The sample received with your ruling request will be returned to you, as requested. The sample submitted is a girl’s pullover, style AQRT101, constructed from 60 percent cotton and 40 percent polyester jersey knit fabric.

The pullover features a hemmed, round neckline; a scooped back with two criss-cross straps; short, capped, hemmed sleeves and a curved hemmed bottom. The sleeves are constructed from a 93 percent polyester and 7 percent spandex open work knit fabric. The front panel which narrows as it reaches the bottom of the garment is overlaid with the open work knit fabric. The knitted open work fabric overlay is a decorative addition to the garment.
