This top is a small / medium and fits size 10-12 inclusive.

Just like our sari wrap skirts, the batwing tops are made from recycled silk blend saris and each one is unique.

The back tail hangs lower giving your bottom coverage and the front rests nicely on your waist. The style of sleeve shaped as a wing help make the top generous across the chest area.

It measures 91 cms (36") armpit to armpit across the chest. The front down from the V neck is 46 cms and the rear length from the nape is about 71cms.

  •     Made from 100% recycled saris
  •     Generous fit
  •     Cold wash, air dry, warm iron.
  •     Made in India

Purchase the size you wear normally.

Since each one is lovingly hand made from an up-cycled silk blend sari, you may find tiny imperfections in the fabric. Occasionally an artisan may place a sequin or other small replica jewels over an imperfection.

More On Sizing

International Sizing

Australia, NZ and UK sizes are exactly the same. US sizing is 4 sizes less than those countries. Please make sure you order the correct size. Here's a handy chart to check your own measurements against. Please also note most items on our site have their own measurements listed. If you measure 110 cms around the chest for example you will need a top bigger than 110 cms or it will be skin tight.

Skirt sizing

Many women are ‘in between’ sizes and ask the question, “which size should I get?” The answer really is, “it depends.” Since all our skirts are adjustable through a size range, we've kept it simple.

If you are a UK/NZ size 16, stick with the 10-16 range since there will be plenty of fabric to still give you coverage with the wrap aspect. We don’t want you flashing!

If you are a ‘large 16’, particularly around the waist, then go for the 18-22 range to safeguard against the dreaded flashing. You won’t find it too big, though there is more fabric in the skirt which is great for the cooler months particularly.

If you are a 16-18, again go with the larger size of the two collections.

Waistbands can be easily adjusted by the addition of another ‘button hole’ to thread the tie through if needed.

With the length, it depends on how tall you are as to where the skirt hem will fall to. A midi length on one woman might be full length on another. The length measurements are listed on each product so check which is best for you by measuring a skirt from your wardrobe.

Blouse and top sizing

Tunics and blouses are true to size. Purchase your usual size.

You will find the tanks are a slim fit so you may wish to move up a size if you want looser. If you are a busty size 16, go with the 18-20. You won't gape. The actual measurements are noted in each garment description. Grab your tape measure if you are unsure which size to purchase.

Batwing tops are very generous across the chest. As they sit on the waist at the front, again stick to your normal size. If you cross the size range, go bigger so the waist fits you still.

Kimono sizing

Many people wear the kimonos as a loose-fitting jacket over a simple top and pants / leggings / jeans as well as over nightwear or on the beach as a cover-up. Depending on if you intend to actually wrap and close the front or not, what size they fit. There are three sizes: UK/NZ 10-18 and 18-24 and 24-28 ish. If you are a size 18, you get to choose from both collections depending on how you want to wear it. Lucky you!

Aladdin and palazzo pants sizing

Don't be put off by how small the waist looks - it stretches out nicely. The deep shirred elastic will hold you firm around your tum for a flattering look. They are incredibly comfortable.  Stick to your normal size but again if you cross a size range, go bigger. If you don't want a snug waist, go bigger.

I hope that helps! Remember, you are always welcome to swap your purchase for a different size or get a full refund as long as you do so within 30 days. Sale and discontinued items are excluded.

Fabrics Used

 

Traditionally Saris are often flamboyant and brightly coloured, frequently embroidered, and made from silk, cotton, or, in recent years, synthetic cloth such as viscose and polyester. We use retro Sari cloth in the majority of our skirts so silk is the most common component. It is not uncommon to find chiffon or georgette added into the mix which is why we refer to the skirts as a silk blend. We also use 'end of roll' sari fabrics.

Since we cannot trace back the origin of each Sari we upcycle and each skirt is unique (preventing batch testing), it’s impossible to say for sure what the actual fabric content is.

Gorgeous colours, lovely material

I was so keen to get a couple of tops when I saw the colours/patterns I liked. I will go up a size next time as the fit at my hips was not ideal. Keeping the tops regardless and now have added motivation to drop some kilos.
Fantastic service, fast international delivery with a reliable courier. The material is lovely and the workmanship is great.

Bat wing top

Lovely looking, go up a size tho. Might fit good but when you are seated for a while, pulls away in the back seam. Will fix and wear still because love it 😀

Batwing top 14/16

Prefect fit and true to size, nice and comfy on summer days. Lovely fabric too.

Nice cool top

Lovely top. Fabric drapes nicely. Like the shorter length at the front. Will be perfect for summer or could even wear a merino underneath I guess for cooler weather. Might go for a larger size next time as the bottom of the top sits quite snugly on my hips but I really like the overall shape. Will look out for more in other pretty colours. Thanks for the prompt delivery as always.
