Floral Cardian 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, button-front sweater features a V neckline. I removed the original sleeves and made them more fitted. Sleeves have 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 front-neckline with a series of handcrafted flowers. Each flower has a black beaded center. Two pockets located near hem. I removed the original cuffed hem & re-applied it with the stitching on the outside-Very unique & pretty cardigan for layering :-)
