This is a lovely mid-weight, SOFT, beautiful sweater! It feels so good against the skin. Right out of the package it has a shiny appearance to it & the retro-style flowers are just too cute! It is very well made, seams are straight & intact, no strings hanging, no snags or pulled threads in the weave. There are no buttons or zippers. This sweater is very versatile especially because of the different colors in it but also because it can be dressed up with slacks or a skirt or down with jeans. Get 1 for yourself ladies;! I LOVE it & I think you will too!
