Views C and D, on the other hand, have a straighter cut from the waist to the ankle, with knee-length side slits for a stunning dress finish.
Views A and C are sleeveless, reminiscent of a racerback but with ample coverage to wear with a regular bra. Views B and D boast long, fitted sleeves that extend all the way to the wrist. Overall, the Nikko pattern offers four versatile options that are sleek, modern, and perfect for any occasion.
