FAQs

Is the material stretchy?

No, this shirt is crafted from crisp, non-stretch cotton, which is why it maintains such a structured, oversized shape.

How does the sizing run?

This item is designed with an oversized fit. If you are between sizes or prefer a less voluminous look, you may want to consider sizing down.

Does the open-back require a specific bra?

The v-cut back is positioned to allow for standard bra straps, but it may be visible depending on the exact placement; many prefer a strapless bra or a coordinating bralette.

Can I tumble dry this shirt?

It is not recommended. Air-drying is preferred to maintain the structure of the cotton and the longevity of the elastic drawstring.

Is the drawstring functional?

Yes, the drawstring is fully functional, allowing you to cinch the waist to your desired tightness.

Is this shirt suitable for formal events?

While the crisp fabric gives it a polished look, the oversized fit and open-back detail make it better suited for smart-casual or fashion-forward social settings.

Troubleshooting

Drawstring feels tight or restricted

Ensure the internal cord is not twisted within the casing and gently pull to redistribute the fabric around the waist.

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Use a garment steamer to gently relax the cotton fibers without the need for intense pressure from a traditional iron.

Balloon sleeves feel too voluminous

Consider rolling the cuffs once or twice to pull the fabric higher up the arm, which creates a cleaner silhouette.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile drawstring waist for adjustable fit
  • High-quality, crisp cotton construction
  • On-trend balloon sleeve design
  • Distinctive open-back tie detail
  • Breathable material suitable for varied seasons

Cons

  • Oversized fit may be too large for some body types
  • Requires careful ironing due to crisp cotton fabric
  • Open-back design limits layering options in colder weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment features specific design elements like ties and an elasticated waist, gentle care is required to maintain its integrity. We recommend machine washing on a delicate cycle using cold water to preserve the crispness of the cotton fibers. Always hang the shirt to dry to prevent heat damage from a tumble dryer, which could affect the drawstring elasticity. When ironing, focus on the collar and cuffs first, and avoid high heat directly over the drawstring or ties. This item pairs exceptionally well with high-rise denim or tailored linen pants, which complement the cropped nature of the hem.
