Darong V-Neck Long-Sleeve Top

The V-neck stops at the collarbone, and the hem sits at the hip, low enough to stay tucked or worn loose over trousers. Ribbed rayon with a little spandex traces the body through the waist, then gives back its shape when you move. We cut this one for work, where a top has to sit still through a full day.

In the wash, the rib relaxes first at the cuffs, so turn the sleeves inward before it goes in. Cool water keeps the spandex doing its job, and heat is what flattens the rib and loosens the hem over time, so skip the dryer and let it dry on a flat surface. Five sizes, from XS to XL, all on the same block.

The ladder on the V-Neck Long-Sleeve Top is XS to XL, 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

Fabric: 95% Rayon, 5% Spandex.

Wash cold with like colours, dry the v-neck long-sleeve top flat, and skip the tumble dryer altogether: that is where the recovery goes.
