Marcela Blouse is knitted with two strands held together: one strand of silk and one strand of kid silk mohair. This blouse is worked seamlessly from the top down in the round, allowing the garment to grow organically from neckline to hem. The saddle sleeves are shaped with care to create a tailored silhouette while maintaining the effortless drape of the fabric. Delicate picot details frame the neckline, sleeve edges, and the folded hem.
