Review on Women'S Open Front Cardigan Sweater By OLRAIN by Terry Murphy

Does it fit?Absolutely! I wear a 2x/3x in some stores even a 4x. I ordered an XL jumping on the faith train that everyone was right and it’s very giving. All reviews are right! It’s huge but in a good way! I had plenty of room in the arm area and I have HUGE arms (not muscle but fat you’ll see in the pictures) the cuffed part didn’t feel tight at all when I bent my elbow. Don’t let that XL scare you! It’s VERY giving!Does it cover my butt?Yes! I’m 5”3 and it covered my butt and it hit my *ahem* stomach area just fine! I really feel like the way it curves down instead of going straight down really helps!What is the sheer/see through ratio?Well. it is see through! In my regular lit (very dirty sorry!) room it didn’t look see through. Pull back a curtain and let the natural light flow you can see how see through it is. Think mesh! It’s like one step above mesh BUT it’s the material, you can’t complain with that material.Smell?Definitely had a Smokey smell! It made me nauseated! I washed it with cold water and lots of smell good stuff by hand in a sink. The color of the water ugh. It could very well been the dye but with the smell it made me wonder if it was tar and nicotine.Cons?The way it is shaped at the bottom it has weird this shaped part. Think coned bra madonna! It’s where the fabric has been cut and made to give it the overall "curved” look at the bottom of my hips. I like the look of everything but at certain angles it does look odd. However, I can get over it because the overall love of the look outweighs that one weird hip shape that only happens maybe once or twice? Also, because of the material of the fabric it is definitely static prone. BAD. Have lots of hair spray, static control, at hand when wearing this.Why the four stars?The smell. I know I can wash it (which as I stated I did) and I know in some factories there can be a smell but it literally smelled like it came from a house full of smokers.Overall thoughts?I love it. I think it is definitely on a fine line between grandma and modern. With the right top though and accessories it can be so cute! I’m in love with it and I know it will definitely come in handy during the summer. Either during a "personal summer” (hot flash people, hot flash) or during a real ol’ crappy heat wave. Definitely sheer and comfortable enough!
