This cardigan looks terrible from behind. It is plain and uglly from behind, and it tends to have a bit of volume on the bottom on the back due to the construction. You can never wear this with the buttons open, because it doesn't look good. The knit is very loose--I can imagine this becoming quite mishapen. I am returning. The sleeves are shorter than they should be. I ordered a size up and found the sleeves to be just a hair shorter than perfect.

This is a beautiful sweater. The beaded area at the bottom gives it a lot of character.

This sweater looks cute in the picture, but there are several flaws in the knitting (pointed out to me by orange stickers) and it runs very small.
