Development questions for this style

Use the sample to agree the purple, pink and blue color sequence and the positions of the transitions across body and sleeves. The diamond-shaped sleeve openwork should be specified separately from the color layout.

The photograph does not establish how the color effect is produced. Confirm the proposed yarn and construction, openwork placement, opacity, measurements and care information through the finished swatch and approved sample.
