Drama The Label Dalila Top - White Check

A classic high-waisted, straight-leg trouser in satin back crepe — a smooth, fluid suiting fabric with drape rather than insulation. It's a year-round workwear piece: comfortable in mild weather and easy to carry through winter with knitwear on top and a coat over it. The full-length straight leg gives more coverage than a cropped style.

Available in sizes 4–24, and also offered in Petite and Tall. Fits true to size. Sizes 16–24 have elastic in the back waistband for a better fit. Inseam lengths are 81.7cm for sizes 4–10, 82cm for sizes 12–18 and 82.5cm for sizes 20–24, with a 3cm hem turn-up that can be let down if you need extra length. RUBY publishes a body measurement chart rather than flat garment measurements — a size 8 corresponds to 86cm bust, 70cm waist and 98cm hip, grading up from there.

Machine washable — cold hand wash or delicate machine cycle with similar colours. It can also be dry-cleaned. Do not soak, bleach or leave damp. Hang to dry in the shade, and use a cool iron on the reverse if needed.

RUBY is a New Zealand label, and the Firebird Pant is made locally in Glen Eden, Auckland. The fabric is woven and dyed in Fukui, Japan, from NAIA™ cellulosic fibre spun in Tennessee and polyester spun in Toyama. RUBY tags the style as Made in Aotearoa, Zero Production Waste and Responsibly Sourced Wood Fibre.

NAIA™ is a cellulosic fibre made from wood pulp sourced from certified and controlled forests, and it makes up 78% of this fabric alongside 22% polyester. It gives the satin back crepe its fluid drape and subtle sheen while resisting creasing better than a pure cellulosic — which is what makes the Firebird hold a sharp line through a working day. It's also why the trouser is washable at home rather than dry-clean only.
