I love the weight of this sweater. It is perfect for summer when you just need a little something to cover your shoulders in the evening or in a restaurant. The knit is quite fine and delicate, but even the white covered my raspberry-colored tank underneath. However, the fit and fine touches leave something to be desired. I tried the sweater on with just a tank top. I am on the small size of medium, but the medium sweater pulled across my very average bustline and the buttons looked strained. Speaking of buttons, they are plastic - not what I expect in this price range. And like most Bean's sweaters, the arm openings are cut very, very trim. It was fine for me over a tank, but I wouldn't try it with anything with sleeves. The price was the bottom line for me. I "twenty-five dollars like it," but I don't fifty dollars like it.
very attractive but washes (or dries) poorly even using delicate cycle and laid flat to dry. The sweater was wrinkled and beyond my ironing skills. Probably needs to be dry cleaned.
