Gone to Seed
Gone to Seed
Drop Shoulder Summer Tee Pattern
Gone to Seed evokes ears of wheat, cornsilk, late-season Atlantic tides when the water finally warms, and the way sand cools first in the purpling shadows of summer’s fading warmth. A simple ribbed trim and garter stitch button band compliment lace shoulder panels for a breezy summer garment.
The Gone to Seed tee is a Dolman button-down with a plunging v-neck and lace saddle shoulders. An effortless summer style in an ultra-wearable silhouette, this fit-focused design is a celebration of the yarns we turn to as the seasons turn.
