Jiree is a Japanese word for vest/cardigan. And this is exactly what this piece is. A versatile piece that can be made as a vest, or add sleeves for warmth. Overlapping fronts and ties allow the size to be adjustable to fit various sizes. Flared sleeves give it an extra touch giving it a little extra style! The single strand of boucle yarn makes the piece a soft loose textured yet flowing fabric that is both warm and comfortable!
