Alpaca Blend Cardigan

I was initially drawn to this alpaca blend cardigan because it looks incredibly soft. However, upon removing it from the bag, I was disappointed to find that it actually feels scratchy against the skin. Additionally, I noticed that after just briefly holding the sweater up to my body to check the length, I was covered in fuzz from it. The plastic buttons contribute to a cheaper feel, which detracts from the overall quality of the cardigan. Based on the product photos, I expected a longline fit since it appears to hit mid-thigh on the model, and models are usually around 5'10". Unfortunately, it's actually just a regular hip length, which was not what I anticipated. To make matters worse, I’m frustrated that the purchase is final sale, as I expected much better quality from Nordstrom. I wouldn’t feel comfortable giving this sweater away, as it creates quite a mess. I hope this review helps other potential buyers avoid a similar disappointment.
