Austin is a sleeveless dress with armhole darts and a keyhole opening at the center front. It is loosely fitted, and you can choose between a knee length A-line or midi-length gathered skirt and add optional patch pockets to carry your essentials. Topstitched seams and button band closures at the side seams add both function and design interest.
