I love Splendid. I've always loved how their clothes fit. I’m normally an xs & size 2/4 in clothing, but for this cardigan, I went with the S instead of an XS. It fits how I wanted it to: a little long in the arms & a bit big overall. I like certain cardigans to “fit” for maxi dresses and such, but this particular one, I wanted it to fit how a Free People would (FP run large). I normally like cardigans like this to hang lower in the back (to cover my butt), however, this one doesn’t. It drapes in front and hits the top of my hips in the back. The picture does depict this, so I was aware, but I liked the style so much, I figured it’d be ok. And it is. This will be perfect with jeans or black legging with a tank or t-shirt underneath.Pros- drapes nicely, lightweight but warm enough to let me wear t-shirts in winter, it has pocketsCons- sized slightly smaller than expected- I was hoping for a little more material - 5’2, 160 lbs I got the large. Should have sized up for more coziness, not loving the thin waffle weave fabric- it’s like a bathrobe from a hotel or spa, worth about HALF what it costs. Not sure why this was $90. If it wasn’t such a pain to return items I probably would have but they’re banking on people like me being too busy or lazy. Carry a lint brush, hair (pet and human) and lint stick like crazyWashed and hung to dry. Sooooo soft and comfy. It's the cardigan you always wanted but didn't know. Checks off all my boxes. Pockets - check, soft - check, warm - check, hood (didn't know how much I'd like) - check. The arms are a little small which is why I dried on low for a few minutes and then hung to dry. If you want to wear loose fitting clothes (arms) under the cardigan then go up a size for the arms.Update-After wearing for one day the fabric has relaxed just a little bit - enough to make the arms a perfect fit and more comfortable to wear long sleeves under.I put it on when I got it in the mail and didn't take it off. I LOVE this. It's soft, stretchy, warm, and looks so flattering. I got the gray color and it goes with everything. I am wearing it today with jeans and a t-shirt.I also like that the pockets are at an angle (as pictured) - it makes it so much less awkward with the flow of the cardigan. I think it runs a bit big - I ordered one size down from my usual size and it's a perfect fit. The sleeves are long, but they don't "hang" - it's easy to pull them up a bit and they stay. This is definitely going to be a staple in my closet.I absolutely love this sweater. Kate from the Small Things Blog recommended it. She has never steered me wrong. I will probably get this in another color as well. Super soft and I think the hood is awesome.Cute sweater. I was excited to take it on vacation and discovered too late that the sleeve wasn’t properly sewn, leaving a 3-4” hole. Really disappointing.Single worst purchase ever! This sweater is AWFUL. The material is very light but poor quality! Only wore a couple of times but after the first wash it looks 100 years old! It’s all wrinkled w/a million fuzzies I can’t get rid of. The body is now limp ..after ONE WASH??! Every time I see it hanging in my closet I get so angry that I got duped into paying nearly $100 for this piece of crap. I wanted to love it so bad. I had a hooded sweater similar to this from Target that I loved & lasted so long ..I paid 19.99 for. Sadly I left it at an event and was looking for a replacement. Unfortunately I paid 4x more and got trash. Probably find something better & cheaper at Goodwill Or Walmart. I’m shocked at ANY positive reviews. No way.I was so excited to get this. It is so so so soft and I LOVED the way it looked and fit in the front. My only issue was that it is too short in back. It looked awkward to me being so long and flowy in the front and so much shorter in the back. Such a bummer.I love this. It's soft, warm, looks great and washes well. The prices are very erratic, and keep changing between about £35 to £110, so it's worth keeping an eye out to see when it's at the lower price!Be aware if you're ordering off-white, the images online shows a longer length one for off whites, but the actual top received is shorter like the other colours. And the colour is more like muddy beige than white. Shame.This is the second one I've bought - quality fabric, hangs beautifully and great fit.I love this - it's casual and easy to wearLOVE
