Customers overwhelmingly praise this top for its soft, well-weighted fabric and relaxed, boxy fit that pairs easily with various outfits. The mid-weight French terry with brushed lining is frequently noted as comfortable and breathable, retaining color and shape through multiple washes. Many love the boatneck and three-quarter sleeves for their modern appeal. However, reviewers consistently report the top runs large, requiring sizing down for a flattering fit. Several also mention noticeable shrinkage after heat drying. Despite these concerns, most customers consider the quality and versatility worthwhile.

I love everything about this top. It launders well in cold water and dry flat, it doesn't stretch out of shape, and the colors are true.

Boxy sweater
Used for: Casual or Every Day
The sweater itself is nicely made. It is advertised as boxy so I expected that but it still ran large. Two sizes smaller would probably have worked better.

Relaxed??
In my previous review I forgot to mention that if you look at this item closely if considering purchase be sure and notice the width of the neckline.
It is so wide there is no way

Too big
The quality of the sweater is very good. My issue was the size, it was way too big and I bought an XS.
Wish it was true to size.

Huge

Love this boatneck but in this case "Relaxed" equals "Huge" in my opinion.
I am hoping an encounter with a really hot dryer will help solve the problem.
