I bought this to wear over the ruffle collar swing dress with the flower pattern for fall with my tall riding boots. The outfit is super cute, and the color of cardigan matches the flowers perfectly. The cardigan is also super soft. But, it is super slim fit. I knew it was a closer fit just by looking at it so I ordered up a size to XL, especially since the dress has long, full sleeves. It didn't help, this cardigan runs small, it's too slim fit to wear over the dress, and it isn't even large enough to button over my chest - a whole size up! The wine color is beautiful for fall, and i can wear it as an open cardi over my sleeveless dresses, but I will remember not to buy this style again. Thankfully it was on sale. Some may like the super slim fit, but know this really isn't a layering piece. I also bought in a tall as I am long waisted, and it hits at my waist when I was hoping the tall would get me hip length. I also feel like it will shrink, so I will be very careful to hang dry.
