Review on Women'S Rafaella Heat Set Cardigan: Keep Warm In Style! by Antonio Gonzalez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not what I was expecting.

When I ordered this cardigan, I was expecting it to look closer to what is pictured on the site. Unfortunately for me, it didn't work out that way.This is a much thinner cardigan than I thought it would be. It also had a very awkward fit on me that isn't too flattering. I'm barely 5'4" and a Medium. While it fits fine as a Medium overall and seems true to size, the supposedly 3/4 sleeves look really weird on me. They don't look at all like the picture (which shows a true 3/4 sleeve fit).they ALMOST go all the way down my arms to my wrists, which just makes them look ill-fitted and too short in a bad way. Like an inch or so too short.sort of a look you used to get as a child when you outgrew a shirt a little.or as an adult when you get something that initially fits, then you wash it and it shrinks in all the wrong ways. Yikes.I thought the silver accents would look really pretty and add a nice finishing touch to the cardigan, but it just doesn't look that great in person, which was disappointing. They're not really evenly distributed, and since they stand out against the white color and there's no other patterns on it, it's really noticeable that they aren't even. It's just awkward and looks like a child sewed/put it all together. Not professionally made at all. Argh.For me, this was a good length in the torso, but I'm on the shorter side. Ironically, the sleeves would probably look OK and be truly 3/4 length if you are tall and have nice, long arms.but it might also make the cardigan wear a little too short in the torso for you. I'm not sure where a happy medium might land for this.Overall, this is just a wonky fit for me, and I wasn't thrilled with it like I thought I would be. It didn't look near as nice as what is pictured. It's OK to wear around the house, I guess, and I'll probably take it along with me when I go to a movie theater (I always get WAY too cold in there when I wear short sleeves), for instance, but it's not something I'm going to be wearing while out and about in broad daylight in public, because it looks very cheap, non-symmetrical, and it's ill-constructed. Bummer!

Pros
  • The cardigan is made from high-quality materials, so it is both durable and long-lasting
Cons
  • The cardigan may not be durable enough to withstand frequent wear and washing
