Floral Wool Sweater

I made this one of a kind sweater by reconstructing this out of a vintage, over-sized cardigan sweater made for men

 

This Lovely, pull-over style sweater features a cross-over V neckline. I removed the original sleeves and made them more fitted. Sleeves have long ribbed cuffs. To give this sweater a more indie look (see photo 2 & 3 for reference), I re-attached the sleeves by placing the stitches on the outside of the shoulder seam. I surrounded the right, front-neckline with a series of handcrafted flowers. Each flower has a black beaded center. I removed the original cuffed hem & re-applied it to the center of this top to give it a baby-doll style. I attached it with zig-zag stitching on the outside. The buttons on the bottom half are functional-Very unique & pretty sweater! Great for layering too :-)
