Design Details and Benefits
- Twist placed at the centre front only - keeps the rest of the top smooth so the gather stays the one clear detail
- Floral print layered over an animal-print base - gives the pattern more depth than a single flat motif would
Layering two prints on top of each other is a harder trick to pull off than it looks - one usually drowns the other out - but keeping the floral motif large and the animal print as the background is what stops that happening here. The twist at the centre bust is doing quieter work: gathering the fabric at one point gives the top actual shape, rather than the flat lie of a plain triangle cut. Worth knowing before you order: the print is busy rather than subtle, so this suits someone who wants the pattern to be the whole look rather than a background detail.
