Black Wattle is knit top down and seamless with a semi set in sleeve.

It has a relaxed fit, featuring a long unstructured and versatile cowl neck line which can be tucked in, folded, or left to fall softly.

The flattering asymmetric hemline has its deepest point slightly toward the back of the right side seam.

After blocking, the short row and lace hemline, relax to achieve a lovely easy fitting hip line.
