Wyethia

Graceful lace and a boxy fit make the Wyethia an easy going and pretty summer tee. The lace creates a gently scalloped hem that is lower in the back than the front. The V neck beautifully frames the face without being too low. Wear it cropped over a dress or choose the longer length to wear with shorts. Either way, Wyethia will be a staple in your summer wardrobe. Instructions for two body lengths (cropped and full) are included. Short rows shape the shoulders for a refined fit.
