Glenlea is a bottom-up, sleeveless, three-season top with a wheat motif lace hem. There is optional waist shaping for a more feminine silhouette, and the deep lace hem portion can be customized to your liking. The name is a variety of Canadian wheat, which surrounded my hometown on the Alberta prairie.
