What type of bra should I wear with this top?

Due to the halterneck and asymmetric design, a strapless bra, a backless adhesive bra, or a bra with clear straps would be most suitable to maintain the intended aesthetic.

For a formal look, pair with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt. For a slightly more relaxed yet chic vibe, combine with wide-leg pants and statement accessories.

What is the length of the top?

Troubleshooting

Top feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The bandage knit is designed to be form-fitting; consider pairing with looser-fitting bottoms to balance the silhouette.

Strap or fabric shows signs of stretching

Follow care instructions meticulously, particularly regarding washing and drying. Avoid hanging the garment for extended periods; store it folded.

Appearance of pilling on the knit fabric

Gentle wear and careful washing can minimize pilling. A fabric shaver can be used cautiously on affected areas.
