ZAFUL Women Sweaters Cardigan Chunky Ribbed Knit Open Front Long Sleeve Button Loose Short Cardigan Outerwear Coats

This is a Waffle pattern sweater in Size Medium and the color “1-khaki.” For reference, I’m 5 foot 3 inches and 149 pounds and I typically wear a size M or L in women’s shirts. Sizing: This sweater runs big! Unless you want extra baggy and oversized, then I would recommend sizing down at least 1 or possibly 2 sizes depending on the fit you are looking for. This size medium is much larger than I expected… especially when looking at the girl in the ad photo. It may be difficult to copy that cropped fit shown in the ad… with the sizing they have available. The sweater is large all around… the arms are too long and spill down over the cuffs, the lantern sleeves are baggier than expected, the girth around the middle is too big (and unflattering)… even the vertical section near the waistline is too tall. Since it’s large in every area, a smaller size would resolve all this though. Fabric/Yarn: The sweater fabric is of medium weight.. not overly thick and fluffy, but not thin enough to see through either. It does have a bit of stretch to it and several different yarn patterns that give it visual interest. The waffle pattern on the arms is especially pretty. I’d classify it as having medium level of softness… it’s not itchy, but it’s not overly soft and cozy either. I’m hoping it will soften a bit more in the wash with fabric softener. Quality: It’s good… what I’d expect for this price point. The buttons are plastic, but pretty and sewn on well with thread that they attempted to match to the sweater. There weren’t any snags in the yarn and the design is symmetrical. The vertical lines are all straight and the waffle section looks complex and done well. Overall: The waffle pattern and lantern sleeves are beautiful design features. The quality is good and the pretty khaki color is an accurate reflection of the color in the ad photo. The khaki color is so versatile and could be worn with so many types of pants and different colored shirts! The sizing runs very large and it may be difficult for some people to get a size small enough to mimic the fit on the girl in the ad photo. I think with the right fit though… this sweater could be stunning. If you’re already looking for an oversized fit… then this sweater will be perfect for you! Read more

I ordered this in white, black, tan, and coffee. I will say that each sweater varies in color and fabric. Like I ordered a medium and large for fit purposes and I noticed the color was different and some of the fabric was scratchier. I believe because it’s woven yarn that the yarn they use changes from one to one. Read more

Decent quality but very very loose in the shoulders. Returned due to the ill fit but liked the texture and color. Didn’t keep long enough to say anything about the pilling. Read more

My wife recently brought this with us on a trip and she kept going back to it as an outfit accessory. She really loved the sleeves and the way it fits - not too tight but not super baggy either. The sleeves are fun and fashionable and it is warm(ish) enough to wear in the fall and warmer days in the winter. The only thing is the material is questionable on whether it will hold up after many washes and it stunk like a factory when we opened the bag so it took a wash or two to get the smell out. Overall though it has been a go to piece for her and she likes it! Read more

Beautiful sweater. Soft comfy Runs big Read more

I was really excited about this sweater, but unfortunately, it was a major letdown. The fabric is extremely scratchy and feels very low quality—definitely not what I expected. On top of that, the sizing is completely off. I’m typically a large, and even at 9 months pregnant, this cardigan is ridiculously huge. The sleeves are enormous, and the overall fit is just way too oversized to be flattering. Really disappointed—I had high hopes for this one. Read more

The cardigan has a chunky ribbed knit that feels soft in the hand. It has a bit of stretch and drape, though it is lighter than you might think from the product photos. The fabric is breathable enough for indoor wear and adds some warmth without unnecessary bulk. After a couple of wears, it holds its shape well and does not sag at the shoulders. The cut is boxy and slightly cropped, which pairs well with high-waisted jeans or skirts. The V neckline sits low, and the buttons are secure. The ribbed texture gives it a casual look that can be dressed up or down. I found the sleeves a little long, though the cuffs make it easy to push them up without losing their shape. One drawback is the care requirement. There is NO care label on the sweater, but the product description page clearly says, "Dry Clean Only", and while I have not tested hand washing, that may be a consideration for those who prefer low-maintenance clothing. The acrylic also tends to pick up lint, so it needs the occasional once-over with a fabric shaver. This is a versatile layering piece that works across seasons. It would suit someone looking for a cropped cardigan with a relaxed, easy fit rather than a heavy winter sweater. Read more

This sweater comes to my waistline and the arms are roomy enough for me to add layers of clothing underneath. I can see myself wearing this sweater as my daily go-to during chilly days during the Autumn season. I like the design and the softness of the material. I feel comfortable in it Read more
