A pullover with short dolman sleeves makes a versatile overlayer to add to your capsule wardrobe. Lohman ices the cake with a dreamy shawl collar in a handsome garter welt pattern. This garment is intended to fit with generous ease, but the light fabric of Loft or Tones Light will prevent it from overwhelming your frame.
