Inspired by Andromeda of Greek mythology, this top/tunic features a breezy A-line shape, side gathers and flutter sleeves with optional stellar motif over the bust in sequins.

The light and frothy fabric, reminiscent of the sea foam swirling around Andromeda’s feet as she was chained to the rocks, flows into Grecian-styled gathers at the sides. Deceptively cozy, this piece is a great way to look lovely and be comfortably warm in Spring.
