Design Details and Benefits
- Gathered crop on thin straps - the volume sits at the bust, so the waist stays clean
- High waist on the shorts - covers the hip and meets the crop with a short gap
- Flared ruffle hem - keeps the shorts from reading as tiny briefs
The matching print is the whole point. A plain white crop with spotted shorts would look thrown together; running the same large dots over both pieces makes it a set you can walk out in. The ruffle on the crop and again at the short hem is the same idea, so the volume is shared rather than dumped on one piece. Worth knowing: the crop is short and the shorts are short, so a band of midriff stays on show. If you want a covered waist or a longer short, this isn't the one.
