What a lovely sweater. I wasn't expecting the sheen. There is a thread through the weave that gives it a sheen. A pink bow at the back which is a V shape. It isn't a Vee that is very low. Its very appropriate for a child. The pink bow is showy but without it, it would just be a simple Vee shape. I purchased this to go with a pair of pink slacks. It matches perfectly and looks so elegant, but the price point was so low.
