Inspired by the Nehru collar, KERI is a light and airy blouse and dress design with a fluid silhouette and a button tab. The dress version features subtle side pockets and an optional waist string for a tailored silhouette. The back is elegantly detailed with an inverted pleat and two delicate pleats at the neckline. KERI’s long sleeves are finished with sophisticated cuffs and subtle slits. The garment is sewn with elegant French seams, so you can choose a sheer fabric and be sure of a neat finish.

Fabric Recommendations:
Choose a light or medium-weight woven fabric. Natural fibres such as cotton or linen work particularly well to hold the shape, volume, and character of the design.
