The Shoreline Sweater features saddle shoulders that are shaped using short rows for a comfortable yet structured fit. The sweater has a subtle all-over cable motif that adds texture without compromising drape. Both the saddle shoulders and gentle cables bring a timeless style with a polished result.

Sizes - XXS (XS) S (M/L) XL/2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL)

The Shoreline Sweater has 10-12” {25-30 cm} of positive ease for sizes XXS-M and gradually less positive ease for sizes L-5XL. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M/L) XL/2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust circumference of 28 (30) 34 (38/42) 45/48 (52) 56 (60)“ {71 (76) 86 (96.5/106.5) 114/122 (132) 142 (152) cm} (the final size of garment will be an additional 10-12” {25-30 cm}). This means that if you measure a 34” {86 cm} bust you will make size (S) with a finished bust circumference of 45¾” {114.5 cm}. Sample shown modeled is 5’ 2” {157 cm} tall wearing Size (S) with approx. 11¾“ {29.5 cm} positive ease.
