FAQs

What type of fabric is this top made from?

The top is made from a bandage knit construction, primarily polyester, designed for a sculpted and form-fitting shape.

How should I care for this bandage knit top?

It is recommended to hand wash in cool water or dry clean only. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying to maintain the garment's integrity.

Can this top be worn for business casual settings?

Yes, when paired with tailored trousers or a skirt and a blazer, it creates a sophisticated professional look suitable for business casual environments.

What makes the neckline 'square'?

The neckline is designed with straight horizontal and vertical lines, forming a geometric square shape around the collarbone and décolletage area.

Is the zip functional?

Yes, the zip-through front is functional and allows for adjustability in the neckline and fit.

What are the PU tipped details?

These are decorative and functional accents along the zip-through front, made from polyurethane material, adding a refined edge to the design.

What other sizes or colors are available?

This specific guide is for the black, size 16. Other sizes and potentially colors may be available from the retailer.

Troubleshooting

Top feels too tight

Adjust the zip-through front for a slightly more relaxed fit. Consider wearing with looser-fitting bottoms to balance the silhouette.

Fabric loses shape

Ensure proper care by hand washing or dry cleaning. Lay flat to dry and store folded, not on a hanger, to prevent stretching.

PU tipping appears creased

Attempt to gently iron on a very low heat setting on the reverse side of the fabric, avoiding direct heat on the PU tipping. If creasing persists, consult a professional dry cleaner.
