Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Liv Stitched Top was designed for exactly that kind of easy versatility: it’s made from breathable organic cotton, has a classic, flattering fit, and features adjustable straps plus a bra-friendly construction for all-day comfort. The smocked back band gives gentle stretch and keeps the top secure whether you’re chasing kids or catching waves, and the square neck reads polished enough for lunch out. This makes it ideal for busy women who want one piece that transitions from errands to the shore without fuss. If you expect heavy sun exposure or want built-in sun protection, consider layering or a lightweight coverup since this top is lightweight cotton rather than sunproof fabric.
The Liv Stitched Top fits true to size for most shoppers and is bra-friendly thanks to its adjustable straps and smocking back. It comes in sizes XXS through XXL and the smocked band adds a little give, so the top hugs your shape without feeling tight. If you prefer a roomier silhouette or are between sizes and carry most of your fullness in the bust, sizing up will create a looser drape; if you like a more fitted look, pick your usual size. This guidance helps you choose the most comfortable option whether you want a neat tucked-in look or a breezy beach-ready vibe.
Wash gently to keep the smocking springy and the Lt Violet Texture popping. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, avoid bleach, and wash with similar colors; reshape and lay flat to dry or tumble on low to reduce heat stress to the elastic in the smocking. The organic cotton construction responds best to low-heat care, which helps prevent shrinking and maintains fiber integrity. If you prefer minimal fuss, hand washing and flat drying adds extra insurance, but normal gentle machine care will keep this top looking great for many wears.

    Comfortable breezy tank

    Love the relaxed fit for hot summer days. 34DD with a muscular back, I'm sometimes a M, often a L - In this the L fits without being overly tight across the chest. Pretty stitching in the fabric makes it unique!

    Super Cute!

    This top is really cute. It was suggested I purchase a large, but should have ordered the medium. I may order another color in the correct size.

    Love it… but… if you’re tall have to do altercations myself…

    Love the fabric, and love the style… only thing is I am 5’9” and the straps at the longest setting are still too short. It has me wondering who could possibly wear the shortest setting? Anyhow. Maybe add one more slot in for us tall gals. I will be just sewing it myself with the extra fabric on the straps.
