You need this one conversation starter that works for gallery openings and brunch dates equally well. The optical print means you're always interesting, while the midi length keeps it sophisticated.

Design Details & Benefits

• Optical Print Engineering: Not the dizzying patterns that overwhelm - this is carefully scaled to flatter your figure while creating visual interest. The swirls follow the body's natural curves.
• Midi Length Proportions: Hits at the most flattering point on your calf. The hem is finished to maintain its shape and won't stretch out with wear.
• Long Sleeve Fit: Fitted through the arm without being restrictive. The sleeves maintain their shape and won't bag out at the elbows.
• Body-Conscious Construction: Designed to skim rather than squeeze. The stretch ensures you can move comfortably while maintaining the sleek silhouette.
• Colour Vibrancy: The lime green is rich and saturated, designed to maintain its intensity through multiple washes and wears.
• Print Placement: Strategically positioned to create the most flattering optical effect while maintaining pattern continuity at seams.
