From Brave New Knits:

Rustic in look but luxurious in feel, Classic Silk is the perfect yarn for a simple peasant blouse trimmed in a tulip lace stitch. A notched neckline adorned with a leaf motif complements the tulip edgings. Wide dolman sleeves add a bit of whimsy, and gentle princess-line shaping flatters the figure, nipping in the oversized silhouette by just the right amount.
