From the site: Not only did we want to perfect the fit, we also needed to make the construction work considering this top is handmade. Even though you often see this amount of details (cue the pleats!) on fast fashion pieces, its not easy to produce on a small scale. Bigger brands have access to machinery that can produce these details very quickly. For us, it requires a lot of time & precision from our seamstresses. I am so happy that we were able to come to a final slow fashion version that works for everyone. I already know you will love it and cherish this treasure for years to come. Details - 100% Stone washed linen - Is it see through? The texture of this linen makes it more opaque than other types of white linen. Our tip to feel 100% covered: wear nipple stickers if you go braless in this piece! - Corset like fit that you can adjust with the double ties at the back
