Have you been wondering what you can add to your wardrobe to dress up this season’s outfits in a really special way? Well, you’ve found It here!

Our beautiful top, knitted In a luxurious silky yarn has the perfect balance of comfort and fashion, with straight sides masked by an attractive cable and lace panel. It also incorporates everyone’s fall-safe style secrets - three quarter length sleeves and a subtle boat neck - for a flattering look that will deliver every time. As this top looks great on women of all shapes and sizes, it’s also an ideal gift if you want something really special for a loved one. The shorter waist length makes It perfect to wear with a skirt, so It’s just what you need to make you feel great when your other half takes you out for a meal!

The neckline is what really makes this design stand out. It’s knitted In a thin strip made of a combination of stitch patterns that’s attached on the side, making the stitches lie in a different direction to the stitches on the rest of the sweater. It’s a dramatic result, which looks stunning even when worn without a necklace. Matching earrings are all you need to finish the look.
