Picket Fences is a light, lacy tee that can be enjoyed all summer long. It features a flattering garter-edged neckline with a bit of whimsy. The garter edge “dips” down into the lace pattern making the neckline a point of interest with extra special detail. This feature is repeated again on the lower edge. The tee is worked from the top down and offers both medium- (or shorter-) length sleeves.
