"FLORENCIA SWEATER: Too small compared to sweaters from other artists"
How disappointed am I that I ordered this sweater in my normal size (small) & paid express shipping only to have it arrive too small for me!?!? Sweaters from other alpaca artists fit me much better. None of these sweaters is inexpensive. I am 53 & 116 pounds. Small in any top generally fits me well. This sweater is so small I cant come close to buttoning it without stretching. If I return it, Novica wants me to pay return postage, AND I lose my special price code. I dont want to exchange it either for these same reasons. I might add that the fabric is rather thin. In case you cant tell from the photos, there is no bottom button. This is very important, too, the button keepers (they arent holes) are thin twisted-together threads. You pull the button thru these threads to button the sweater. I dont think theyll last long. This sweater is a big, big disappointment to me. For my last few orders from Novica, I have had some druthers. This may be my last order ever from them.

"My wife loves this sweater!"
Ive bought a lot of Andean knits at Novica for family members, and they are usually hits, but none has been as popular as this. Very dressy AND very comfy -- an unusual combination!

The pretty and feminine sweater is so soft! and so light but warm. Very good looking with pants or skirt. Travels well and I expect to be getting compliments for years to come.

"A luxurious handmade article"
The alpaca scarf is luxuriously soft, a perfect ensemble for men or women, very cashmere like except warmer, and blends with nearly any color coordination. This is my second piece from this artist and he is really a first tier craftsman. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.
