Light and airy, this seamless design is worked from the bottom right to the shoulders. Hip lace details flow together at the front, with the lace echoed on the sleeve caps.
The delicate crocheted placket buttons and open sleeve edging makes this a summer top that can work for a night out or a dressed down day at the beach.
