Rated 2 out of 5Â by silkdoll Too many wrongs to make a right
I really wanted to love this pullover. I had been umm-ing and ahh-ing about whether to buy it ever since it first came out and finally got it in red when it went on sale. Unfortunately, this pullover was not for me. Despite being fairly petite, this pullover made me look quite wide. I agree that it is more of an A-line fit, but it seems to curve back in towards the hem. The hem hit me at my hips (I am 5"3', 116lb) and made them look larger than they are. Also, the yarn used for the brown stripes is quite thick and creates a raised effect on the red wool. I loved the idea of this but it made the pullover a strange shape because every brown stripe bulged out. Otherwise, the sleeve length was fine and the collar was not too wide. Ultimately, this pullover was just really unflattering on. I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you've had a chance to try it on (unfortunately, I live in Australia)!

This does not look as good as it does on the model. Looks like an old persons sweater and as someone mentioned, it's boxy. Wore it for an hour and there were fuzz balls forming everywhere. Beautiful red color though and quite warm. I don't like the grayish color tinted yarn of the stripes. Looks like dryer lint.

This sweater is a solid buy at a reasonable price, when compared to other fp sweaters. Most similar to it would be at least $148. You can wear it a lot of ways. The model is definitely grunging it up, but it's great for casual friday or wearing with heels, and you can certainly wear any jewelry you want with it.
The yarn detailing has more of a multi-colored look in person. It's just not as sharply evident in the photos. I'd say it's a good buy!

As soon as I saw this sweater I knew I had to have it. The difficult decision was deciding which color to get, but I ended up choosing the alabaster since my husband wasn't on board with the red. Let me tell you, I could not be happier with this gorgeous pullover! It's got an inside out type of look and the woven stripes alternate where one stripe is a bit darker than the other and with a different texture and colors. It really is so neat looking and not like anything else I have ever owned before. It's got that cool, slouchy fit that allows you to layer underneath (I like to put bright tee's underneath that just peek out at the neck for an added pop of color). Goes well with skirts, boy jeans, skinnies, leggings... You really have endless possibilities. Size-wise I found this to be TTS. It's supposed to be oversized and the sleeves are meant to be long. I can see how sizing down might look great too, but I chose to stick with ultra comfort. For reference, I am 5'6", 120 lbs and ordered the small.

Here's the thing, this sweater does not run large. It is just loose cut. The shoulder and sleeve length are a perfect fit and that's what counts in sizing (I'm very petite and it fits fine). Also, it's a pullover so it's meant to be cut this way (you can wear a thinner layer or two under it on a colder day). This is a thicker sweater weight, but it isn't scratchy or stiff, it's just a heavier weight yarn blend. It is about waist length (measurements are given on the details tab). Great buy for the winter!

This has become my staple sweater for this winter. The material is thick, yet the neckline is very flattering. I would say that this sweater fits true to size, but is a loose fit (as shown in the pictures). For me, it is perfect. My only complaint is that I do tend to snag the wrist area on objects, namely zippers. So be careful of that. This may not be a problem for the more graceful among us. That said, I still wear this sweater constantly - pair it with your favorite skinny jeans and boots for an flattering, yet extremely comfortable, look!
Oh, and I wear mine with the lace halter bra in copper, and they look great together, FYI.

This lovely, richly-coloured sweater is roomy and comfortable. It's just a tad bit itchy, and it isn't as slouchy or long as the model makes it seem. Pair with some black skinnies or a black skirt and you've got some instant holiday spirit going on.
