- It frames necklaces and earrings beautifully.
- It looks striking with three-quarter or elbow-length sleeves.
Styling ideas
- Use a contrast piping line along the neck.
- Pair with a pretty back design such as a keyhole or dori for balance.

Good to know
Because the neckline is wide, accurate shoulder measurements matter. Use the measurement guide before you order.
