Design details include 3 small pleats at the front neckline which helps to provide the fullness for the bustline. The back neckline features an optional keyhole detail. You can always opt to just cut the back bodice on the fold and not cut the keyhole for an entirely different look.
The cap sleeves are cut on the bias with the lower edge of the armhole finished with a bias binding. The waistband fits a little under the bust but not as low as the regular waistline. The front of the waistband is not elasticized creating a smooth silhouette to the front of the dress.
The slightly A-line skirt is roomy without being too full and offers 4 different hemlines: tunic knee mid-calf and maxi so not only can this design be a dress but a darling top as well.
