Mirrored lace patterns adorn the front panels and a flattering v neck completes the sweet and fun look. With a variety of options to choose from, ranging from standard waist shaping or a straight silhouette with a mid-back eyelet row and accompanying i-cord waist tie, to ¾ length or long sleeves, it’s versatile and easy to customize for personal preferences and fits.
