A cropped sweater that makes you happy with a lot of colours and funny sleeves. Why the peacock? It has a deep meaning for me. I’ll explain.

This is meant to be a cropped sweater, to wear with high waist trousers or skirts. It has underarm ease. The sleeves should fit very loosely, and they are very long.
