Custom Orchid Vest
The Orchid Vest is a versatile pullover but with a playful twist.
It pairs well with jeans for a fun, yet casual look. Or dressed up with a skirt or layered over a dress.
The design features a drop stitch pattern along the bottom that creates a fun, flared effect. And the Fluffy Brioche pattern provides a nice detail around the waist, and a unique alternative for ribbing around the neck and arm openings.
