One small embroidered word doing some very heavy lifting. Finally: the name, the reason, the "ohhh, THAT explains it." Those who know will spot it instantly. Everyone else will just see a great top. Both work.
Product & Care
Specification
- 100% combed cotton
- 28 singles
- 5.3 oz (180 g/m²)
- pre-shrunk
- marle colourways contain 15% viscose
Care
- Wash
- Cold, with like colours.
- Dry
- Don't tumble dry. Line dry in the shade.
- Iron
- Not if it's printed. Don't dry clean.
- Bleach
- No.
- Expect
- Pre-shrunk, so it holds its size. The shade part matters — direct sun turns a print chalky.
- Embroidery
- Fine on a light cotton like this.
Good to know
- A new print can smell faintly of vinegar, or carry a pale mark from the pre-treatment. Both wash out.
- Keep it out of direct sunlight before that first wash — the pre-treatment can sun-stain, and that doesn’t come out.
- No fabric softener. It dulls the print.
- On embroidery, iron around the stitching rather than over it. We’ve washed ours repeatedly and they’ve held up.

These are the garment’s own measurements, not body sizes — and one maker’s medium isn’t another’s, so it’s worth a look before you choose. Soft fabrics never cut quite identically, so allow a little either way.
Width is measured flat, underarm to underarm — double it for the full way round.
How this one fits
Women's Crop Top
Mid-weight combed cotton, 5.3oz — the marle colours blend in a little viscose. Relaxed, dropped-shoulder, and genuinely cropped — sits above the waist, so check the length before you order. Easy, unstructured shape, ribbed neckline for a bit of hold. Pre-shrunk, so it holds its size.
Cut
One global spec in alpha sizes — no US or European version to translate between.
Sensory notes
- Side seams, with shoulder-to-shoulder tape.
- Ribbed neckline — some hold, no binding tape.
- Double-needle hems.
- Mid-weight at 5.3 oz (180 g/m²).
- On an embroidered design, the reverse of the stitching has some texture inside.
Shipping & Returns
Shipping
Made for you after you order — 1–5 working days to make, then 3–5 to arrive. Free over $70 / £60; below that, a standard flat rate shown at checkout.
If it arrives faulty
Damaged, misprinted or just wrong — that’s on us. Send your order number and a photo within 30 days of delivery and we’ll replace it or refund you in full. Not sure it counts? Tell us anyway.
If you change your mind
We can’t take it back — each piece is made for you, so there’s no shelf for it to return to. Tell us within 30 days and we’ll still put it right: a discount next time, or a donation in your name to the charity we support.
Do check the size guide above before you order — it has the real measurements, flat and unstretched. Our Gear explains how each piece is cut and how it wears, which is the other half of the question.
