The basic rib set consists of an oversized sweater with side slits and a narrow skirt in modern midi length. Both are knitted in 3/1 rib pattern and can be worn individually or as a set.
The Basicribsweater is characterized by the different knitting directions the body is worked with. The different lengths in front & back and the resulting side slit give the sweater that certain something.
Basicribskirt is a modern pencil skirt with side slits. In the waistband is incorporated elastic for maximum comfort.
