Thank you for viewing. I purchased this a few years ago and wore it once, but I'm selling it because I don't have the opportunity to wear it anymore. It can be used as a stole or a bolero, 2-way style. The front and sleeves can be fastened with buttons. Made of 100% cotton, so I think it's gentle on the skin. Please understand that this is a used item stored at home by a private individual, and bid accordingly.
