Description

Rochester is a comfortable, effortless style with a gentle A-line shape and a gathered front neckline. It has a deep pleat at the centre back, a curved hem with side splits, and a stitched facing. The elbow-length sleeves feature a deep stitched hem for a neat finish. The top (Version A) sits at mid-hip, making it a perfect match for jeans.
