The Zinnia Off-Shoulder Top is one of those pieces that instantly makes you feel pretty the moment you put it on. It’s soft, a little flirty, and so easy to wear. The wide off-shoulder band gives it that breezy summer vibe, while the simple stitches keep it comfy and relaxed. The best part? You can make it completely your own by adjusting the fit, length, or sleeve width to suit your style. It’s the kind of project you’ll enjoy making and even more enjoy showing off.
