I ordered several of these in different colors as gifts for my family and for myself. I wasn't really sure what to expect -- the description sounded great but the price was so low! When they arrived I couldn't have been happier. The scarves are soft, warm, not at all scratchy and look great. And the different colors are beautiful.

I love the sweater. so soft and keeps you warm on a walk, with friends out or at work. I had to stretch out sleeves a little bit, it wasn't hard. Nice colors let you wear it with jeans or skirts. very light weight but really warm for our winter.

Comments:
The biggest con was the cape was rolled into a "ball" and was VERY, VERY wrinkled when removed from pkg. So much so that I had to send it to the cleaners to have it professional pressed. There were no "how to care for this product" attached to the cape. The quality assurance team sould not send (out) rolled up garments. mksedlacek

JUST WHAT I NEEDED
By AliciaVerified Reviewer from Clearlake, CA on 11/11/2009

Cons:
YARN FLAW ON POCKET
Best Uses:
Casual Wear, Wear To Work
Describe Yourself:

Sleeve Length:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
Got complements immediately when I put it on. it is thin but warm. . I have used it when I teach and have to be with the children on the playground in the chilly morning. I got the size medium because I wanted to layer underneath. The small would have probably fit but might have been snug in places. I didn't want to take that chance. I am a muscular size 8 34b top and 5'1'. It is a longer hip length sweater on me. Because it is longer and not snug, I discovered it fit over my blazer and looks alright. It might look a little "school marm" but then thats what I am. I have the glasses and everything =) This alpaca sweater is soft, and doesn't itch me. The primary blue and brown tones will go with almost my whole wardrobe. I like the pattern on the sleeves. There is a small yarn/ knitting flaw on the pocket that I will have to repair soon. I still really like the sweater!

Comments:
I have never tried an open cardigan before. I love alpaca and I like this brand. I don't think this style suited me.It fit in the arms but didn't drape right. Maybe someone with smaller hips will look better in this one. It just wasn't flattering on my 5'1' Muscular yet pear shaped body. I sent it back.

Very long--good for tall people
By Gail of Iowa from Iowa on 11/10/2009

Comfortable, Flattering, Great Color, Lightweight, Soft, Stylish
Cons:
Too Long
Best Uses:
Casual Wear, Wear To Work
Describe Yourself:

Chest Size:
Feels true to size
Length:

Feels too long
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments:
As noted by other reviewers, this sweater is long. It has a couple of pockets in the front, for which I had to bend over a bit to reach. The length also meant the sleeves were very long. Tall people--this one's for you. Ultimately, I had to return this item because the sewing on the zipper was defective. I did not want a replacement.
