gorgeous color, March 14, 2010
By: johnandelaine

"This sweater is so soft. The color is a beautiful bright butter yellow. (I'm glad I read the review by another person who said the color was not as displayed on the internet, because I prefer the brighter yellow.)"

Great Casual Cardigan, March 7, 2010
By: MissK from Minnesota

"I love the material and agree that the sweater runs a little large. Unfortunately my optimal size would be between the small and the medium. I have one of each."

Comfort Supreme, February 18, 2010
By: revelinor

"This is the most comfortable cardigan I have ever worn. It is feather light in weight but as warm as it is soft. Fits very well and is a very nice length. I expect that it will also be suitable for summer wear."

sweet but short, February 5, 2010
By: Celle

"The quality of assembly and the fabric of this sweater meet the standards that I expect from Orvis. However, the sweater is shorter than I like. There was no photo of the sweater on a model, so I did not realize this. I bought it on sale, however, and so am using it in the house. If it were longer, I would buy again."

Lightweight but Warm, February 3, 2010
By: cvalley

"This sweater is pretty, and oh so soft. I bought it for travel, because it is so lightweight, and that it is. My only disappointment is that is does not slide well putting it on over a cotton T-shirt. I also have trouble getting it into an unlined jacket. I am keeping it, but I feel it is bulkier than what it appears in the pictures."

"Loved how light weight and warm this sweater is. It is a great fit and is comfortable even when sitting. Like that there is no uncomfortable top and bottom buttons. Will definately order another one. Would love one in each color, if I could afford it."

surprisingly warm, January 30, 2010
By: EmmaKC

"I've worn this sweater all winter and am surprised at how warm it is for such a lightweight article. I bought the double-cream color which is actually an eye-catching yellow. This sweater is very soft and washes quite well. The dimensions are perfect for me. The overall length (falls right to my hip) is comfortable but not bulky, especially when sitting. The sleeve length is perfect as well. Orvis, please don't change a thing! Just offer new colors for next year."

Not Thrilled, January 18, 2010
By: Sloan

"I purchased this sweater to use as a wrap. I found that it does not slide on easily over cotton turtlenecks. It's fine with blouses made of smooth material like silk. I also found it to be rather short. I'm 5'7" and it falls just above my hips. I've given it to a friend who is petite and the length is great on her."

Love this sweater, January 13, 2010
By: landlady

"Finally, a sweater that truly fits! I am 5'4" and prefer the shorter/boxy style. Really warm without the weight and bulk. I like the plum color although I was expecting a darker color, based on the pictures. I debated about purchasing this sweater because of the price but I have not been disappointed. I get lots of compliments when I wear it (which is all the time) and am purchasing one as a gift for my mother.
Would love to see it in brighter/darker colors."

Practical but not stylish, January 9, 2010
By: DaylilyFan from Columbus, Ohio

"Great to throw on around the house to chase the chill away. The elm color is rather dull but I look awful in the other pastels and needed a neutral color other than blue. Very soft and easy to wash."

Expected Better, January 2, 2010
By: Catka from Knoxville, TN

"Having been a customer of Orvis for many years, I have always been impressed with the quality of clothing and service. I was eagerly anticipating this item and was quite disappointed when I received it to discover all of the buttons had to be reinforced since they were literally hanging by threads. The construction overall concerns me when I will need to clean this sweater because I am afraid of what I will end up with. I do not recommend this."

Just one fault. . . ., December 30, 2009

"I like this whisper-soft cardigan very much but it has one fault. Everyone I know who has bought it has found the sleeves too long. Please consider this point for future designs."

Yet to Order, December 29, 2009
By: MrsB from State College, PA

"I really want this sweater and am hesitating due to the shortness of length. Why aren't cardigan sweaters made longer? I like the Spring colors shown, and would also like to see something in brighter shades. I wear sweaters constantly and prefer the extra length because I feel more comfortable with length. Please see if the length of the sweaters offered might be increased in the future. I'd probably buy more from Orvis if the added length were available - about 24" to 25"."

Need brighter colors, December 26, 2009
By: 4mar from NY state

"Overall the sweater is very soft and comfy, and fits my 5'4" frame, but the plum color in the picture is very misleading. Actually that color is grayish plum, which is not very flattering on me. I need bright colors or black as an option. If that were the case I would get another.
Only tried on this gift, so don't know if laundering will change the appearance. Would only recommend if the colors were different."

So easy-care, December 10, 2009
By: Deinde100 from Toronto, ON

"This is one of the best purchases I've made. I have the sweater in merlot and, from the current pastel range, in elm. I've also given a merlot and a peacock as gifts, and both recipients were delighted. I've never had a sweater as easy to care for: machine wash, machine dry (comes out fluffier than drying flat), and, if necessary, smooth a little by hand (better than ironing). I usually wear it with a long-sleeved tee underneath--the boxy style makes it especially accommodating. This soft, cozy, versatile cardigan provides a relaxed but well-put-together look."
