Johnny Women's Open Front Long Sleeve Knit Cardigan Sweater with Pockets - Cozy Casual Wear for Fall & Winter, Perfect for Office, Lounge and Coffee Dates

A few years ago I bought two black cardigans just like this in a little mom and pop strip mall fashion store, and I could never make it back down to that city to pick up some more colors, and I've wanted some more of these cardigans as they're my staple go-to cardigans. From the pictures, descriptions, and reviews I took the chance that these would be the same, and they are (although these feel just sliiiightly thinner). These cardigans are so soft and warm without being too warm, making them perfect for cooler summer evenings and fantastic for layering in the colder months because they aren't bulky and fit fantastically even under more tailored coats. They are stretchy and have the perfect weight to them. I absolutely love them! They also wash incredibly well, take forever to pill or fade (literally years of wearing, but they do eventually pill. Especially at the seams and underarm on the sleeves).I bought the charcoal, the burgundy, and the mustard in a size Large. I'm 140 lbs, wear a 34C, and I typically wear a Medium in women's and Large in juniors. The only thing about these cardigans is that the sizing is inconsistent (which is also true for the black cardigans I originally purchased, as one fits smaller than the other and I bought them at the same time). The charcoal cardigan that I bought here, fits tighter and smaller, and fits more like a Medium, whereas the mustard and burgundy are a bit more on the drapey, loose side and are longer than the charcoal cardigan. The sleeves are also larger circumference wise on the mustard and burgundy (this does not affect the fit of the cuff, as the cuff still fits snugly around my wrists). Despite the fact that some are larger fitting than others, they are still comfortable, flattering, and do not LOOK like they're too big for me. I almost like the larger fit better because of the length. The burgundy and mustard fall well below my hips, covering most of my bottom. The smaller fitting charcoal falls to just below my hips, providing no coverage for my bottom.Despite not really knowing which fit I'll get in any color, these cardigans are definitely worth ordering, IMO. In fact, I just ordered a new black one because my two others have finally gotten to the pilling point where they're looking rather beat up. I've had the charcoal, mustard, and burgundy for a few months and they have all been washed and dried a great many times, and they still look brand new, have not faded, pulled, or become misshapen in any way. I highly recommend trying these cardigans out, just keep in mind that sizing is inconsistent and that if you decide to order a few, they may not all fit the same.
