Lightweight pullover with peacock feather pattern

The pullover is designed for summer, for cool days and evening walks.
Since it has clear transverse stripes, this model from the DROPS Design studio is intended for thin or slender women who are not afraid to appear plump, but the sizes are indicated in the maximum set (SML-XL-XXL-XXXL).
Transverse stripes, blue on white, somewhat break the monotony, emphasize and shade the delicate pattern and make the model as a whole more interesting.
