Aiyu Tee
The Aiyu Tee is a fitted summer crop top with flutter sleeves and lace edging details. The seamless set-in sleeve construction is designed for plant fibre yarn. Typical set-in sleeve construction requires shortrows which creates unsightly holes if you are using plant fibres. This construction overcomes that problem.
Details
