Elle Sweater

Mine fits fine and lays perfectly across my neck whether as a boatneck, slight off-shoulder, or full off-shoulder - love the versatility in neckline options. I've designed many drapy tops and dresses, so I'm very familiar with drape necklines. These buttons aren't too heavy for the light knit and don't drag it down. Torso is neither too long nor short in my opinion, though other buyers have commented otherwise. Not too tight across my 32DD chest - basically looks like a C but often causes commercial XS tops to pull across the chest, resulting in never knowing if you should end up with a XS or S in anything even between designs within the same brand. This actually may be why others are having a drape issue where I am not - what is excessive fabric for others is the exact amount for this to fit perfectly across my chest and therefore have no excess fabric to fight with. I don't even need to fidget with the buttons to make them lay straight across as a boatneck or drape well and showcase themselves as an off-shoulder, a step other reviewers across the two Nordstrom listing for this sweater (this black and the grey marl) had mentioned being necessary.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to like this sweater. The mint green color is beautiful and the fabric is lovely and soft. However, the design just isn't practical. When I first put it on it looked really good... but as soon as I started moving around, this sweater was all over the place. The shoulders wouldn't stay in place and would fall forward and make the neck droop and gape, the sleeves and hem kept twisting every which way, and I was constantly having to readjust everything. Overall, this sweater was a sloppy mess.
