Waterhouse’s dramatic, dolman silhouette makes for a versatile styling item. The deep armholes accommodate wide, three-quarter length sleeves, and the A-line silhouette is flattering on many body types. The pretty lace motifs that adorn the fabric are anchored with a more utilitarian treatment of the hems, cuffs and epaulets (worked in garter stitch). The relaxed, swingy nature of this garment makes it both stylish and wearable.
