The Skipper Top and Dress has a relaxed, breezy silhouette with a loose and boxy fit but is not oversized. It features a scoop neck and slightly dropped shoulders, giving a mini cap sleeve appearance. The back has a high yoke with a soft, gathered panel.
View A is a slightly cropped top designed to hit between the belly button and high hip.
View B is a mini dress with patch pockets.
View C is a midi dress with inseam pockets and side slits. Both dress views create a flattering, column-like silhouette.
