Style and usage tips:

• Mercerization gives cotton yarn a shiny surface, so this sweater also has a subtle sheen that adds a touch of festivity. In addition, the yarn treatment improves its durability and helps this knit maintain its shape better.
• Dry the knit flat, e.g., on top of a drying rack
• Combine this vintage-style knit with a 50s full-skirted skirt or wide-leg trousers.
  
• Puffed sleeves gathered at the shoulders emphasize the shoulder area
