Love this Sweater,

By: Oysterpearl
from Philadelphia, PA
"This sweater is very attractive and every time I wear it I get many compliments. It's nice cotton weave is perfect for the transitional season between summer and fall. I pair it with an off white or tan shell. it is true to size and fits nicely. The stripes down the side are slimming. Would definitely recommend."

Beautiful Sweater,

By: Silly2Pup

"Although the button made me think the sweater was cardigan style, not pull-over, it is a beautiful sweater. The texture, etc. is perfect for early fall and most all our winter season."

Disappointing,
August 19, 2012
By: bearette
"I thought this would be nice and slimming with the vertical stripes, but it was shapeless and the sleeves were too wide and floppy. The material was scratchy, and it is cut too low to wear without a camisole under it. I returned it."

So many compliments,
July 31, 2012
By: Katbug
from Calgary, AB, Canada
"When my coworkers saw my new pullover, they went on and on about how much they liked it, where did I get it (I told them!), how gorgeous it was, how nice I looked in it, etc.
The garment is soft, and cool because of the breatheable fibres in it. It was an investment that I will never regret.

Great if you are slender,
June 7, 2012
By: Bonner
from Rhode Island
"This is a lovely and well-made garment. In the catalog picture it looks longer than it the way it actually fit on me (5'10"), and also leaner. As a tall and also big-boned frame, I found that it looked boxy on me, not at all like the catalog photo. too bad! I wanted so much for it to work that it took me a couple of weeks to realize that I really had to send it back. On the right frame, I'm sure it will be a knockout!"

"The vertical stripes are very slimming. My daughter was with me when I tried it on and she immediately ordered one for herself - and ordered the coral color for me - so now I have two."

Disappointed,
May 31, 2012
By: Spankie
from NW Corner CT
"I should have paid stricter attention to some of the other reviews. This sweater is, indeed, scratchy. And it just looks cheap. I sent it back. It's not worthy of Orvis."

Maybe for a very thin person,
May 16, 2012
By: Gretel
from New York City suburb
"The fabric was a bit stiff and the sleeves stuck out . They weren't quite as "fluid" as they appear in the picture. The look was not flattering on me. I am 5'6 and chubby."

Casual, relaxed,
May 7, 2012
By: bouvgal
"Comfy and provides a feminine layer. Looks nice even with a long sleeve shirt underneath. I am 5'4" and 135 lbs. and I ordered a Medium. It fits fine, other than the length. I am short-waisted, and this sweater barely reaches the top of my hips, unlike the tunic length on the model in the photo. Perhaps a larger size would be longer, but then the width would be very baggy."

Sad for Orvis,
April 30, 2012
By: Pamalamb
from Greensboro, NC
"I looked at this sweater for months and finally saved up to buy it. It looked so soft and comfy. When I got it in the mail I was so excited. Then I tried it on. So disappointed. It felt scratchy and didn't hang like the picture. Very uncomfortable."
