It is made using two separate pieces of material wrapped across the body and held at the side seam at times with a button or tie but most often essentially sewn into the seam. The crossover of the material makes a deep v-neck which is perfect for everyone but the flat chested. The wrapped pieces are joined making a unique effect over the stomach and breasts.
