Some pieces we reach for when we want to be seen arriving. This is one of them.

The volume does the work. Cut oversized through the body, falling just below the hip, with sleeves full enough to move on their own. The neckline gathers on a drawstring, trimmed with lace appliqué flowers and small sea shells, and two long ties hang loose from the centre front beside a column of shell. Ruffle cuffs at the wrist.

Crinkle fabric in pearl cream, which means it travels well and asks nothing of an iron.

Wears with the Nereid Skirt as a set.
