Linen and cotton are the natural fibers that make this beautiful vest warm enough for air conditioning, but not too hot for summer outside. The lace construction is sturdy but flows. The vest has cap sleeves and is 38 inches around and 36 inches from neck to the bottom tips.  It is meant to be oversized so it can fit several sizes (4 – 12) Larger sizes can be ordered. The technique used is Crochet Lace. 
 
Care Instructions: Dry Clean or In a hand washing tub; use 1 drop of dish detergent and enough warm water to cover vest. Push garment below water level and let soak for 20 minutes. Drain water and rinse with warm water. Drain and squeeze (not wring) the water out, lay a towel out and place garment atop, then roll up the towel. Step on the towel to maximize extracting the water. Use a foam pad to pin the lace firmly and shape the lace to measure the original size. Place a fan to speed up drying.
Do not machine wash or dry.
