Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Elliott Voile Top is especially well suited for hot-weather travel and beach days because it is cut from lightweight cotton voile, a breathable woven fabric that lets air circulate and feels airy against the skin. Its relaxed, boxy silhouette and short sleeves provide movement and cooling without clinging, while shirring at the shoulders gives a little architectural shape so you look polished straight off the plane or after a salty walk. Carve Designs also pigment-dyes each piece for a softly sun-kissed finish that hides minor travel wear. This top benefits women who want an elevated, easy-to-pack piece for coastal cafes, sightseeing, or everyday warm-weather wear. Note that voile is thin and not insulating, so you may want a light layer for cool evenings.
It fits as a relaxed, boxy silhouette, so most customers take their usual size for the intended roomy look. The top is a woven cotton voile with little mechanical stretch, so its shape comes from cut and shirring rather than elasticity. That means if you prefer a more tailored or fitted look you could size down one size, and if you plan to layer thicker pieces underneath or prefer extra swing, size up. Sizes run from XXS to XL, and the shirred shoulders help the top sit neatly at the neckline while leaving generous room through the body. Keep in mind this is designed to look effortlessly thrown-on rather than clingy; if you want a close fit, choose the smaller size.
The Elliott Voile Top mixes lightweight, elevated fabric with thoughtful tailoring, so it reads more polished than a basic tee while staying breezier than a structured blouse. Key differences are the cotton voile fabric, which is whisper-light and breathable; the boxy yet architectural cut with shirred shoulders for subtle detail; and pigment-dyed finishes that make each piece slightly unique. From a brand perspective, it’s part of Carve Designs’ line that emphasizes recycled, upcycled, or organic materials and uses no toxic chemicals, which gives the piece a clean-fashion edge without sacrificing style. This top is ideal for women who want versatile, stylish pieces that travel well and transition from errands to lunch. It is not meant to replace a tailored blazer if you need a very formal look.

    Light, airy, and so flattering!

    The Elliott Voile Top in Light Violet is a new favorite — the fabric is soft and breathable, perfect for hot summer days. The color is beautiful and easy to wear with just about anything. Relaxed fit without feeling shapeless. Definitely picking this up in more colors!

    Love the style, don’t love that it’s wrinkled out of the dryer

    I like this shirt, but find it wrinkled out of the dryer. I prefer clothing that is low maintenance, but I will still wear this shirt because I like it so much. I’m just going to have to make time to iron it.
