Purchased this sweater on a gold box lightning deal for a great price. However, it's described as a duet, leading one to believe it is two pieces. It is a one-piece item, with the ruffles in the front sewn on to look like a two piece garment. The laguna color is lovely, and the sparkles are pretty as well. The product description here says machine washable, but the sweater is actually labeled hand washable only. Returned.
