A.F.Y Women's Short Sleeve Open Front Drape Cardigan

Comment

I’m 5’3” 185 lbs ordered 2xl. Very nice cut, light and cool, flattering. While I can tell by the tiny seam allowances that this has been made as cheaply as possible I do not regret my purchase. I wear it every week. Must be aware—this has bled dye onto other garments even after several washes and on cold. Wash with like colors for sure.

I own several of these in a myriad of colors and while they all fit exactly the same way, I would recommend that you go up a size from your normal shirt size, especially if youre more on the top-heavy side of things! The cardigan has a great give to it, but it wont necessarily lay right on your body if youre anything like me and the girls make your life complicated. While the fit is great, I do have to mention that some of the colors for these arent exactly accurate to the pictures. The mauve color is more of a heathered tomato, and the mint green with flowers is /way/ closer to olive than mint. Still very cool and great if youre like me and have to have that completer piece for when youre at work, but Id recommend sticking more to the basics (black, white, grey and navy) if you arent 100% sure about having a few different matching pieces already in your wardrobe.

I bought a bunch of different brands of this style cardigan, and this one is my favorite short sleeve option. I wish it had a long sleeve option. Reading the reviews that said it runs a bit smaller, I ordered one size up (all others of these I have ordered my usual size) which seemed to be the right thing to do. Nice and silky feel and well made. I havent washed it yet, but I plan to machine wash and hang dry as I usually do with these types of things. For long sleeved I like the B.I.L.Y. brand (which when it shows up has a tag that says "All Yours") and Lock and Love. My favorite long-sleeve is the Free to Live, but it is a lighter breezier fabric than these (which is what I wanted). I have two of these and want to get at least two more colors.

After spending the day in 2 large department stores trying on cardigans that didnt look good, or were too heavy for the season I am delighted to find this summer weight top. Frankly, as someone that gained considerable weight this year due to a medical crises Im not looking for warmth, Im looking for a covers up of my now the bulky mid-section until I can loose weight. The others I tried only seemed to accentuate this problem. However, due to the sharply angled front of this very soft comfortable and not too hot top, it sort of distracts from my mid-section issues. I paired the black over a floral top and it looked good. Im grateful for the short sleeved option that wont force me to be overheated while looking for a cover up that pulls together my outfit. I think this is perfect. I am 5.7 it might seem long on shorter people

I love it now that I have it in the correct size. Im about 55" 160lbs and have wide hips so when I bought the large it felt a little too tight. The XL is just right. The only thing Im upset about is that I really wanted the grey with flowers and I waited months and it seemed they just wouldnt be getting my size in stock, so I bought a plain grey and as soon as it arrived the one with flowers had XL. But oh well, Im not going to try exchanging again. Edit: I should also mention my shirt size is generally large.
