The garment has a woven underlay and insert with a lace knit overlay to simulate a layered-look. The sleeveless pullover garment is collarless and the woven inner portion features a scooped neckline and spaghetti shoulder straps. The knit outer portion features a v-neckline and approximately two and half inch wide shoulder straps, a side zipper, an empire waist, a full lining and a hemmed bottom.
