Darong Off-Shoulder Neck Mesh Short-Sleeve Top

The neckline sits below the shoulder, so it reads as bare up top even with a sleeve. The hem stops at the high waist, and ruching runs through the body to give the fit some give. Two layers of the same mesh knit make up the whole piece, which means the sheerness reads as texture rather than exposure. It's cut for going out, in size S.

Wash it cool, on a gentle cycle, and let it hang to dry. Heat is the enemy of mesh: a hot dryer can warp the stretch and dull the recovery, so keep the iron away too. One colourway, one price, $9.99.

The ladder on the Off-Shoulder Neck Mesh Short-Sleeve Top is S, and it is worth reading against your own three numbers rather than against your last order.

Size charts are a starting point, not a promise. Body measurements vary between people of the same height and weight, knit fabrics move differently on different frames, and a measurement taken over clothing reads larger than one taken against the body. Measure yourself with a soft tape held level and snug, compare those numbers with the chart rather than with the size you usually buy, and where you fall between two sizes, decide by how you want the garment to sit rather than by the label.

How to measure for this

Where a fibre breakdown reaches us we print it; for the off-shoulder neck mesh short-sleeve top the label in the side seam is the source.

Turn the off-shoulder neck mesh short-sleeve top inside out for the wash, keep the water cold, and lay it flat rather than hanging it wet.
