ESSENTIAL LONG SLEEVE TOP

Average Rating:

From:SonjaDebruin

What a great everyday, everywhere top; great for layering under jackets; have purchased most colours; literally does fit true to size.

From:Kim

Definitely a must have. Goes with everything and fits true to size, i'll be buying all the colors!

From:Jenni Eyles

I have this in green-so fresh and NOW. I love the flattering neckline, great sleeve length and price!!! So affordable and an easy way to give a lift to darker garments.

From:anne s

do these have any stretch and do they go out of shape with wash .I want to by 4 colours but want to check first .great clothes VIRTUE

From:Camcas

Bought the green and the lovely burnt orange. Fit beautifully until washed for the first time...now baggy and too wide. I used a wash bag on gentle wool cycle in my front loader as I do for all my stuff. Soooooo disappointing because the style is lovely.

From:Maria

Great versatile top. Don't buy one buy many. The material is good and has a good amount of stretch. The colours are vivid.

From:Annie

I bought 2 of these tops. After the first cold gentle wash they shrunk up and are now too short. They look sloppy and are baggy now. Very disappointed. They look much longer than they are, in the photo on the website.

From:DebK

I bought two tops (red and black) and I'm very pleased with the quality and fit. I've had no problems laundering them. I wash in cold water on a "normal" cycle and throw them in the drier on "low".

From:AmandaPurcell

i recently bought this in 4 of the colours shown and they are just great!!! not only do they look fantastic but the sizing is true to fit and I'm so glad for Virtu!! finally great clothing that looks and feels sexy!!

From:Lisa

Great layering piece. Warm and a good length. True to size. Quite thick fabric.

From:Anne

I also had a disasterous experience with these tops. After washing them on cols wash they shrunk, are now way too short and bagged out. They are not a good quality and it's such a shame, with all the great colours to choose from.

From:Julie

On the basis of some of the reviews I only bought one of these tops to see how it went when washed. After washing per the instructions, I have found there to be no change in the top either larger or smaller. I will now buy an assortment of colours. Thank you Virtu for a fantastic basic long sleeved tee!

Size Guide

Find Your Virtu Size

At virtushop.com.au we style all our clothes with plus size women in mind and take pride in making clothes that fit comfortably and look great. To ensure your Virtu garment is just the kind of fit you like, please take a moment to measure yourself and then use our comprehensive size guide below to find your perfect size.

Alpha Sizing (XXS - XL)

When looking at our garments that are in alpha sizing (XXS-XL), it is important to remember that Virtu is plus sized clothing - so just because you are a XL in a non-plus sized label doesn't mean you're an XL in Virtu. In Virtu sizing, an XXS is a 12.
To make it easier to understand we've provided a size guide which equates to numerical sizing.

Measuring Tips

- All our measurements are in centimetres.
- When measuring, the tape should be firm, but not tight, with the measuring tape flat against the body.
- Measure over your underwear.
- If possible, have someone to help you measure to ensure the tape does not move

Body Measurements
Bust

Measure your bust at the fullest part of your chest.

Waist

To correctly measure your waist, you first need to find your natural waist. Bend to one side to find the natural crease of your waist, straighten up and measure around this point.

Hips

Standing with your feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hips.

Garment Measurements
Why is it important?

We provide the Inside Leg or Centre Back Measurement for each style in the product description. These are provided to help you understand where a garment will finish on your own body. The Inside Leg measurement tells you the length of a pair of pants or shorts and the Centre Back Measurement tells you the length of a top, jacket or shirt.

Inside Leg

The Inside Leg measurement is taken from the crotch of the garment
down to the hem.

Centre Back Measurement (CBM)

The Centre Back Measurement (CBM) is the length of the garment. For tops, dresses & jackets this point is generally taken from the back of your neck bone to the hemline. For skirts this is taken from where you would naturally wear your skirt to the hemline.

TS14+ Customers

If you are a TS14+ customer and are familiar with the TS14+ sizing, please be aware that some Virtu styles may be more generous due to the look, feel, styling and fabrics used in the Virtu collections. Please refer to the Stylist's Tips on the product for further sizing information.

Those in-between moments…

If your measurements show that you are between sizes, we recommend considering how you want to wear the item. Look closely at the Product Description on each style – not only will it give you details of the styling and cut, we always include any additional fit or fabric information pertaining to that garment. If you want to wear it loose you have the option to go up a size. If you are going for a more fitted look that accentuates your curves you can purchase the smaller size.

Colours

Please note that the true colours of some of the Virtu garments may vary slightly from what you see on your screen as every computer screen shows colours a bit differently. Fit depends on styling, cut and fabric so finding clothes that fit isn't always a straightforward process, if you're still unsure after following our instructions, please call our Customer Service Centre on AU - 1800 084 788 or NZ 0800 445 512 or Intl +61 3 9916 0786
