The V-neckline and front button closure maintain a flat, stable edge, while the cropped silhouette forms a straight upper shape that transitions into a scalloped hem with repeating wave-like curves for defined structure. The long sleeves follow the same uniform mesh construction from shoulder to cuff, giving the garment a consistent drape and flexible movement.
