Organic Linen & Organic Cotton V-Neck Sweater

I thought this a few weeks ago to wear as a light summer sweater for air conditioned spaces. It drapes and hangs beautifully over the top of my Eileen wide leg pants. The color haze is the perfect transition piece from Winter to Spring. I believe it is light weight enough to wear in the hot summer months. The color is so soft and feminine. I am 5’1” 165 pounds. The medium is a perfect fit for Eileen Fisher tops.

I'm glad I tried this sweater as the periwinkle is beautiful and the cropped fit with V neck very nice. The tag warns about snagging on jewelry and sure enough, the sweater picked before I even got the tags off, so be careful! Fortunately the loose weave is such that it was easy to pull the pick through on the other side. I really like the sweater so I hope I don't get stuck on something (and I'm not kidding). I'm taking a star off because of the pick factor being so extreme, but it's definitely a pretty piece.

Being petite in stature, I gravitate toward the short and cropped tops especially when petite sizing is not available. I hesitated to purchase this sweater because of all the negative reviews saying this sweater was too short (now since balanced out with more positive reviews). I did not understand how a sweater, even though labeled short, was too short when the stated length was 22 1/2 inches. Sometimes basic length tops are 23 inches. I finally ordered because the color Haze is so beautiful and a perfect blue gray for summer palettes. When the sweater arrived, I was astounded by how short it was. Then I measured. The sweater I received was a little over 18 inches. My take on this “too short” dilemma is not a matter of actual length but of quality control. I am reordering in hopes this very short sweater was a fluke, and I receive one that is actually 22 1/2 inches long. So, Ladies, if you thought your sweater was too short and did not take time to measure before returning, perhaps, give this sweater another try. Sleeve length, v-neck, and above all, beautiful color are all quite perfect. Hopefully my low rating will change once the replacement sweater arrives and is actually the stated length.

I bought this in Ink. I have many pieces in the INK color and appreciate EF offering so many “ navy” pieces! It runs pretty much true to size. I ordered my regular L and it’s a pretty perfect fit. A little bit shorter length but I actually like it! Sometimes the sweaters stretch a bit and then are TOO long. Actually thinking of ordering the white and lighter blueish color. It’s a nice casual piece. I am wearing alone but might wear with a tee or tank top
