David in the Clouds brings a classical portrait to an art print bikini top, with
the face positioned to one side and blue sky across the rest. The asymmetrical image
gives the front its character; the back carries the quieter cloud print.

Behind the portrait is a 35mm photograph of clouds above JFK, taken by [Quirk founder and designer Melynda](https://shopquirkla.com/vintage-fashion-boutique/)
on a trip to New York Fashion Week. Layered with a digital photograph of David, 
the film image turns a familiar sculpture into a very different kind of vacation
portrait.

## A pullover art print bikini top

This is a fixed-strap pullover style with a low neckline and a scooped back. Smooth
recycled stretch fabric follows the body, while a double layer and removable pads
let you choose the amount of padding. The straps are not adjustable, so checking
both bust and underbust measurements is useful before choosing a size.

 * Blue, white and gray sculpture-and-cloud print
 * Fixed straps and pullover construction
 * Double-layer fabric with removable pads
 * Non-reversible
 * Handmade to order in S, M, L and XL
 * Top sold separately; bottoms shown in photographs are not included

Pair it with the [David on the Butt bikini bottoms](https://shopquirkla.com/product/recycled-high-waisted-bikini-bottom-4/)
for a set that carries the portrait from front to back. A solid blue or white bottom
also leaves room for the artwork.

## Fabric and care

Fabric composition varies by production location: 75% recycled polyester and 25%
elastane for pieces made in the US or Mexico; 88% recycled polyester and 12% elastane
for pieces made in Latvia. Check the garment label for the exact composition of 
your top.

Rinse thoroughly after swimming to remove salt or chlorine, and follow the care 
label. Avoid rough surfaces and hook-and-loop fasteners that can snag the fabric.

## Fit and measurements

Measure around the fullest part of your bust, then around your ribcage directly 
beneath it. Keep the tape level for both measurements. If you fall between sizes,
choose the larger size.

 Body measurements — inches (centimeters)  |  Size |  Bust |  Underbust |  
   |  S |  34 5/8 (88) |  29 1/8 (74) |  
 |  M |  36 1/4 (92) |  30 3/4 (78) |  
 |  L |  39 3/8 (100) |  33 1/2 (85) |  
 |  XL |  42 1/2 (108) |  36 1/4 (92) |

The size guide also includes flat garment measurements. Compare them with a fixed-
strap swim top you already like. Choose your size above, or see the print in the
