Sebastian. Do I stand there? I never had a brother; 
 Nor can there be that deity in my nature, 
 Of here and every where. I had a sister, 
 Whom the blind waves and surges have devour’d. 
 Of charity, what kin are you to me? 
 What countryman? what name? what parentage?
Viola. Of Messaline: Sebastian was my father; 
 Such a Sebastian was my brother too, 
 So went he suited to his watery tomb…
Sebastian. …Were you a woman, as the rest goes even, 
 I should my tears let fall upon your cheek, 
 And say ‘Thrice-welcome, drowned Viola!’ 
 --Twelfth Night, Act V, Scene 1
A seamed, drapey, oversized sweater with asymmetrical cable panels on the front. Sample is 46” size, shown on a 38” bust for 8” of positive ease. Please also note that, since I’m tall and have a long torso, length was added on the sample so it would fall where it might on an average person. Length is easily customizable.
