Description
The Lil’ Bow Peep Vest is a chunky, cropped, pullover vest that screams all things bowtiful! With its accent colour around the trims and a lil’ bow in the centre, there’s nothing bow-ring about this vest. Made with super bulky wool and big stitches, you’ll be shocked at how quickly it all comes together, there’s no doubt a-bow-tit (ok I’m done…for now).
