Dramatic, elegant, and seamless (literally!). South Woods combines the clean lines of a simple pullover with a striking all-over lace pattern. The result is a stunning statement piece. The loose, flowing bottom hem gradually transitions to a fitted, tailored top, complete with set-in sleeves for a comfortable fit. And the innovative construction technique means NO SEAMS!
