Stunning but very very small
The red is gorgeous and the quality of the fabric and construction is great, but “runs small” is an understatement. I went up 2 sizes based on recommendations but couldn’t wear it. My normal size is 4 so I went with an 8. The torso and skirt were still tight but the top wouldn’t even come close to zipping over my 34DD chest. The neckline on this is amazing and if you have a smaller cup size try it! But overall fit really is extremely small.

Warm base layer or everyday sweater
I got this for a cold weather trip to use as casual wear. It was definitely very warm. Fit was structured and snug since it’s designed to be a skiing base layer. If you are layering go for your normal size. If you want to wear this around town I would recommend sizing up. Quarter zip stops just below collar bone. Simple but good quality.

Warm and Vibrant - Has pockets
Beautiful vibrant color and very warm. It does have pockets. Some reviews say it doesn’t, but I think the factory stitch was still in place and just needed to be opened up. 3 hand pockets outside and 1 interior pocket. The sleeve and shoulder runs true to size, but the cocoon shape makes the torso roomy. A very thick sweater made the sleeves tight for me one day but I wouldn’t want to size up because the torso would then be way to big. Wearing a normal sweater or single layer was fine. I would rent this again if I needed a polished coat for very cold weather.

Rent it
I loved this sweater and didn’t want to send it back. Print is fun and sleeve puff is just enough to be a good detail without being huge. I was nervous to rent this because other reviews say it runs extremely small, but that wasn’t my experience. I did size up to a medium because I have a large chest (34DD) and sometimes need more length on a cropped top but the small probably would have been fine. Definitely had extra room on the sleeve and shoulder due to the size up but the overall look was still great. The knit held its shape beautifully and it just covered the top of my high waist jeans. Easy to wear and looked amazing.

Beautiful but small
Great dress with tiny bit of stretch, fun metallic color but difficult for large chest (34DD). I usually wear a small but the overall fit was definitely tight and I couldn’t zip it up all the way due to not enough room for my chest. Definitely recommend for anyone with a smaller cup size. If you are between sizes I recommend going up one size as the torso and skirt were very snug for usual small.
