A few key features: 

  • double-lined
  • made from a soft brushed stretch knit fabric
  • available in customisable lengths with two different necklines
  • full coverage (no visible under garments)
  • the material feels satin like and is silky soft on your skin
  • breathable material to ensure a lightweight wear

The colour displayed in our images may vary slightly due to lighting conditions and screen display settings. (Variable is no more than one shade off from true)

We recommend sizing up if you generally prefer a looser fit.

Material & Care Guide

We use a blend of polyester spandex and cotton lycra for our Basic Collection and swimwear. We recommend using eco-friendly detergent where possible as well as cold gentle hand / machine wash & line drying all garments.

Stretch percentage in some pieces may vary slightly due to different material being used for some shades.

Sizing & Fit

Measurements for our customisable tops are:

  1. Crop - 40/43cm
  2. Mid-rise - 45/48cm
  3. Low-rise - 50/53cm

Measurements are taken form the collarbone/shoulder to hem and the various lengths are adjusted dependent on the size chosen.

Kindly note our material has a high stretch percentage however in some instances we may recommend sizing sizing up if you'd like a "looser" fit. The general fit of our tops are intended to be snug or somewhat "skin-tight".

Kindly note that the boat neck version of our top has a tighter fit around the arms and sleeves. This is to ensure a snug / "skin-tight" fit around the chest and to avoid material bunching / hanging in around the collarbone area. The bodice of our boatneck also differs slightly to our scoop neck: the design has been altered in order to facilitate the wider neckline. Should you prefer a looser fit under the arms, we recommend sizing up.
