An Australian fashion label has relaunched its most popular two-piece which has been sold out for weeks after hundreds of women bought it to wear while working from home during coronavirus isolation.
Maurie and Eve brought back its 'Nomade' set, a polyester outfit which features a $99 white knitted long-sleeved top and matching $99 flared trousers, on Monday due to customer demand.
But proving its universal appeal, the top has already sold out again just 24 hours after relaunching, with sizes six to 14 now available for pre-order on the sustainable Sydney brand's official website.
The matching pants are still available in size 12, but all other sizes must be pre-ordered with shipping starting from late June - so patience is a virtue you'll certainly need if you want to get your hands on the bohemian-inspired ensemble.

Maurie and Eve is not the only Australian brand racing to keep pace with increasing demand for stylish athleisure and loungewear.
Petal and Pup restocked its signature 'Rockford' trousers last week at the request of shoppers keen to relax in the soft beige pants during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Available in sizes extra small to extra large, the $89 Rockford pants have an elasticated waist and wide-legged flare, making them a fashion-forward yet comfortable choice for days spent at home.
The style sold out in weeks when they were first posted on the website, so the restock will come as welcome relief to customers who were eagerly waiting.

Comfort became king almost overnight for millions of Australians working from home under strict social distancing laws, with stilettos swapped for slippers and trouser suits traded for cosy lounge sets.
And while some are investing in luxurious clothing from the likes of Maurie and Eve and Petal and Pup, most are turning to fast fashion from retailers like Kmart which is currently selling a $30 set that's stylish and affordable in equal measure.
Available in sizes six to 24, the cotton and polyester set features a loose fitting long-sleeved top and comfortable pants with an elasticated waist, perfect for lounging around the house, doing chores or chasing after kids.

Kmart shoppers are calling the ensemble their 'lockdown uniform'.
'In a world currently full of uncertainty, take a moment to breathe. Or if you are like me appreciate the goodness [Kmart Australia] has to offer, like this sleep set that clearly won't be worn for sleep!' one woman wrote on Facebook.
Tracksuits, elasticated pants and loose-fitting jumpers dominated clothing sales in March, with the 'loungewear' category seeing a 120 percent increase in demand year on year according to new data from online retailer The Iconic.
