With its tunic length and mesh fabric, the Fluid Lines Cover-Up is perfect for poolside lounging. The airy fabric, created with elongated stitches, ensures you’ll stay cool as you soak up the rays. This top is worked in three separate pieces then seamed. Five small buttons at the back secure the top closed, and a simple edging adds a bit of structure to the delicate fabric.
