Fabric Selection & Construction Quality
Every Alex Marie top begins with carefully sourced fabrics chosen for their performance and longevity. Our stretch poplin combines long-staple cotton with a touch of elastane for comfort that doesn’t compromise structure, while our silk charmeuse is woven from Grade-A mulberry silk that passes rigorous quality inspections.
We partner with mills that prioritize sustainable practices and fair labor standards. Each alex marie tops piece undergoes multiple quality checkpoints before it reaches you—from initial fabric inspection through final garment review. French seams, reinforced stress points, and bar-tack stitching at pocket corners ensure durability through seasons of wear.
Sizing & Fit Guidance
Finding Your Perfect Fit
Our alex marie tops run true to size based on standard US sizing, with most styles available from XS through XXL or sizes 0–18 depending on the silhouette. We design with real body proportions in mind—our button-downs feature darted backs and tailored shoulders that accommodate different frames without pulling or gaping.
For the most accurate fit, measure yourself wearing the undergarments you’ll pair with the top. Compare your bust, waist, and hip measurements to our detailed size chart available on each product page. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up in fitted styles like the stretch poplin shirt, and staying with your usual size in relaxed-fit pieces like the pintucked crepe blouse.
Care Instructions to Extend Garment Life
Proper care preserves the beauty and integrity of your alex marie tops for years. Our cotton poplin and merino wool pieces are machine washable on gentle cycles using cool water and mild detergent—turn them inside out first to protect surface finishes and prevent color fading.
For silk charmeuse, we recommend hand washing in cool water with silk-specific detergent, or using your machine’s delicate cycle in a mesh garment bag. Never wring silk; instead, roll it gently in a towel to remove excess water, then lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. The crepe blouse is surprisingly low-maintenance—machine wash and hang to dry, and it emerges virtually wrinkle-free.

Yes, all Alex Marie tops can be tailored for a more customized fit. Our button-down shirts have generous seam allowances that allow for letting out or taking in through the side seams. Sleeves can be shortened, and the shirt length can be adjusted without compromising the curved hem design.
Because our silk camisole has adjustable straps, most customers don’t need alterations, but a skilled tailor can adjust the side seams if you want a more fitted silhouette. We recommend bringing the garment to an experienced tailor who works with delicate fabrics for best results.
