Tall Classic Cashmere Cardigan Sweater

Last year and the year before I bought this cardigan in black, purple and sky blue, all in 1X (busty). I ordered it this year in the "drab" green, same size. It is short and smaller. I layed it out on the bed with the others. It is a good 2 inches shorter and much smaller through the body. I think the material is a tighter weave so there is no stretch. Sadly I didn't try it on early enough to get another shipped. The material is lovely, just the sizing is way off.

So soft! I need every color now. I am a size 14/16 normally (Apple shape) 5ft 8in, 46-38-42 and got an XL (18) which fits great. If my chest was bigger, it would prob be too tight. I normally get an 1XL in Lands Ends tops but realized it’s too roomy and long for me. I hope this helps someone with sizing!

I have a medium in this sweater from many years ago and it has never pilled or stretched, it's still just beautiful. So this week I ordered a black and a periwinkle in M. These are much smaller than the M from several years ago and the yarn weight is noticeably lighter than the previous one - not nearly as nice. Very disappointed in the quality and the cut which is narrow at the waist and therefore the bust. A true classic in the former version, too trendy and cheaper in this new version. Very disappointing. They will be going back.
