Ordered in the bright green and black. Both were well made. And very comfortable trying them on. Unfortunately the ribbed binding at the bottom on both sweaters hit at a spot that emphasized my tummy. And that unwelcome extra roll above the waistline. I am 5’ll and vary in sweater size from a XXL to a 2X depending. A great sweater just not great for me. I have ordered the V-Neck lightweight tunic sweater is XXL from the Amazon Essentials line with great results, though. Similar in material as this sweater. And there is no bottom binding on that sweater. And it is longer being a tunic. Comfortable, quality and very flattering.

Comfortable, light weight and pretty. Since it is mostly cotton I wash in cold water to prevent shrinking, air dry and fluff in the dryer. If you don’t want to go thru that order a larger size

This product came quickly and was appropriately packaged. The Medium was a very generous fit; the sleeves were true full length sleeves, and the overall length was good. The garment itself is very soft; I washed it but did not put it in the dryer. I may use the dryer the next time because a little shrinkage would probably improve the fit for me. The V-neck was borderline too low; it may be necessary to wear a camisole or t-shirt underneath if it does not shrink well in the dryer. The material is thin but not see-through; it was just what I was looking for.

I bought three of these in size large: the coral pink, the green and navy black cheetah, all for my mother.
She’s normally a size 12 to 14. 5 foot – petite Around: Bust 40 Waist 32 Hips 42
Carries her weight in tummy and bust areas.
All three fit very nicely overall, but the navy cheetah was somewhat different. The ribbing around the hem at the waist was tighter on the navy.
Also, on the coral and green, you can fold the cuffs back and it doesn’t look bad. This is helpful to know for you petites out there. On the navy cheetah, you can’t really fold the cuffs back and have it look right. Just something to consider.
With all three, the shoulders were good on her petite frame. The V-neck is not a deep plunge and doesn’t require a camisole or tank top underneath.
The coral pink is not what I would call a pink at all. It’s not even a peach. It has a lot more orange in it and seems darker once you receive it. I was a bit disappointed with this one because the colour in the ad looked so unique and interesting. Very hard to describe the actual colour we got. From the pictures in the ad, the coral pink looks softer and lighter to me, but it’s actually not. It’s still a nice colour, but it’s definitely a hotter tone in orange.
The green is fabulous. It’s a very slightly deeper colour than it looks on the ad, but still beautiful.
The navy cheetah is lovely and will likely get the most wear.
All three are a bit sheer, but probably decent for the spring and fall and layering in winter, perhaps with a thin turtleneck underneath. The material is adequate.
Not sure how they wash yet.
I think the price of around $20 each was fair. They are pretty versatile and can be used for both business and casual attire.
It would be great if they added more colours in the pink, purple and blue range, cool and warm toned. I’d also like to see some sizes designed for petites with better sleeve length. It would also be good if they made them with a fabric that is slightly thicker, too.

I didn’t expect much since these sweaters are so cheap ( I bought three in different colors ) but I am so happy with the quality and fit! I bought a size up just in case and I’m glad I did because it is much more flattering. I am quite tall so the size up gives me a little more length so it’s not right at my hip line. The material is light but keeps in warmth. It’s soft and it doesn’t itch. I love these sweaters and I am happy with the purchase!

This is a perfect fit for me which I can rarely say. I’m only 5’1″ and most sweaters are too long – this was not too bad at all. I liked the slightly relaxed fit and the v- neck was perfect depth – no need for a cami underneath. I’m usually an 18 and the XXL fits me with no clinging. The teal blue is lovely – a tad darker than in the photo. Will definitely be ordering more colours.

I like this Tee, I thought it was meant to be a jumper, but very thin and stretchy. I have ordered of Amazon Essentials before so did order a size or two up to my usual size 14. It fits OK, but like wearing a close fitting Tee. Will go well with a cardigan over the top. Colour is a brilliant red and I love it. It seems to be well made, but may stretch more when washed. I do find the Amazon size charts a challenge as the last summer top I bought was meant to be a size 14 and was more like a 20. I wonder if some are in American sizes, rather than British.

Bought the Light Grey XL I am UK14/16 sleeves are very long and so is the jumper, I am keeping it as I am short waisted and shorter arms, nice and soft haven`t washed it yet and don`t expect it to shrink hope it doesn`t bobble. May order another colour but will purchase smaller size and will see how this one is after a couple of washes, my first purchase of clothing for myself from amazon essentials, have ordered for hubby successfully before so would definitely buy clothing again for myself.

I LOVE this sweater! I am so happy that I purchased 4 colors and love them all! They are soft, thin enough that I can wear a blazer and still feel comfortable. I wear a cami underneath on cooler days and it’s perfect. They wash wonderfully! The colors stay true and they maintain their shape and seem to just get softer. I have recommended these to everyone! They are key staples in my wardrobe and are a perfect dupe to my Banana Republic sweaters. They are very classic and refined.

This sweater is very nice and classic, but quite thin. I would not rely on it for warmth, and I was hoping it would be thick enough to layer over certain dresses or shirts for a different look, but the top of the dress or shirt underneath would show through. I ordered the ecru color thinking it was an off white or ivory, but it is a pale peachy color. I decided to exchange it for a darker color (navy), which can be worn over something else and not show what’s underneath.

I wish I had paid more attention to the description given by earlier reviewers. The sweater is fine; I was hoping it would be the bright yellow that the picture depicted. I was looking for that pop of bright color to wear with my winter darker colors. The color is more of a spring orange….not what my wardrobe needs right now. I am hoping to get more use out of it in the spring.

This is a perfect sweater for what I was looking for. It’s not super warm but not see through at all. I wear a tank top under it and it’s not scratchy. I went up a size just to be safe, but could have gotten away with my regular size with no problem. I got more colors in the smaller size and still kept the first one. I wash on regular cycle and hang dry. I have put it in the dryer on low when it was still a bit damp and there was no shrinkage at all.
