This vest features a moderate V-neck and side slits for a relaxed look. Made with warm melton fabric, it's designed to have a full silhouette. The melton fabric is very lightweight, so it won't feel bulky even when worn under an outer layer. The length covers the hips, and the slightly loose fit provides a comfortable feel. Layering it with blouses, high-neck knits, or long dresses is recommended. I purchased this last fall and have worn it a few times. As shown in the photos, there are some pills. They are located in the center of the right side. It's a little difficult to see, but please check the photos. Thank you for your consideration.
