Lorelei is a sophisticated, open-back cardigan featuring gorgeous lace panels on the front and back. It perfectly complements any spring dress. A delicate button closes the back pieces. Our favorite thing about this piece is that you can also wear it with the opening at the front, like a more traditional cardigan. Whichever way you choose to wear it, you’re sure to love this beautiful layering piece.
