Overview: The Oceane top is made with a very soft and lightweight linen blend yarn that will keep you fresh in the summer time. It includes a beautiful lace detail that will allow your back to cool down even on those really hot summer days.
The top is cinched at the waste and rounded at the bottom to emphasize the feminine curves, without the need to be worn close to the skin.
