Product description
Your sample will be returned as requested. Style 1010-043 FFS is a woman’s ¾ sleeve pullover top composed of knit and woven components. The back panel and two partial front panels are constructed from 100% cotton knit fabric. The center front panel, ruffle collar, and sleeves are constructed from 100% polyester woven fabric. The garment features a collar with a double layer of ruffles around the v-neckline. The ruffles extend to the center front bottom hem of the garment. The blouse also features eight non-functional buttons with loop closures and button tabs to allow the wearer to roll up the sleeves. Since the woman’s blouse is constructed of both knit and woven components, neither the knit fabric nor the woven fabric imparts the essential character. The blouse will be classified in accordance with GRI 3(c) under the heading that occurs last in numerical order in the HTSUS.
