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.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this lightweight cotton top is perfect for hot summer weather, with a breezy, comfortable feel and versatile styling options. Many appreciate the loose, boxy fit and cropped length, finding it flattering and easy to wear with jeans, shorts, or skirts. The fabric is praised for being breathable and soft, though several note it's fairly sheer and requires a camisole or bra underneath. Common concerns include wrinkling that requires ironing and some quality control issues with stitching. A few customers mention the V-neck sits too low for work wear, while others find the fit too short or boxy for their preference. Overall, reviewers love the unique colors and consider it a summer staple despite the higher price point.

    Cute but boxy

    Cute lightweight top, perfect for Summer. I sized down one size and it was still too boxy for me.

    Not a good shape

    I originally tried this shirt in a Large, the size that was recommended by Carve, and it was too short for my body. When doing a return, the bot suggested going up a size to help with that, so I did. The XL arrived, and it was wider than it is long! Not a good cut for busty or curvy gals. Sent back the XL as well.

    Summer staple

    Nice breezy top! The boxy fit makes it lay a little weird under a sweater but I can’t wait till the weather warms up enough to wear on its own!

    Cute but bad stitching

    Cute cut, but the stitching is awkwardly bunched on one side, and the fabric on one cuff is off — making the fabric twist a bit. I had to iron the cuff to flatten out the twist.
