Short Description: A lightweight cropped pullover exploring the contrast between softness and structure: softness in the silhouette and the lacy yoke, structure in the linear texture of the ribbing and a split high-low hem. With no waist shaping, flattering feminine lines are created with careful placement of various ribbed stitch patterns combined with the drape of the light fabric and positive ease.
