Silhouette: a sleek, body-hugging (bodycon) silhouette that sculpts the figure and falls gracefully to the knee.
Neckline: Features a distinctive asymmetric design, with an angled cut that creates a unique open detail on one side, contrasting with a higher, straighter line on the other.
Front: a prominent central front panel with extensive horizontal ruching (gathering) runs down the torso, creating texture and a flattering drape, framed by smooth, fitted side panels.
Sleeves: Long, slim-fit set-in sleeves extend to the wrist, completing the sleek profile.
Back: a clean, classic fitted back with a subtle vertical center seam for refined shaping.
Length: Knee-length, offering a balanced and elegant proportion.

No additional notions are required.
Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are sewn with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also sew the pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.
