Product Insights
The Knotted Waist Cami from Contemporaine is an exclusive Simons design (34 CAD) made from organic cotton as part of a lower-impact fiber strategy. Its adjustable knot allows customization of fit and side slit openness, and the cami can be worn tied or as a straight-hem top, pairing well with wide-leg or straight-leg bottoms or layered under a blazer. The fabric offers high breathability (3000-5000 MVTR) and 50% 4-way stretch with excellent recovery and shape retention across 50 washes, though the white version may become slightly sheer at the knot when cinched tightly or under bright light. The main tradeoff is a 49 premium over Joe Fresh organic tanks in exchange for the designed knot and side slit, balanced by the need for careful maintenance—cold washing, no fabric softener, and line drying while damp—to preserve softness, stretch, and shape over time.

Ce vêtement de me convenait pas.

Parfait pour ma silhouette
J'adore ce haut puisque j'en ai acheté deux de différentes couleurs. Il me fait comme un gant.

Décevant
Même la taille TG était trop petite et le chandail était moulant; on ne voyait même pas le noeud de fantaisie sur le côté. Très décevant. Je l'ai retourné.
Nice lines
This is a good tip to wear over pants or skirt as long as the waistline is smooth not flows very well and emphasizes waist more than a regular tshirt
Punching strange
Found the slit area fit strange. Had to return.
