Darong Square Neck Double-layer Ruched Tank Top

The square neck sits straight across the chest, and the ruching runs down the body from there, gathering at the sides until the hem settles at the high waist. Two layers of the same knit cover you front and back, so the fabric reads solid even where it pulls. It stops above the hip, sleeveless, cut close.

Wash it cold and let it hang to dry, and the stretch will settle back into place on its own. Heat is the thing to watch: a hot dryer works against the recovery in the knit, and once that goes, the fit goes with it. Low heat if you must, air if you can. It comes in XS and M, one colourway, $9.99.

The run on the Square Neck Double-layer Ruched Tank Top is XS to M, and between any two of them the smaller size clings where the larger one skims.

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 square neck double-layer ruched tank top the label in the side seam is the source.

Turn the square neck double-layer ruched tank top inside out for the wash, keep the water cold, and lay it flat rather than hanging it wet.
