"Size Down!"
This an exquisite sweater, and even prettier in person than in the photo. BUT its HUGE. Im a size 2 or 4, and you could put 2 of me in the size small. BTW, the knit is also fairly loose and delicate, so its not an everyday sweater. Sadly, its going back due to sizing. Wilber, please make one in the same colors and pattern, but longer and more fitted! Thank you!
Best Uses
- dressed up going out
- Stay away from cats, dogs and birds!

"Very comfortable and beautiful quality"
I love the cardigan and the color combination. I first got the jumper and also loved it, so I also got the cardigan. Perfect also for colder summer nights.
