Amazon Essentials Open Front Cardigan Sweater Reviews Summary

Color and Style

Pros:

• "I liked the gray color and overall it's a nice cardigan."
• "Fits perfectly, great colors."
• "I love the camel color, will go great with so many things, especially khaki."
• "I love the color yellow, I am so glad it's back in style. The lemon yellow washes me out. However, this color is perfect."
• "The caramel color is a nice transitional orangey rust."
• "Colors are exactly as shown (I have the dark blue one)."
• "I love the camel color which makes it so versatile."

Cons:

• "However, I just bought the navy one, and it almost looks black."
• "Sadly, it is cream and not white."
• "The color of the cardigan in the product images are a little misleading."
• "The color is darker than shown in the description. More an ordinary beige than ivory."
• "This was supposed to be white and it turns out to be off white...more on the cream side."
• "It was disappointing that the sweater is off-white or ivory, but definitely not the bright white shown in the picture."
• "Not at all a fresh looking white. If I realized the true color I never would have ordered it."

Material and Quality

Pros:

• "Very light weight and the fabric is very soft."
• "The material is lightweight and works perfectly over a t-shirt."
• "This sweater is light and soft. It’s a blend of cotton, modal (rayon), and polyester."
• "Great lightweight material, washes up nicely, does not shrink."
• "The fabric is buttery, soft, and so comfortable."
• "It feels so good to the touch."
• "The fabric is just the right weight for spring or fall or to keep warm in the office."

Cons:

• "Not good quality. As soon as it is washed the edges are the color of a worn t-shirt."
• "Bought 3. I like the basic style and colors but after 2 washes the chemical smell doesn't go away."
• "I gave it a 1 because I have to be honest the materials used to make the sweater are very cheap."
• "Then 'IT' happened, terrible pilling."
• "This thing literally fell apart at the seams. Cheap, Chinese fast-fashion crap. 1/10 do not recommend."
• "The only negative part about the sweater is that it fades quickly, and lint balls form after about a month of wear."
• "Material is so thin and cheap I thought it would dissolve in 1 wash cycle or instantly begin pilling."

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "It is light enough for Texas warm afternoons and warm enough for the cool mornings."
• "Love this sweater, fits beautifully, light weight, but gives warmth when needed."
• "This is the perfect cardigan! The weight (I get overheated easy), length, fit, it's all perfect!"
• "It's very comfortable and looks great with anything I've worn."
• "It’s my new favorite! The length is flattering on my 5’4” plus sized figure, and it drapes nicely."
• "I'm 5'3 115lbs I ordered an XS and it fit fine, but I ultimately decided to exchanged it for a Small. I'm happier with the Small, there is a little more room which is what I prefer."
• "I have a big bust (44dd) - this fits fine and can easily fully close - with a pleasing appearance."

Cons:

• "I wound up keeping this, but I would have been happier if I'd gotten a smaller size. It runs pretty big."
• "It’s just a very basic cardigan. It is decent, but it is certainly not worth $28."
• "For $32.00 I was expecting more with this open face cardigan."
• "I order this sweater in 2 different colors in my recommended size. While the material was nice, the shape was unflattering and very oversized."
• "Sleeves were so snug I could not wear over a long-sleeved shirt."
• "It's way too big and does not look neat."
• "It's extremely thin and shows every seam of any shirt that is worn under it."
