''This Tee was inspired by the luxurious yarn and its beautiful soft sheen. Featuring a feminine lace pattern with a v-neck and dropped short sleeves, this tee has the ultimate amount of drape due to the nature of the yarn. This is an easy, yet engaging knit that is hard to put down once you feel this beautiful silk yarn!'' - Andrea Yetman
