INTRO
With a frill hem and cuffs, delicate lace at the front neckline, puffed sleeves and a square neckline, the Sugarplum Crop is a showpiece. This cropped, set-in-sleeve design uses fingering and mohair lace yarns held together to create a nebulous fabric. Bust darts can be worked optionally to add length to the bust area.
