The Good: This tool looks flawless in photos, like it just stepped off a fitness influencers Instagram feed. The design is sleek, the colors pop, and its 100% camera ready. If you're buying it for the that. The size fit is good, as the pressure for true to size is 65% on a fitted top.
The Bad: The second you actually move in it. The seams are not your friend. Instead of using a flatlock stitch (the gold standard for activewear), they went with overlock seams, which means bulky, overlapping fabric that rubs like sandpaper once sweat gets involved. For something marketed as performance wear, thats a big miss.
The Fixable: A flatlock stitch wouldve made all the differenceno bulky seams, no chafing, just smooth, body-hugging comfort. The cover-stitch on the hems? It tad bit loose, the stitch count makes it feel a little cheap. Needs a better marrow folded invisible hem or a heat press folded hem. Like the ones seen in seamless apparel.
Final Verdict: As a technical assurance inspector, I cant unsee these flaws. For the price, youre mostly paying for looks, its a decent fashion top, but if you plan on actually working out, or going into the ocean and do water activities in it, prepare for some unwanted friction. Great for posing, Questionable for sweating.
The Textile type: its Polyester, under microscope the top loop and pearl count is 41 to 45 is a light weight textile, the Ultraviolet blocking I dont trust as the percent of loops allow for sun light to travel, I would wear sunblock lotion and wear this top too. The garment needs major improvement.
