Let me start by saying this cardigan is ridiculously soft. The first time I slipped it on, it felt like being hugged by a cloud - that perfect blend of rayon and spandex makes it stretchy yet breathable. I've been wearing mine to the office nonstop since I got it.
The drapey fit is everything - it flows beautifully over dresses and pairs perfectly with jeans. At 5'8", the large fits me perfectly with sleeves that actually reach my wrists (a miracle for tall girls!). The open front design makes it super versatile for layering.
Now for the not-so-great parts: Mine arrived with some serious wrinkles that made it look like I'd slept in it for a week. Hanging it in a steamy bathroom did help, but be prepared for some initial maintenance. Also, no pockets - which I actually don't mind because anything heavy would ruin that gorgeous drape.
The fabric is very thin - perfect for summer but don't expect warmth. I wore mine on a breezy evening and was comfortable, but anything below 65°F would require something heavier.
Color warning: Several reviewers mentioned colors not matching the photos. My black one was true to color, but if you're ordering beige or pink, check recent reviews first.
The best part? It's become my go-to travel companion. Packs down to nothing, doesn't wrinkle too badly in luggage, and dresses up any outfit instantly. Just be gentle - the delicate fabric could snag easily (one reviewer received a damaged item).
Would I buy again? Absolutely - but only in dark colors where the wrinkles are less noticeable. For the price, it's a solid summer layer that feels way more expensive than it is.
