Aigues - T-Shirt

Name: Aigues - T-Shirt
Brand: Audrey Borrego
Availability: InStock

Aigues is a dream of a tee – it's fabulous on its own and equally great pulled over a camisole or a light summer dress. Its comfy, oversized fit and structured lines make it an easy warm weather staple in any wardrobe.

Aigues is worked from the top down, first flat for the back and front until the desired armhole depth, and then in the round. The structured lace pattern is intuitive and contemplative. It allows for air to flow through, but isn't see through.
