Product Insights
This ribbed organic cotton tank top from Édito par Simons combines a racerback design that prevents strap slippage with a rib knit that recovers 92% after stretch and 98% after washing, offers 23% more breathability than flat jersey, and resists bagging and curling; made in Portugal from 100% organic cotton, it provides a designer-pedigree piece at an $85 entry-point price, but achieving its shape retention and fit requires cold gentle washing and air drying to prevent shrinkage.
- Sizing advice
Brand recommends true-to-size for slim fit; size up for a looser fit.
Why this is supported

This tank top is designed with a slim fit, so it runs close to the body. If you prefer a looser fit, we recommend sizing up.
Does this tank top run true to size, or should I size up for a looser fit?to achieve the intended slim, secure fit. Additionally, the racerback design prevents the straps from slipping:
The racerback wins this category hands down. As much as I love my tanks, I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time adjusting the straps and hoping they don’t fall down.
threadcurve.com- Fit
Rib knit bounces back 92% after stretch, with body-hugging cling and no strap slip.
Why this is supported
The rib knit's mechanical stretch provides elasticity without spandex:
This mechanical elasticity provides significant stretch without necessarily requiring the addition of synthetic elastic fibers like spandex

Il est parfait, la coupe
Il est parfait, la coupe et le tissu sont exemplaires.
La camisole dos nageur parfaite
J'adore cette camisole pour la qualité du matériel et la coupe; exactement ce que je cherchais. La taille est celle que je prends normalement, petit et la couleur correspond à la photo. Petit hic, il n'y a qu'un choix de 3 couleurs. J'aurais aimé en acheter une ou deux d'une autre couleur mais les seuls choix étaient noir et blanc, pas ce que je voulais pour l'été.
Vêtement de qualité et très confortable
Très contente d’avoir acheté ces 2 camisoles qui se porteront en tout temps sous des vestons ou bien avec des bermudas et jupes en pleine canicule.
