Thisby’s relaxed raglan fit and practical, three-quarter length sleeves make it an ideal partner for pottering about the garden, artistic explorations in finger painting, or mixing up a batch of cookies in the kitchen — taste testing required, of course! Lively columns of eyelets and textured cuffs and hem add a dash of spice, while the seamless, top-down construction in soft and springy Arbor is delightfully nice.
