Description
A sporty crop top with open back and crossed straps
This sporty crop top by Eldar is plain at the front and busy at the back. From the front you see a scoop neck and a wide lettered band under the bust. Turn around and the back is open, held by elastic straps that cross between the shoulder blades.
The front is a double layer of fabric without padding. The composition is 50% cotton, 45% polyamide and 5% spandex. It comes in black and white, in S to XL.

The piece: an Eldar top in black and white
Eldar is a lingerie and loungewear label we buy through a fashion wholesaler in Poland. The supplier's description is short: a top in a sporty style with an open back made of crossed elastic bands, a front in a double layer of fabric with no padding, and matching leggings that can be bought separately.
The photos add the lettering. The band under the bust and the vertical band down the back are printed with the words new spirit. The leggings in the photos carry the same band at the waist. They are not part of this product.
The supplier files the top under soft bras and makes no statement about how much support it gives.
Who it's for
For you if you like the sporty look for yoga, a walk, a lazy Sunday or under an open shirt in summer. The half-cotton fabric makes it a top for comfort.
We would be careful with running or other high-impact sport. The top has no padding and no wire, and the supplier does not rate its support, so for that kind of training a dedicated sports bra is the safer choice.
Closer look: what the maker's data and the photos show
- Sporty style with an open back of crossed elastic bands (maker's data)
- Front in a double layer of fabric, no padding (maker's data)
- Scoop neckline and wide shoulder straps (photos)
- Wide elastic band under the bust with the words new spirit (photos)
- Vertical lettered band down the centre of the back (photos)
The top pulls on over the head; the photos show no hooks or clasp.
Fabric and feel: half cotton, half polyamide
The maker lists 50% cotton, 45% polyamide and 5% spandex. Cotton gives the soft, familiar feel. Polyamide makes the knit smoother and helps it keep its shape, and the spandex adds stretch.
Because the front is double, the white version is less see-through than a single layer would be. The supplier makes no promise on that point, so we will not either.
Fit and silhouette: sized like a bra
The maker's table works with two measurements. For size S the underbust is 68-72 cm and the chest 82-86 cm. For M that is 74-78 and 88-92 cm, for L 80-84 and 94-98 cm, and for XL 86-90 and 100-104 cm.
Measure under the bust first, because the elastic band has to sit flat there. If your chest falls in a larger size than your underbust, take the size of your chest: a band that is slightly loose is more comfortable than a front that is too small.
Size chart (cm)
| Size | Underbust | Chest |
|---|---|---|
| S | 68-72 | 82-86 |
| M | 74-78 | 88-92 |
| L | 80-84 | 94-98 |
| XL | 86-90 | 100-104 |
Source: the maker's size table, the same for both colours. Underbust is measured around the ribcage under the bust, chest around the fullest part.
Styling: show the back
In the photos the top is worn with black leggings that repeat the lettered band at the waist. Any high-waisted black leggings will give a similar line.
Off the mat, wear it under a loose shirt left open, or with wide jeans and a zip hoodie that you take off when it gets warm. A low ponytail keeps the straps at the back in view.
Occasions
Yoga, pilates, stretching, a walk, a day at home, a festival, a beach bar. It is a top for moving a little and looking sporty while you do it.
Care: follow the label
The maker's data we receive has no care instructions, so please go by the label sewn into the top.
Elastic lasts longer without a tumble dryer. That holds for almost every top with a printed band.
The wow detail: the back
One vertical band runs from the neck to the underbust band, and thin straps branch off it and cross to the sides. It looks like a small piece of graphic design on your back, and it leaves most of your skin free, which is welcome when you get warm.
