This is a very beautiful black sweater vest with cardinals, beads, & pine cones....the cardinals & pine cones are satiny material with embroidery. The pine needles are stitched with a yarn. The picture makes it look a bit washed out. It looks so much prettier in real life. Would be great for next Fall/Christmas time. It is a ladies' size M (the tag has been cut off, but I have 2 of these, that's why I'm getting rid of one)...and it is the same. It is in excellent condition.
