CAPSULE
This sweater dress, also convertible into a standalone sweater, represents the perfect blend of comfort and femininity. It will become a must-have, whether for cold days with its turtleneck or funnel neck, or for your elegant evenings with its round scoop neckline option, including a bare back (but compatible with a bra). The sleeve, either slim fitted and finished with or without a buttoned cuff, or wide and gathered at the wristband, adds the final touch of elegance to the design.
