Breeze through the day in this romantic blouson bodice. An eyelet rib runs from the bottom to a waist-defining casing concealing an elastic band for a flattering fit. Then the easy drape of stockinette rises to the eyelet lace panel of the neck placket. The subtle scoop neck dips slightly lower in the front than in the back. Careful details like the echoed lace panel at the nape of the neck and a double-sided neckband for stability deliver a top that’s informal, but polished and easy to dress up or down.
