Summer Luxe Tee
We all need a summer staple top in our wardrobe.
I’ve designed this tee with a long sleeve and short sleeve version that pairs well with just about anything.
Recommended ease: 4 - 6” (10 - 15.25 cm) of positive ease.
Sample shown in size 4 with with chest measuring 46”.
This go-to summer top is a top down construction.
It features texture from the raglan that is continuous along the underarm side panels.
I’ve also added a small drop stitch detail to the neckline and hems.
