Description
Sumaya is an elegantly tailored blouse with a semi-fitted silhouette that gently emphasizes the waist. The front design showcases a slit in the centre seam that elegantly extends into a crossover draped detail. Divided into two parts, these segments twist gracefully at the bust, seamlessly transitioning into a pleated grown-on stand collar, adding a touch of sophistication to the blouse's frontal view.
The back of the blouse is crafted with meticulous detail, featuring shoulder darts and a central seam that ensures a contoured and flattering shape. Additionally, a keyhole opening at the back is incorporated for added flair and ease of wear. The stand collar, coupled with a button and rouleau loop closure, offers a refined and secure finish to the neckline.
Its long, set-in sleeves are designed to be semi-fitted, complementing the overall tailored look. Sumaya is crafted to a hip-length, striking a balance between versatility and style, making it a chic and versatile piece for various occasions.
