Please note that our Esme tops are made from a 100% Viscose yarn which has a fairly short fibre length. Over time, the fibres of the yarn can shift around and move to the surface of the knit which then get caught on each other and create pilling. If in contact with any rough or abrasive materials this can also exacerbate the pilling. This pilling can be removed with an electric de-pilling machine, however it is a natural feature of this type of material.

To extend the life of this garment we recommend airing it after use to avoid unnecessary washing. For small stains, spot clean with delicate laundry detergent and leave to air dry. For deeper cleaning, we recommend gently hand washing with cold water, then rolling in a towel to remove excess water before leaving to air dry flat and in the shade. Do not soak or leave damp. Use a detergent with no optical brighteners or whiteners. To maintain the fresh look of your garment, store it flat. Do not dry clean. Cool iron if necessary.

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF
BUST

Make sure you are wearing a bra, unless you never wear one. This measurement should be the circumference of the widest point, with the tape going over your nipples

WAIST

This measurement is the narrowest part of your waist. You shouldn’t be able to shimmy it up and down.

HIP

This measurement is the widest part of your bum, not actually where your hip bones are. When you hold the tape measure in a circle, if you shimmy it up and down over your bum it shouldn’t get any bigger. It can be helpful to turn side-on to the mirror when you do this as it’s easier to see the most sticky-outy bit.

Custom Sizing

We offer custom sizing in most current styles, should you be after a standard size which is outside the sizes we currently make, or need a style off the rack altered for an access need.

This service is designed to make our size range more inclusive for our Rubettes. If you wish to order a custom size, you will only pay the standard retail price of the piece you are buying as we believe everyone should be able to wear the clothes they love.

We currently do not offer custom sizing in knitwear or denim, as these styles are made offshore and require a higher quantity to be made, nor do we remake sold out styles in standard sizing. Please note that this is subject to fabric availability and this is not a made to measure service.

Lovely design but poorly made

I love the fit and design of this top, unfortunately, like many other reviewers, my top started to pill really badly after one wear. I have hand washed with cold water, and used an electric pilling shaver, but even just an hour later after shaving it was all pilled again. Clearly something is not quite right with the blend of fabrics - haven't had any other tops pill this badly repeatedly.

Hi Ruby- We're sorry to hear that you're having this experience with your new Esme Top. We've sent an email to your contact on file to discuss this further and to provide some more information around why this is happening 💌 x

Cute colourway

Love the colourway, I’ve worn it a couple times now and always get a compliment about it. It’s soft and comfortable to wear.

Bubbled up after one wash :(

So sad because I pre ordered this top and waited two months for it to arrive and bubble up around the armpit after one wear. Save your money and buy something else for $189 😢😢

Hi Brooklyn, We’re really sorry to hear how disappointed you are, especially after the long wait and excitement for your pre-order - that’s definitely not the experience we want you to have. Because the Esme long sleeve is made from a delicate knitted fabric, some of the fibres naturally float to the surface as they shift around with wear, so some pilling under the armpit can be expected. We recommend hand washing and using an electric de-pilling machine to help manage this, particularly in areas like the underarms. Please feel free to reach out to us at online@rubynz.com 💌 x

esme top

colour/pattern cool, but after one wear had not even been washed, pulling ball bits all over that it looked like I had owned for ages. Then, after one wash on cold in a wash bag, it became even worse. Has barely been worn but does not look that way. It's warm.

Hi Molly, we're sorry to hear that you've had this experience with your Esme long sleeve. We do recommend for this product that it is hand washed due to the nature of the knitted fabric. We also recommend using a wool comb on this product to remove the excess pilling. If you'd like to chat with us about this further, please email us at online@rubynz.com x

Super soft and super cute

Love love love. Didn’t expect it to feel so soft and the fit is perfect. Love the colours and the combo with the trulli skirt!
