The Beach Plum Cover Up is an oversized tunic style top that is perfect over any bathing suit! The loose stitches allow for airflow which is perfect for letting a summer breeze flow through. The construction of this piece is a little different than other garments. The yoke is worked in rows that stretch the entire length of the piece from arm end to arm end, then folded in half and seamed under the arms. The body is then worked off the yoke.
