The pattern is worked seamlessly top-down, starting with the shoulder straps featuring horizontal ruching.

Waves breaking to form sea foam inspired me to feature the horizontal ruching pattern. This pattern draws its inspiration from the quiet yet dramatic beauty of nature. The top is designed to be timeless and fit any occasion.
