This item can be worn in two ways: with the front or back open, and with a zipper (a sturdy YKK zipper, not a cheap Chinese one), allowing it to be worn like a vest. The side without the zipper has a deep V-neck with a front strap design, creating a relaxed feel. The design works well worn either way. In warmer weather, pair it with a sleeveless top or camisole, or with short sleeves if you're concerned about your arms. The fabric is sturdy enough to be worn all year round depending on the inner layer! It can also be dressed up for occasions by pairing it with a blouse. Length: Approximately 124cm Photos 1-4 are of the actual item. Photos 5 and later are reference images. Worn about three times and home-cleaned. Thank you for looking.
