I love Milady de Winter. She’s a badass femme fatale protagonist from a time when those were far and few between in novels. She schemes and plays the games of court to survive and thrive and goes toe to toe with Cardinals and Musketeers alike. While this cardigan can be used to unleash your inner femme fatale, you can also just enjoy a really flattering shape across all body shapes.
