Softly with a whisper of lace, like fine classic music, this sweater is a masterpiece in concomitant simplicity and elegance. Alternating diagonals of eyelets suggest a soothing repetitive melody punctuated with the dainty staccato of herringbone faggot lace columns. The theme of pianissimo is echoed in the softly gathered bodice that adjoins the lacy saddle shoulder continuations of the full-length sleeves.
