Put a little swing in your step with this body-skimming cardigan. Flattering to any body type, a closed-cable motif graces the upper back and two mirrored cables frame a soft gusset. The moss stitch kimono-style bands frame the front, with a single dramatic button placed near the sternum.
Choose a size that is close to your actual bust measurement, or with slight positive ease.
