A Bulky version of a vintage inspired shrug. Knit flat, bottom to collar, with very short seams at sides and underarms. Cap sleeves and over-sized collar add to the vintage feel.

Each size can accomodate a range of chest measurements, depending on how open or closed you prefer to wear it (pictured in size Romantique on a 37-inch bust, colour: ‘Poodle Skirt’).

-Romantique (34-40 inch bust)
-Renaissance (38-46 inch bust)
