Vest or slipover with a deep dive, plunging V-neck, high back, low armhole with edging detail and drop shoulder. Knitted bottom up, in the round, the slipover splits at neck and armholes, then joins again at the shoulders. Neckline is picked up and a wide contrast gradient band is added.

Comfortable and lightweight, the Deep Dive Vest hugs your hips with a wide rib band, then eases to a relaxed upper body. Dress it up with a floaty sleeve blouse, give it added warmth with a turtleneck skivvy or head out for brunch in the weekend paired with jeans and a long sleeve buttoned t-shirt.

Great for the office paired with a business shirt, the extra low armholes vent the air keeping you cool and relaxed. Use the low V-neck to show off a special pendant necklace or neck scarf.
