oversized and amazing

The color and quality are exactly as described. This sweater is so comfortable and well constructed. I couldn’t be happier. For size reference, I got a medium. I normally get large or extra large sweaters because I like mine REALLY oversized. I want to drown in my sweaters. Based off of other people‘s reviews, I decided to risk it and get a medium, and it is the perfect size. If you are someone who wants something fitted, size down from what would normally fit you. But because I like mine extremely oversized I went with a “normal” size and it is perfect. For reference, I am 120 pounds, 5’3”, 26” waist, 34C bra, kibbe soft natural.

Laugh out loud large

I don’t know what kind of body would look good in this sweater, but a 5’2” athletic frame isn’t it. My husband and I laughed and laughed when I put this sweater on. It is comically gigantic in every way. Wide, long, drop shouldered, long sleeved. It looked like I’d put on the sweater of a giant. The blue color is pretty and the collar would be cool if it fit like the picture. If you’re looking for a good laugh, try this on. I promise it won’t disappoint.

Bought Two!

Despite this review directing me to a beige color in large ... I purchased both a mauve pink and peacock blue in small. First purchased my normal Nordy size M in peacock. Returned that for the small - runs ginormous - as intended. Then came back for pink! Soft, well made, warm and exactly as pictured. As I am bigger on top than on bottom, I personally opted for slightly less oversized fit when exchanging for SM but absolutely could have worn the M. 36DD. 160. 5'9". Get it if it's available.

Nordstroms has become bottoms shelf

$100 sweater arrives rolled up in a ball. Over the last couple years the quality of the Nordstroms name has dropped so slow. This is the last purchase I will make with Nordstroms

Very large and heavy

I wanted to love this sweater. The XS fit me and kind of looked good but what made me return it is the weight and the thought of what it will look like after I wash it. It is SOOOO HEAVY and long that I was concerned that it could get even longer after wash even if I lay it flat. At this price point, I just didn’t want to take a chance. Plus, it would be too hot and heavy on my shoulders to run errands. I understand that the brand wants their garments to be oversized but this is a bit exaggerated. I’m 5’6 130lbs for reference. I’m usually size medium for tops and I got XS and it fit very loose on me.

Blue great color

I love the blue color on this cardigan. It runs big so I had to return and order next size smaller. That said I like how the collar lies on my shoulder. Can’t wait to wear it with combat boots, the black top & tulle skirt.
