The name “Alectrona” refers to the Greek goddess, the goddess of the morning, or “waking from slumber.” In light of this inspiration, the blouse’s knitting pattern is structured yet delicate, representing beauty and strength at once.
Balloon sleeves and dainty lace make this blouse a striking addition to any wardrobe. It is worked top-down and features lace detail on the balloon sleeves and ribbed waist. The fit is relaxed, comfortable, and the ribbing on the waist will create a beautifully shaped blouse.
