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.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this tank top is comfortable and perfect for warm weather, with a light, breathable fabric that's soft and not see-through. The flowy, boxy fit works well for various body types, and adjustable straps are a practical feature. Many appreciate the versatile style that pairs with different outfits. Some note the fit runs large and can feel boxy around the midsection. A few mention strap length concerns for taller wearers or sizing inconsistencies across the chest area. Overall, customers love the quality and casual summer aesthetic.

    Awkward fit

    The fit was boxy and awkward on me though I have a longer torso, may look better on others!

    super cute

    This is very cute and good quality. However, I had to stitch extra button holes in the straps to make it a little longer. Again, I feel like Carve tops lean a little short, and as a longer (but not unnaturally long) torso having woman, I would love for the tops to be a little longer.

    Lots of compliments on this top

    I am very happy with this top. It's comfortable in hot weather but conservative enough to wear to the office when paired with my Freya linen pants in black. I am typically a size 4 and the small fit me well. I received multiple compliments!

    Cute top

    Cute top, shorter length than appears on model but definitely not a crop top. Which it had one or two more button holes for strap adjustment.

    Cutest

    Love these shirts! They’re comfortable and look great with cut offs and jeans. I’ve found so many great buys that are a step-above my usual casual style. And size recommendations have been spot on.
