I have a weakness for very soft, oversized sweaters for lounging around the house in the winter. I also have a weakness for Dolman sleeves. So this holiday sweater was an easy pick for me. I was a bit skeptical about the potential softness and figured it would need a wash to achieve it, but ... I was wrong! As you can see, it comes vacuum-packed and therefore VERY wrinkled when it pops out of the pack. But very VERY soft. The card in the package doesn't give much information about the fabric or really give clarity about care either, so of course, after trying it on, I checked out the info inside. It is not 100% Acrylic, as the product description says. It is actually 26% Acrylic, 23% Viscose, 20% Nylon, 31% PBT. I had no idea what PBT was, so I checked it out. It is used for everything from swimwear to false eyelashes and is known for its durability and softness. Sounds good to me. As for care, it says it can be hand or machine washed in cold water, but professional dry cleaning is preferred. I'm going to machine wash it in cold and see how it goes. (I'll report back later on the results!) As for fit, I am VERY short-waisted and long-legged. I need sweaters and tops that come down far enough on my hip and don't shortchange me. I was surprised that this one doesn't, as there really weren't enough photos of the model with the sweater pulled down. But it might be a bit short on someone not as short-waisted as I am. (Again, after I wash, I will report back.) UPDATE: It washed beautifully in my machine in cold water set on delicate. I dried it flat on a clothes rack. Still SO soft. Still also wrinkled from the vacuum packing, but no shrinkage. I used my steamer on it and now it is ready for the holidays! All in all, looking forward to lounging around in this sweater for the holidays! Read more
This sweater runs very large. I am 5'4" and average weight. I ordered a medium and it was huge. The quality is good, there were no snags or loose thread and the seams were all intact. The materiall is very smooth and almost slick feeling. It's soft against the skin and even at the gathered areas (waist and arms) it is comfortable and very stretchy. I feel like it would be a challenge to wear if you are very petit due to the oversized fit. The material is nice but recommended to be dry cleaned. The "Red" color I ordered was a nice shade If you enjoy tops that are not tight fitting or have an oversized feel then you will love this sweater. If you usually order "true to size" then you may need to size down for a better fit. Read more
Ugly Christmas sweaters could never! This is soft, stylish and warm. The material Is thick and fluffy. It does true to size with a slightly lose fit. The fabric is so soft and plush. I love it! Read more
This sweater fabric was very weird and shiny. There were a lot of creases in it from being folded. I didn’t want to iron it bc I thought that would make it more shiny so I washed on cold water on a gentle cycle. I washed it with a few other items and there was a lot of lint and fuzz from the sweater and the white writing even had fuzz sticking to it. Not worth the hassle. Read more
I really like this sweater—it's adorable and incredibly soft, perfect for the holiday season. It has a fun, loose fit that’s comfortable to wear. However, it runs a bit big, so I recommend sizing down. I was a bit disappointed to find that the item description says machine washable, but the tag advises dry-cleaning, which is inconvenient. Also, it arrived very wrinkly, and since I can't machine wash it to smooth out the wrinkles, that was a bit of a hassle. Overall, I still like the sweater for its cuteness and softness, but feel the care instructions could be clearer. Read more
This sweater is a beautiful bright red. It fits a bit roomier than I like, but it is a batwing sleeve so that's to be expected. The fabric is really soft and it seems well made. I'm 5'1", 108 lbs, and the small fits largish, but again, I think it's supposed to be oversized. It's not overly long, so that's good. Read more

The fabric is very soft on this, but I’m not sure if it would withstand many trips through the washing machine. The Christmas red is bright and cheerful. I would definitely size up. For me, though it doesn’t work because the Dolman sleeves are not flattering on me. Read more
