Garment dimensions can vary significantly across differing production batches and styles. While sizing options span standardized metrics such as S, M, L, XL, and specific Free Size garments, relying solely on letter indicators can lead to unexpected proportions upon arrival.

Comparing your own flat garment measurements against product photos prevents ordering the wrong proportions, especially when choosing between close-fitting tanks and roomier oversized button-ups.

Remember that Free Size cuts do not offer universal dimensions and will fit individual body shapes uniquely. Take into account intended styling, such as leaving room for undershirts, before finalizing your size selection.

Check how specific products run by reviewing model photos and written descriptions. If you prefer an oversized feel for shirts or tees, sizing up from your standard tag size often provides the relaxed drape you desire.

Polyester garments like tanks and coordinated sets maintain their shape well when washed on gentle settings. Avoid high heat during both washing and drying cycles to reduce the risk of structural distortion, shrinkage, or heat damage across fine synthetic fibers.

Separate bright pinks from crisp whites and dark indigos to prevent cross-bleeding. Following internal garment care tags accurately ensures that bright hues and graphic detailing remain sharp wash after wash. Standard shipping applies freely on eligible orders exceeding US$30 at checkout.
