FAQs
Is the material stretchy?
The bandage-style knit provides firm structure and moderate stretch to ensure a sculpted fit, but it is less elastic than casual cotton knits.
How do I choose the right size?
This top is designed as a slim fit. We recommend selecting your standard UK dress size, keeping in mind it is intended to be close-to-body.
Are the mesh panels completely transparent?
The mesh is semi-sheer, providing visual depth while remaining sophisticated and appropriate for formal settings.
Can this top be machine washed?
We strongly recommend dry cleaning to protect the delicate sheer mesh panels and the integrity of the structured knit.
What is the best way to store this piece?
It is best stored folded flat in a drawer to prevent the weight of the fabric from distorting the silhouette over time.
Is the neckline tight?
The high stand collar is designed to be elegant and architectural; it sits close to the neck but should not feel restrictive.
Troubleshooting
Visible stretching or sagging in knit sections
Avoid hanging the garment on thin wire hangers; always store flat to allow the knit to retain its shape.
Mesh panel snagging
Ensure that all jewelry is removed before dressing and check that the garment is not pulled over textured accessories.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the structural integrity and mesh detail of your top, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the mesh inserts, professional dry cleaning is recommended to prevent stretching or snagging.
- Storage: Store the garment folded flat or on a well-padded hanger to avoid distorting the bandage knit and to prevent the mesh from catching on jewelry.
- Handling: Use caution when putting on or taking off the garment, as the slim fit and mesh panels are sensitive to sharp objects like watches, rings, or earrings.
- Sizing: This garment is designed for a precise slim fit. Refer to the UK sizing standard to ensure the best contouring effect for your frame.
