This sweater provides exactly what I was looking for: an extra layer to wear inside when needed during the colder months over leggings or pants and a shirt or sweater (although I've also worn it over pajamas). I wanted something that would cover my thighs because they seem to be chilly more often lately. I like things with collars that aren't too tight or restrictive and this fits the bill - you can button it when you want something around your neck and it isn't bulky like a hood would be when it's down. The extra long sleeves are wonderful - I often find that sleeves are too short for me, but this sweater has plenty of sleeve length. It is definitely not form-fitting. If I wanted it to be more fitted or intended to wear it more in public I would have gone one or even two sizes down from my normal. However, I wanted to be able to wear it over all kinds of layers and be able to easily throw it on or take it off as needed. When I have it zipped up all the way over my bulkiest top layers I do look a little like one of those air-filled holiday yard decorations, but I am very warm and I just avoid mirrors or enjoy the similarity to old photos of my ancestors in cold climates. Generally I have it unzipped and it is professional-looking enough that I don't worry about wearing it for online meetings. The pockets are fantastic to have, although not deep (my phone falls out if I am moving around too much). It has started pilling a little under the arms where they rub on my desk and computer or against my sides, but they are easily removed and it's what I would expect from a sweater with this kind of texture. I got the Heather Grey and I'd say it's similar to the photo - maybe a little lighter in real life.

I am not sure why the last review was negative? I thought the sweater fits perfectly! It is a quality sweater, it's warm and cozy! I bought the ivory and yes, I need to cuff the arms, but I think that is the way it's meant to be worn. It is exactly what I have been looking for. I wanted something to wear over casual dresses and skirts and it works beautifully. I have been looking for a thicker, warm long cardigan and this one is flattering. I do like to wear it open though, then zipped up. I almost didn't order it cause of the bad review. I am so glad I did! I love it and it is something I will have and wear for a long time to come. Perfect for the NW Fall and winter. For reference, I ordered the xs... I am 5'5 and 118 lbs. 34 b chest.

Maybe it's my body shape. I'm tall and thin. This just isn't tailored at all. Hangs like a potato sack near the pockets, which protrude. Also, the neck would be cool if the zipper went all the way or if the button closed the neck for an elegant fold, but, alas, maybe the 2.0 will do this.
