V-Neck Sweater

Some fit notes on the 1x. The sleeves are shorter and land 1” before the wrist. The V neck is perfect depth and the length just right for a DD bust. Go a size up if bust is any larger. I layered it with the silk charmeuse tank. I have had no issues with mine piling, but have only worn twice. To not this sweater is light and fluffy. It does not get stuffy or overly hot. A winner!

I do not recommend this sweater. The only good thing about it is the color! The photos of this item on the model look nice online, but in real life it is unimpressive. The knit is much thinner than it looks in photos, does not drape well, and clings in unflattering places. Yes, even though it’s oversized, it manages to land on places that I prefer to camouflage. There is nothing that distinguishes it from a discount store item. I tried this sweater on, in front of my full length mirror, and immediately took it off. It felt cheap, looked unattractive, and definitely not worth the $288 I paid. Even now that it is on sale, I would not entertain the idea of purchasing it again. I have been amassing a collection of EF for over 3 decades, and the quality of the recent sweaters is extremely disappointing.

I have worn this chenille sweater (the cardigan, in navy) twice and kept wondering what the small blackish dots were around my house and car. The chenille is constantly shedding even after a careful wash. I am a very big fan of EF mostly because I can wear items for many years since the cut and fabrics are classics. But sadly this appealing- looking (and feeling) item has a zero design/construction life and have to return it.
