Orilla

A breezy sleeveless top featuring a centered dip stitch and unique shoulder ties for a custom fit.

CONSTRUCTION & FIT: Worked in a fingering weight cotton/wool blend, Orilla’s center dip stitch pulls the front body upward to create a curved hemline, while I-cord straps allow you to easily adjust the yoke fit. Orilla is knit from the bottom up in pieces and seamed. Armhole edges are worked simultaneously with the yoke, so there’s no additional finishing.
