I really, really wanted to like this sweater. Who wouldn’t want to wear something festive and candy cane-like during the holidays? Cardigans are big lately, but something about the color and feel of this sweater just doesn’t work for me. The red isn’t a true red and leans more toward the pink/red family. The sizing is absolutely correct, however, there may be an issue if you are a more busty gal with gaping between buttons so choose accordingly. The biggest issue for me is that the fabric felt wet. I know that sounds bizarre, but the feel of the fabric or maybe something to do with how much polyester or elastic is in the material made it seem as if the fabric was damp. Your experience may be different from mine, but sadly, it’s a return for me.
