Featuring a beautiful floral lace pattern that graces the front and back, Michelle makes an ethereal layering piece. The V neckline of the overlapped fronts is flattering to wear. The relaxed silhouette counterbalanced with fitted sleeves gives the classic faux-wrap sweater a fresh modern update in both comfort and style. The sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down with short-rows shaping the shoulders. Three sleeve length options are available for vest to pullover.
