Balbianello

Just a real nice sweater and for the price you can't beat it anywhere.A great purchase!

This is a gorgeous sweater. Really thick and soft. I bought it as a gift for my husband, but had to send it back. He's a tall man, and this sweater is definitely for the average fellow. If you are over 5'10" it will most likely be too short in the body and arms. I am a 5'10" woman, and it was a good length for me. So, yes, I would recommend it to a shorter friend!

This is a gorgeous wrap that serves as an alternative to the cashmere turtleneck, that every woman owns. But it's so delicate, Don't breathe too hard on it or let the cat near it.

I can't speak for the fit. I knew as soon as I took it out of the box that this sweater wouldn't last an hour before getting snagged. The knit is very loose and the fabric/yarn very thin so that it seemed like the whole thing would unravell at the slightest tug. Not for a mom with 3 roudy kids. Too bad. Very pretty and a style I would definitely wear if it were more durable.

Sweater will look great with a skirt, dress slacks or jeans; very versatile. The weather is too warm to wear it now but I can't wait for cold weather!

There are different qualities of cashmere, and this sweater is a top-quality cashmere. The STP price makes it an amazing value and very affordable.

This jacket is fabulous for hour glass figures (and a slight pear) Having read the advice of others (thanks so much) I went up a size, and wasn't at all disappointed. If you have long arms, don't get this, unless you (like me) love to roll the sleeves up and show the fabulous golden silk brocade - which matches the gold brocade highlighted at the neck. Sleeves will then be 3/4 length and looks very smart. Have had tons of compliments. Looks fantastic with a cream pair of slacks, or pencil skirt. Be prepared for appreciation from your admirers....

Fit was great, style was great, it was soft and comfortable. I sent it back because it was the kind of thin, delicate, cable knit where there is a definite space between each row of cables, showing your skin and undergarments. I felt I would have to wear something under it, which would take away the benefit of how soft it was.

The only disappointment is that, for the price, it should have been softer and less 'itchy'. It's described as being as soft as cashmere, and that might be true IF the cashmere is of inferior grade. I would need to wear a shirt under this--it's too 'itchy' otherwise. It is very warm and lightweight, though.

runs small- will have to suck it in! but vey flattering. sleeves could be longer but I have very long arms. Form-fitting.
