This top-down tunic utilizes a clever seamless set-in sleeve construction. Sweater can be worked dress-length (shown in blue) or tunic-length to hit at hip (shown in brown). The design features slightly puffy sleeves, a flattering pleat underneath the bust, and a side split at thigh. Gentle waist shaping creates extra ease around the hips. Shown in XS (dress) and S/M (tunic).
