Prompted by a styling request from daughter Juliet, this is a slim-fitting sweater with three-quarter sleeves and placket closures on both the shoulders and sleeve cuffs. Its deep round neckline ribbed in white and enhanced by the sparkle of the shoulder buttons, adds visual interest that frames the face nicely.
