Modal Evolve Top made from a blend of Lenzing Modal® | Spandex
Modal is a naturally derived, plant-based fabric cultivated from beech-tree pulp which is sustainably sourced in Austria, and neighbouring countries. Modal is made through an environmentally-conscious process where 95% of water and materials used to make the fabric are recycled. The fabric is also OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified which means it is free of harmful chemicals. High Twist Tencel Evolve Top made from a blend of TENCEL™ Lyocell | Spandex
The TENCEL™ Lyocell Evolve Top is more structured compared to our original Modal Evolve Top, while still offering an ultra-soft and stretchy feel. This fabric will hold its gorgeous drapey shape all day long. TENCEL™ Lyocell is made in a closed-loop process, meaning no water, harmful chemicals or bi-products were released back into the environment. Dyes are hypo-allergenic and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified to be free of harmful chemicals.
Fit Advice: The fit of The Evolve top is drapey and tapers in at the hip. It fits large. We recommend you size down one size.
The fabric on The Evolve top has a 4-way stretch that will stretch to fit within ~1-2" of the measurements shown.

Love the ability to change the look of the top with snaps on the sleeves! High quality fabric. Unfortunately for me too much material for my small frame.
Wore it on a recent trip. Loved how versatile and comfy it was.
The drape of the shirt is still good but the fabric is more synthetic than the jersey fabric from before. I wish the website had made this clear. I like it ok but it’s not nearly as soft as the original top.
Would love to see even more spring colors like sunshine yellow, marigold yellow, liliac, and sky blue.
I love the modal fabric since it's so buttery. I was hoping that the color sky blue would also come out this year, but I was told since it's tencel it wouldn't. So I hope encircled comes out with a modal sky blue shade as the evolve tops are amazing, especially the modal fabric. I'm petite so none of the convertible encircled dresses fit, so I am never able to order any dresses from encircled except the chrysalis since it's the only petite one. I tried and had to return everything, so sad. Even for dressy sweatpants I have to go done a size to XS for the length to fit well, at least I am able to purchase those since XS still fits my waist. So the Evolve Tops are a win since petite issues only happen length such as dresses and pants. It's been years and still no petite and I have missed out on so many amazing convertible dress colors, so sad. Hopefully, the out of stock modals come back soon definitely want to grab more buttery modal.
