A sample was received with your letter. The sample will be returned to you as requested. Style 14885201 is a girl’s sleeveless pullover constructed from 100 percent cotton jersey knit fabric. The outer surface of the fabric measures more than nine stitches per two centimeters in the direction that the stitches were formed. The garment extends below the waist. The pullover features a rounded front neckline, a high rear neckline, a front yoke and a straight hemmed bottom. The front panels are overlaid with an open-work knit fabric of 100 percent polyester. The overlay on the front yoke is sewn to the garment at the shoulder seams, armholes and neckline. The remaining front panel has three strips of the open-work fabric overlaid in tiers. Each tier is sewn into the side seams and horizontally across the top of the strip to the underlying fabric. The knit open-work overlays are decorative additions to the garment. The essential character of the pullover is imparted by the jersey knit fabric which forms the pullover body.
