Deletta Mixed Texture Ruffle Front Shell Top
Deletta (Anthropologie House Brand) · Clothing & Accessories > Tops
Era / Decade
Early 2010s (approx. 2011-2014); indicated by the yellow script tag style which was prominent during this era at Anthropologie.
Material
Likely a blend of Cotton and Rayon/Spandex knit with Polyester ruffles. The textured 'waffle' or 'honeycomb' knit body is typical of Deletta's soft, stretch-focused designs.
Condition
Fair to Good. There is significant visible pilling and fuzziness on the interior and neck lining, which suggests heavy wear or improper laundering. The ruffles appear intact but the overall fabric looks tired.
Demand Level
Moderate to Low. While Anthropologie items have a dedicated following, older 'house brands' like Deletta have seen a decrease in demand compared to newer labels. Best sold during spring or fall as a layering piece.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$12.00 - $22.00
Estimated Retail Value

Comparable Sales
Recent sales for similar Deletta ruffle tops on Poshmark range from $10 to $25 depending on condition. To get to the high end of that range, the pilling must be addressed.
Description
Lovely royal blue Deletta top featuring a unique mixed-media construction. This piece includes a textured honeycomb knit bodice accented by voluminous chiffon-style ruffles along the neckline and shoulders. Versatile sleeveless design perfect for layering under a blazer or wearing alone. Size Petite Medium (MP).
Key Features
Anthropologie brand recognition, vibrant royal blue color, feminine ruffle detail, mixed texture fabric which adds visual interest.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct 'Deletta' yellow script label with lace-style backing and standard Anthropologie size/origin tag (Made in Vietnam). Hardware and stitching match brand standards for the era.
Flaws to Note
Significant pilling on the back neck facing and interior fabric. General 'wash wear' appearance to the knit sections. These will require a fabric shaver to improve the aesthetic before listing.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or Depop. These platforms have a high concentration of 'Anthropologie' keyword shoppers who look for specific vintage house labels.
Selling Tips
Use a fabric depiller/sweater shaver to remove the fuzz around the neckline to upgrade the 'Condition' rating. Use keywords like 'Anthropologie', 'Ruffle', 'Textured', 'Boho', and 'Workwear'. Take clear photos of the texture and the size tag.
