For serious study time at the library or just looking stylishly studious, we offer the Peridot Blouse & Ankle Pants. The relaxed fit of the Blouse features aband at the bottom hem and loose-fitting sleeves. Personalize the detachable Peter Pan-style collar in any number of ways to embellish the Blouse or another garment in your little girl’s wardrobe. The slim Pants showcase a row of small covered buttons at the ankles, and the fitted waist with side zipper lends a tailored look.
Suggested Fabrics:
For the Peridot Blouse and detachable collar, we recommend light-to-medium weigh woven fabrics, such as cotton shirtings, poplin, voile, and quilting cotton. The Pants work well with most bottom-weight fabrics, such as stretch twill and corduroy, however having some stretch in the Pants fabric is not necessary.
