The cardi that dreams (and songs) are made of

Many reviewers are not just impressed by the overall quality, but how easily this cardigan can be transitioned into a more dressy-casual look.

One five-star reviewer writes, "I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this sweater. I wanted a navy sweater, just to wear around the house to pair with all my cozies. Working from home video call tip — a sweater magically makes you look dressier than a sweatshirt! This sweater was good quality — I was most impressed with the softness, not scratchy while still looking higher quality. I wash this and put in the dryer on a lower heat. I'd say its not thick and chunky, but definitely would not describe as lightweight. The navy color that I got is very deep, almost black."

Another five-star reviewer notes that she received many compliments after ordering this cardi: "[It's] well made and fits perfectly. I don’t like my sweaters tight and this is comfy without being baggy. Very pretty weave and the color I chose goes perfectly with a wide variety of blue jeans and leggings."

"I received my first one as a gift and promptly went and bought one in another color," said this repeat customer. "It layers perfectly for cooler spring/fall days and evenings and goes comfortably over another shirt for winter wear. So cute and covers just below my bottom with a flattering curve. Even my partner likes this on me!"

Grab this wardrobe essential in your favorite color now while you can.
