Womens Ladies Chunky Cable Knitted Long Sleeve Button Grandad Knitwear Cardigan - Beige - One Size(UK8-14) - (Mixed Fibres)

I ordered two of these. They were made by different companies, and had different tags. They also fit differently. One has almost dolman sleeves, which I don’t love. One is fine. I’m 5’11, size 8 and the size/length works. It is basically as much as you can hope for from a very inexpensive sweater. I would give that three or four stars.The other one, though, has a large hole in it, which is why I’m giving this a two star review. Total lack of quality control. I tried to exchange the one with the hole, and the seller has informed me that I have to pay for return shipping, even though I just wanted another of the same item without a giant hole in it. The cost of shipping it back is the same as the cost of the sweater (they don’t provide a prepaid label, so no reduced shipping rate). So, basically I have to eat the cost, or pay double to get one that *might* not have a hole in it. Based on my experience, there’s a 50% chance you end up with something unwearable and unreturnable. As long as you’re okay with potentially paying for something you’re only going to want to donate to a homeless shelter, go for it.

After reading the reviews I knew that to order this would be to take a chance. Overall I am pleased with this sweater. It is somewhat oversized on me, but that is what I wanted. I love the mint (more of a light aqua) color. The knit is not scratchy, and all the buttons are there. BUT on this particular sweater the buttonholes are not finished. They are just round holes cut or punched into the knit. They will certainly ravel unless I figure out how to finish them. I also wish the tag had not been cut off - would have liked to have known the exact fiber content and care instructions. My guess is that it's acrylic and can be machine washed and dried. At this price I'm not going to bother laying it flat to dry.[Edit/update]: It is a few months later, and I have purchased another sweater in this style, in a different color (beige). The mint one I bought has definitely shrunk after a couple trips through the dryer, and this is most apparent in the sleeves, which have shortened by a couple inches. So I guess I will be laying the beige one flat to dry. Also, I have learned that the way the buttonholes are done is actually a legit way to "finish" knit buttonholes. They look a bit "rustic" but they are not ravelling.

While I do love this sweater, it's way to big for me. I'm 5'6'' and 110lbs and am completely drowning in it. I will def. keep it as a sweater to wear around the house and as an extra layer in the winter time. I did wash and dry it hoping that maybe it would shrink a little and it did but not enough to really make a difference. If this fits you perfectly, don't dry it - lay it flat and let it air dry for a few hours. I agree with the other reviews that this sweater is well made and is a decent thickness. I ordered the navy blue color and wish it was a little smaller width wise because I would have ordered 3-5 more!UPDATE: After washing and drying this sweater 3 more times is now fits a lot better than it did the first time around, so much so that I bought 2 more of these sweaters in green and wine! This is going to be perfect for fall and I can pair it with some nice dark jeans and boots. For $25 for two sweaters and free shipping, what do you have to lose?

I own probably too many cardigans, and have been yearning for a maroon one to go with more of my fall outfits for a while now. This seemed to be the big comfy cardigan I was after, but I got it in the mail and it's BIG. I'm 5ft8 and 135lb, and it comes like halfway down my thigh and the armholes are huge. I would have marked this as too large, but sometimes the ridiculously huge cardigan look is what I'm going for. I might leave it as is or try my hand at tailoring the arm holes a bit smaller. The pictures came out sideways, and this was one of the outfits I wanted to pair this cardigan with. Some jeans and a tee would give me the hipster look I sometimes want.

This is the perfect lounging-hang out sweater. I am 5'8" and 135, and this is pretty big on me, especially in the shoulders. It hangs down to the top 1/4 of my thigh. It is incredibly comfortable and warm for such a low priced sweater. I usually wear it in the morning when I go take my dog on a walk, but I will probably wear it more and more in the winter as it gets chillier.I am considering buying this in another color once I have tried out this one more. I enjoy a good simple sweater at a low cost. I do wish the shoulders were a little narrow-er. I would give it 5 stars then.

I seriously love this sweater! I'm 5'4" about 126 lbs and have broader shoulders, but it fits like a dream. Length is excellent, comes down right under my butt, buttons just fine, very stretchy fabric (I can easily wrap it close around me). The only thing I have issue with is length of sleeves. I have to pull sleeves down occasionally to come past my wrists. Otherwise it sits riiiight above my wrists. In retrospect it's nice because they don't get in the way, but I like to cover my hands for warmth with the cuffs. Anyway, really can't recommend this enough! It DID take a month to get here, but totally worth it,I promise! Especially with the price. One small warning; I go the wine colored one. It's like a deep burgundy red. I absolutely love the color, but it is not as purple-y as depicted.

I was a little bummed about the shipping. I received the product a month after purchasing. It was one of those, oh, I totally forgot I even ordered this. I was super impressed with the sturdy feel, color, and overall look of this sweater. I am 5'3 135 lbs. and it was SUPER big on me. Not a huge deal since oversized things are trendy. My reasoning for only giving it three stars is how much air it leaks. For something that feels so heavy, I would expect to be able to wear this on a high 50's low 60's day with no jacket needed. However, the knits are too far apart allowing a ton of air to pass through. Again, great for the price and look, but if you need something warm, look elsewhere.

I like this cardi a lot.
