vest
A crochet-lace peplum vest in faux suede
Western lace-yoke, plaid tie-front, pearl-snap and satin button-front shirts and blouses

How the range gets chosen

A vest has to hold its armhole without cutting in, and a shirt has to keep its collar shape after a wash. Every piece is worn for a week, washed at the temperature on the label and checked at the seams; anything that pulls or fades before then is not listed.

What we are not

We do not work on end-of-season clear-outs. The range is short because stock is bought in small runs and kept at this address, and a product page is corrected the same day a size runs out rather than when the next delivery is due.

Orders and delivery

We handle orders in 1-3 business days and estimate 15 business days with the carrier after that. Postage is estimated by distance at checkout and the total shown before payment is what will be charged.

Getting in touch

Write to us, or call during Central European office hours. A sleeve that is tighter than the photograph suggests is easier to resolve if you send the size and the measurement, and we will check the garment on the rail.
