Fit wise, this cardigan is really nice and stretch, partially due to the fabric and it's very forgiving. For those of you who are larger than the XXL this goes up to, I found it was able to fit me without stretching too much or losing the style, even though I'm a full two sizes larger and quite busty. So you can definitely size down a little for a tighter fit.

It's more of a lightweight item and though the fabric isn't overly thin, it's not thick either; so this piece is most well-suited to summer or spring and can protect against a light breeze or just cover you if you feel self-conscious. The bottom of the cardigan flows in a waterfall pattern and while it's not my personal taste, I know this is a popular style.

The back is very unique in that it has a 'short in the middle' split fishtail design, which I've never seen before. One thing that really impressed me about it is that the bottom of the cardigan is finished with a stitch, to prevent it from fraying. I've seen so many poorly made items that aren't finished and as a result fray or curl at the bottom.

Unfortunately this item does wrinkle quite easily and may be too long if you are very slender and short (I'm only 5'4", but as I'm big, it shortens the cardigan).

I love how bright the blue color is and it's very soft on the skin. I'd definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a lightweight cardigan. I feel it's a fantastic deal at this price, especially when I compare it to similar items I've seen in local stores.
