neck, lowered shoulders and an oversized feel. Ideal to wear over jeans or a dress, in true boho style.
It’s made up of thick, lightweight cotton so it won’t be too hot, and the broken brioche stitch gives it textural interest. The back hem is longer than the front hems, and the hems are rounded.
Modify it to suit your figure ( shown here in the extra tall version) and slouch fashionably around all day long….
