The band is the garment. A single deep panel of ribbing is folded back on itself and set across the top of the arms, and everything below it hangs from that one horizontal line.
It works because the fold gives the band weight - doubled over, it has enough substance to sit where it is put rather than riding up through the day. The knit below is fine and soft with a slight brushed surface, the sleeves are long and set narrow, and the body is cut close without gripping. There is no other seam doing any structural work.
It is an evening neckline on a piece you could wear to almost anything, which is a rarer combination than it should be.
Details You'll Love
- Deep folded ribbed band - doubled over so it has the weight to stay where it is set.

- Fine brushed knit - soft-surfaced below the band, with no competing texture.
- Narrow long sleeves - kept slim so the band remains the only volume.
