We think that Ilga has achieved something very beautiful with her Afternoon Breezes. Exactly the right amount of shaping to give this vest a fluid drape and elegant line. Worked with double yarn overs in a filet mesh pattern, this side-to-side creation evokes an afternoon summer breezes, warm and cooling all at the same time. Knit in Flaxen's blend of linen and silk, it barely touches the body, yet graces it with a feminine drape. Ahhhh!
