Camille Bolero
The Camille Bolero is a light gossamer bolero-style cardigan that ties at the waist. It has tailored shoulders and elegant elbow-length sleeves. It’s perfect to throw over a dress! Historically, boleros are said to originate from the Spanish bullfighter’s chaquetilla, first introduced in eighteenth-century Spain.
Ease: Note that the measurements should be your body, not the garment. The bolero is designed with an open bust, and is thus not meant to close over the bust but rather to tie at the waist or underbust as per your preference. The measurements noted are the measurements each size is designed to drape correctly across.
