Samantha
$6.00
A dressy sweater perfect for keeping warm at winter parties. This sweater’s main draw is the oversized lace collar. Coordinating lace detailing at the hemline and on the sleeves add visual interest as well as creating a slightly flared appearance. A raglan style sweater knit in the round from the bottom up, Samantha requires little finishing and almost no seaming.
