Tea Leaf is a deep, earthy green that reads rich in any light. It is the color featured in the metal ring styling video, so you have already seen what it looks like in motion. The curly fringe at the top and hem adds movement and softness that makes every step feel intentional.

Neckline	Deep V plunge
Fringe	Curly fringe at the top and hem. This is how it ships.
Straps	Thick torso-wrap strings that wrap, cross, and tie for adjustable shaping and real support. Thicker ties available on request.
Back coverage	High-cut thong-back. Sits higher on the hip than the standard Hebe for more structured back coverage.
Material	100% acrylic yarn. Soft, holds its shape, water-friendly.
Wear	Swim-ready or styled as a statement bodysuit. Fetes, boat rides, yacht parties, beach days, dinners.

These are the measurements of the finished Hebe in Tea Leaf, Small. The exact piece in your cart. The adjustable wrap construction means they are your starting point, not a ceiling. The piece shapes to your body as you tie it.

Breast panel width	4.5 in (one-breast coverage)
Front panel height	15.5 in (bottom to top of flap)
Front-to-back rise	18 in (center front to center back, through the legs)

Neck to navel	Place the tape at the center of your collarbone and measure straight down to your navel.
Navel to low back	Place the tape at the center front just below your navel. Run it down through your legs and bring it up to the center of your lower back.

Fetes. Boat rides. Yacht parties. Dinner after the beach. The birthday where you want to be remembered. Tea Leaf works in every setting without trying. The high-cut back means you can move, sit, and turn around without second-guessing yourself. Wear it poolside, pair it with high-waisted trousers, or build a full look around it.
