How do you make the “cheap frills cami” any cuter? Make it a puffball! This cami has negative ease over the bust to make it super fitted to your body. With a super fun puffball hem sitting just under your bust giving lots of volume. The straps are wide functional ties, but with the option to have a straight strap. She’s cropped in length but with directions to lengthen if needed.
Ps. It’s seamless.
