The acrylic sweaters feature flower appliqués and embroidery, and include a Young Hearts label in the neck seam with RN# 16435. The garments were available in sizes 2-4T and 4-6X.

The sweaters were sold nationwide at Burlington Coat Factory, Pamida, and Ross Stores from June 2008 through November 2008 for about $15.
