2:54 this guy a couple things i think are 2:55 fabulous about it is that seam that hits 2:57 you below the bust line 2:59 so very flattering a full sleeve but 3:02 still hits at that elbow and on my 3:04 petite frame 3:05 just above the knee length now airy 3:09 sophisticated and fun i'm going to be 3:11 wearing this out to dinner and drinks on 3:14 my vacation but don't think twice about 3:17 it
