Slim-fit Dress & Top has a faced boat neckline and elbow-length gathered sleeves. Rib trim finishes the cuffs & hem. Choose from the chicly playful knee-length Dress or try the lovely hip-length Top. This style is perfect for adding your favorite embellishments, like stenciling, beading or embroidery-we’ve included instructions for working those gorgeous big flowers too!
You’ll be totally set for Spring & Summer when you team the Dress with some Summery wedges or strappy flats. Try the Top over our Riviera Hello, Sailor! Pants or our Weekender Jean Jeanius Trouser Jeans for a great everyday outfit. Need we tell you to add fabulous shades and a great bag?
