FAQs
Is the fit true to size?
The top follows a standard regular fit, but if you prefer a tighter look, consider sizing down based on the available slim-fit alternatives.
Can this top be worn in a professional setting?
Yes, the crew neckline and polished finish make it appropriate for most office environments, especially when layered.
What is the best way to store this top?
Hanging is recommended to keep the fabric smooth, but ensure you use padded hangers to prevent shoulder dimples from the cap sleeves.
Is the fabric prone to fading?
To maintain the depth of the blue color, wash inside out in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when drying.
Does the ruching add bulk?
No, the ruching is designed to add texture and provide a flattering drape rather than volume.
Troubleshooting
Ruching appears uneven after washing
Gently stretch the fabric while slightly damp to realign the pleats before laying flat to air dry.
Fabric snagging
Always wash inside a mesh laundry bag and avoid wearing sharp jewelry that may catch on the textured ruching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment features intricate ruched detailing, maintenance is key to preserving its shape. It is recommended to machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent the fabric from snagging. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can distort the texture; instead, lay the item flat to dry. When pairing, consider that the regular fit works best with bottom layers that define the waistline, such as high-waisted pants or tucked-in styles. Always check the internal tag for specific material composition before applying any ironing, and use a low-heat setting if absolutely necessary.
