"Beautiful lightweight sweater"
I love the rich color and simple style of this. Fits very well (size medium, 5'51/2", 128 lbs), seems as pictured. Nice for spring and fall (not a heavy or very warm sweater).

"Pretty & Practical"
I usually wear small, but the medium fits nicely (5'6", 122#). It's lightweight but the wool adds nice warmth. For winter, I can wear a light long sleeve tee under it and a jacket over it. As the weather warms up, it will look and feel nice by itself. The photos aren't very helpful--the model's hair and hands hide the nice neckline and pretty detail on the sides at the hem. The sleeve hems are rolled edges which I like. Beautiful color.

"Beautiful violet sweater"
I love the style and color of this sweater. For a cotton/alpaca blend, I find it itchy, though, and have to wear it over a shirt, which is why I am giving it 4 stars. The rolled cuffs and details on the body are cute.

"Truly perfect"
I don t use the word perfect very often, nor lightly. But it applies here! This poncho is the perfect shade of indigo, with a bit of heathering for interest. The knit is stretchy yet retains its shape. It is light weight yet warm and feels like a gentle hug. I have already worn it almost every day since it came, and I live in an area experiencing hot temperatures right now! But it is perfect for the air-conditioned areas. I will take it with me traveling, for sure. Could not be happier.!

"Very soft"
Overall very happy, the fabric is very soft and the craftsmanship seems to be of high quality. Would have liked the sleeves to be a little more fitting but I am looking forward to wearing it often this winter. Gracias Alfredo!
