Description

Demi is a laid-back, loose-fit blouse characterised by a straight silhouette. It incorporates bust darts in the front and shoulder darts along with a central seam in the back. The long, set-in sleeves offer a relaxed fit, while a crew neckline with a button and button loop closure adds a stylish touch. The side seams are slit at the hem, and Demi falls to hip length, with the front being 4cm (1 5/8") shorter than the back.
