Cozy sweater dress

I purchased this sweet one-of-a-kind dress from the Italian etsy designer LaramieLoom 2 years ago. I've only worn it 3 or 4 times, so time to let it go. Looks great with a long-sleeved top underneath, tights, and boots.

What: Handmade sleeveless sweater dress. Wide cowl collar, loose but shapely fit, ending in a wide band on the bottom hem which creates a subtle bubble shape. Material is a wool/acrylic knit, in earthy, subtle textured horizontal stripes in tweedy shades of brown and grey. Unlined. Very chic and comfortable.

Sizing: Could fit a wide variety of sizes. I'm generally a size 6. Here are the measurements from the original listing:

89 cm from the shoulder down (approx 35")
103 cm aorund the bust (approx 40")
120 cm around the hips (approx 47")
sleeve hole is 42 cm in circ. (approx 16 1/2")

Condition: Excellent used; it's very well-made. Minor pilling, but I recently used a sweater stone (very gently!), and it looks great.  No holes, tears, or stains.

Asking: $40 shipped. I paid $110 originally. Listing ends Dec 27th.

(The 2 modeling pictures are from the original Etsy listing; the other photos are mine.)
