INFO
This top is constructed using multiple fitting techniques and boasts an array of subtle details that become apparent upon close inspection of the silhouette. The front panel is crafted from resourced and upcycled denim jeans. The patchwork on the front incorporates square quilting techniques, and the edges are finished with inverted blindfolds for hemming.
Moving to the back, you'll notice waistbands from the previously used jeans transformed into a scrunchy-type band with elastic tape threaded through the tubing. At the center of the back, between the scrunched straps, there is a non-elastic, solid webbing-like strap featuring 1” 316L SS sliders that fasten with a rhodium loop and hook clasp in the center.
Around the neck, you'll find the same scrunchy material used to secure the top in place. On the front panel, there are two one-inch large plates on both sides of the chest to ensure a comfortable fit for both AFAB and AMAB individuals.
SIZING
Small - Medium:
his top is designed for petite individuals but can be adjusted with the sliders on the straps to fit a wide range of body types, from petite to large chests. It is specifically tailored for individuals with A-Cup sized breasts.

CLEANING & CARE
Hand wash with warm water and laundry soap; avoid rough abrasions against the fabric. Gently wring out the wet garment. Hang it up to air dry. Since the material is thick, it may take some time for the garment to dry completely. Store the damp garment in a warm, dry area until it is fully dry. Once dry, you can press and steam it if necessary. You can also use starch to stiffen the material if desired
STORAGE
When the garment is dry and ready to be set aside for storage, you have two options: folding or hanging. Hanging is the preferred choice as it allows the fibers to naturally align with gravity and stay in sync with each other. However, if you choose to fold, keep in mind that denim holds creases well but may require steaming or pressing to remove any wrinkles.
For archival storage, fold the garment into a desired, even-sized square that fits inside an airtight vacuum-sealed bag. Once sealed, store it in light-tight containers, making sure there are no objects that can puncture the bag.
When you're ready to remove the garment from archival storage, release the air slowly, allowing the fabric to expand naturally without any irritation. Once the fabric has stopped expanding with air, open the bag and remove the clothing to hang. Hanging will naturally allow the fibers to align with the pattern and drape correctly. From there, you can proceed with the cleaning and drying process to prepare the garment for use.
