Wayra also pays attention to pretty details and finishes:
✿ delicate gathers at the shoulders for a touch of femininity,
✿ an elasticated back which gently adds volume,
✿ a revisited shirt collar
✿ a lined back yoke for an interior as clean as the exterior,
✿ beautiful facings that complete the look.
