The Petal Spell Slipover is a dreamy, lightweight summer top that features an allover floral lace design that is crocheted in one seamless piece from the bottom up. Customize your slipover with two length options—regular or cropped—and choose between side ties or a button closure to suit your own personal style. With its relaxed, boxy fit, the Petal Spell Slipover is the perfect warm weather top but it also layers effortlessly over dresses and long sleeves.
