Liliana is a semi-fitted vest, featuring bust darts relocated to the princess seams and double welt pockets. The back includes shoulder darts, princess seams, and waist-cinching tabs with D-ring fasteners. An inverted V-shaped detail graces the back hem. Fastened with four buttons and buttonholes, Liliana is fully lined and sits at a high-hip length.
Please note that Liliana is designed to be worn as a stand-alone piece with a relatively high armhole level. If layering over a sweater or blouse, consider deepening the armhole for added comfort.
