First of all I love all things Hillhouse, and I have a significant amount of them. lol. I wear an xs in most things and this piece is no exception. This cardi is exactly what it's called. It's just like your grandpa's favorite cardigan. It's warm, the wool is not itchy, and the added touch of the pearl buttons makes it perfect. To be honest, I haven't been able to take it off since I received it. if you like warm and cozy with a feminine flair, go for it.
