Featuring:  

Relaxed at the shoulders, bust, waist and hips, dolman style top designed for woven fabrics. Come with different finish options for sleeves: a rolled hem, a cuffed hem and a ruffle hem. Neckline is finished with turned under binding or with a peter pan collar. It comes in above or below hip length with a curved rolled hem or with a straight deep hem. It does not have waistline shaping. The bust is shaped with two side seam darts. Comes in A-B, C-D and E-F cups. Due to the nature of relaxed dolman sleeve there is a soft fold, that falls along the armhole.

The neckline does not have closures as the neckline opening is wide enough to comfortably go over the head.

View A - a top with a curved hem and cuffed armholes

View B - a top with a curved hem, rolled hem armholes and a peter pan collar

View C - a top with a deep straight hem and armholes finished with ruffles
