FAQs
What occasions is this top best suited for?
This top is ideal for festive occasions, parties, evening events, or any situation where a touch of elegant shimmer is desired. It also works well for sophisticated layering under blazers or shirts.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Marc Cain, paying attention to measurements like bust, waist, and hip. Since this is a slim-fit item, you may want to consider sizing up if you prefer a slightly more relaxed fit.
Can I machine wash this top?
It is generally recommended to hand wash items with lurex and delicate fabrics. If you choose to machine wash, use a cold, delicate cycle with a mesh laundry bag and a gentle detergent.
What kind of undergarments should I wear with this top?
Given the semi-transparent nature, seamless undergarments in a neutral tone (like nude or black) are recommended for a smooth appearance. A simple camisole or a fitted tank top can also be worn underneath.
Does the lurex detailing feel rough?
The lurex is woven into the fabric for a glossy effect. While it adds texture, it should not feel excessively rough. Proper washing and care can help maintain the fabric's softness.
What is the fit of this top like?
This top features a slim fit, designed to be close to the body. It is intended to be sleek and flattering, making it suitable for layering without adding bulk.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels scratchy due to lurex.
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. Sometimes, a gentle hand wash can soften the threads. Check for any loose threads that might be causing discomfort.
Top appears too sheer for intended wear.
Consider wearing a neutral-colored camisole, slip, or seamless undergarment beneath the top. This maintains the elegant look while providing the desired coverage.
Lurex threads snagging or pulling.
Handle the garment with care to avoid snags. If a small snag occurs, try to gently push the thread back into place. Avoid wearing with rough accessories that could catch on the fabric.
Top lost its shape after washing.
Ensure the garment was laid flat to dry and not hung while wet. Re-shape gently while damp and lay flat again. If significant stretching occurred, a very low-heat steam iron might help slightly reform the fabric.
