This type of twist-front-knot detailing works very well on a range of body types because it nips you in at a narrow part of the torso, and glides over the rest. Easy, comfy, classic, and elegant.

SUPER cute cropped little cotton cardigan with darling gold buttons. VERY comfy. This has a lovely boxy '60s look to it that stole my heart. I wear it all buttoned up like a top with a higher rise or skirt.

I've been looking for a Breton stripe in a trendier silhouette, and this is it. Very roomy on the midsection and with an architectural dropped '80s sleeve. The hem tapers a little and has bound side slits so it works beautifully worn out over bottoms. It has a subtle sleeve cuff, and a bound neck too. Substantial rugby jersey fabric, and well made. Comes in neutrals.

I'm plugging this dress again because it's beautifully flattering, and I feel like a million bucks in it. For $67 it earned a place in my wardrobe, and I'm wearing it now. It's a pink and red geometric pattern that blends to look orange. Almost all my dresses are high maintenance laundry, sustainably produced, and made of natural fibres. This low-maintenance dress is easier for a change. I stitched the neckline up a bit to create a high V-neckline that's better suited to my body type, and it's perfect. This type of twist-front-knot detailing works very well on a range of body types because it nips you in at a narrow part of the torso, and glides over the rest. Especially great on those who wear V-necks well. Easy to launder and wear, comfy, classic, and elegant. I love the slight '70s vibe too.
