What can be more traditional or ladylike than ruffles? Emma’s Wrap was inspired by the brave, lively, and well-intentioned heroine of Jane Austen, always ready to express her thoughts and feelings and the first one to laugh at her own failures. The wrap is designed to express all this freedom. It covers the arms from wrist to wrist. The stockinette body allows the wrap to sit on the shoulders safely, while the bell-shaped ruffles add interest and warmth to the arms. The wrap is framed by I-cord edging, but for a more sophisticated look, the ruffles are finished without selvedge stitches.
