I love this sweater~ it is such a cute look! I usually wear a Medium in tops (36B) and I ordered a Large and it fits very nicely. It's not too big, yet very comfortable. I love, love, love the colors! I got the bright pink and navy and I'm waiting on the green! I plan on hand washing it to keep it looking great. I'm very happy with this top!

 
Better without the collar and cuffs

Pros:
Flattering, Stylish
Cons:

Best Uses:

The Begonia color looks nice. The collar and cuffs as implemented disqualify this from being a go-to item. I think the sweater might be better without the collar and cuffs altogether. If you can remove the sewn in cuffs yourself; I'd say get the sweater. If not, maybe save your money for something more versatile.

The sweater is as it appears and same for the selection of colors I purchased - Aquatic Blue, Mango and Black.

Now that the prices has decrease, I am ordering additional colors.

Very disappointed with this product. Sleeves were too tight. Had to unbutton the collar as would not pull on, too narrow. could not button neck while wearing. I ordered a medium, which is usually too big. This was way too small. The fabric was skimpy. Only good thing is that you can take the collar off to iron it.

I really didn't care for this sweater, the collar attachment is a pain. You can't pull it over your head without undoing a couple of buttons and then you have to reattach them, the knit itself I felt was substandard, I really wasn't impressed.

The design is captivating but the material was not to my expectation. I ordered (3) colors of this sweater and am still deciding whether to return it. The fabric material is not tight enough to look good on one's body. I usually buy tops that are comfortable and very complimentary to my body - but this lacks something.

The collar is a little funky as its only held by a few loose buttons and the inside of it is short so doesn't stay in well. Also the neck is small so had to unbutton to get it over my head (which is small).Wish i'd gotten a size smaller but maybe it will shrink alittle.

The products are often for work or social gatherings. It is discouraging when you leave home looking one way and returning another.[You need to look at how long the product will last or if it is durable enough] IT doesn't look professional constantly pulling down your tops. By the way and I am not fat or large in figure. If I was, now can you imagine what would that look like? NO no no no.

I love this trendy and stylish sweater, but the button on collar is really a pain. It won't go over your head unless you unbutton the front 2 buttons and then it's really hard to button them straight on yourself. Other than that, it's a really good buy and a beautiful article of clothing.

I will have to return it, because the length was too short--it didn't meet the top of my pants (I would say it came to an inch below my belly button). Also, it was near impossible to pull the shirt over my head with out removing the collar from shirt in front. I think it looked really cute in the picture but if I had tried it on first I definitely would have passed on it.

Practical, Trendy
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This sweater can not even be put on without unbuttoning the collar. I was unable to get my head through the top and the buttons popped off. This is one of the many products from Chadwicks that fell apart on me.

It looks better on the model!! (I think it was gathered in the back on the model!) I thought it would be more fitted and flattering, but it is straight and baggy looking. I got the right size for my measurements, so it fits great in the shoulders and chest, it just hangs straight because I have a small waist. I bought two because the color choices are great. I was going to buy two more, but once I put them on I didn't like the fit as well. I would recommend it to a friend, but I would warn about the baggy fit.

The style and idea are great but they blew it. I have many of this style but this is a bust!

The buttons fell off before I even wore it. I've had to sew them on and are afraid they will pop off again. The material is so thin to sew it to.

The sweater was comfortable, but the collar needed to be unbuttoned in order to get it on and off. Once that was done, it fit really nice.
