Key Design Features

Closure: a concealed zipper neatly integrated into the left side seam for a smooth finish.

Sleeves: Unique two-piece flutter sleeves, formed by separate front and back panels that overlap at the shoulder, are attached to the upper armhole, creating a soft, flowing silhouette. The lower armhole is neatly finished with a bias binding.

Hem: a classic straight hemline at hip length, offering versatility for tucking in or wearing untucked.

Level Of Difficulty
