FAQs
What material is the Animal Print Embellished Stretch Top made from?
The top is made from 95% Polyester and 5% Elastane, offering a comfortable stretch jersey fabric.
How should I wash this top to ensure its longevity?
This top requires hand washing only. Do not machine wash. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for detailed guidance on hand washing and drying.
Is this top suitable for formal events or only parties?
While perfect for party season due to its embellished design, its sophisticated black color and modest neckline also make it suitable for smart casual events or dressier occasions when styled appropriately, for example, with tailored trousers.
What kind of fit does this top have?
It features a regular fit and is designed to be true to size, offering a comfortable and flattering silhouette.
Are the animal print details embroidered or applied?
The animal print detailing on the shoulders is created using sparkling diamante embellishments, adding a distinct texture and shine.
What is the approximate length of the top?
The length of the top is approximately 68cm.
Can I iron this top?
Yes, you can iron it on a very low heat setting, preferably from the reverse side and avoiding direct contact with the embellished areas. Using a pressing cloth is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Embellishments appear loose or are falling off.
Handle the top with extreme care, especially during washing. For minor looseness, a tiny drop of fabric glue (suitable for embellishments) can be used to re-secure them. If multiple embellishments are affected, consider professional dry cleaning or alteration services.
Fabric snagging or minor pulls.
The stretch jersey fabric can be prone to snagging if it comes into contact with sharp objects or rough surfaces. Gently try to work the snagged thread back into the fabric with a needle. Avoid wearing jewellery that could catch on the fabric.
Top feels tighter or looser than expected despite being 'true to size'.
While designed to be true to size, individual body shapes can vary. Check your measurements against the brand's size guide if available. The 5% Elastane offers stretch, so ensure it's not being over-stretched or under-utilized for your body type. If the fit is significantly off, consider exchanging for a different size.
Dullness or fading of the fabric color after washing.
Always use cold water and a mild, color-safe detergent when hand washing. Ensure the top is not left to soak for extended periods. Air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent color degradation.
Top feels static-y after drying.
Static cling can occur with synthetic fabrics. When hand washing, you can add a small amount of liquid fabric softener to the rinse water. Alternatively, use an anti-static spray lightly on the inside of the garment before wearing.

Care Instructions
