Monterey Funnel Neck Sweater

I was rooting against this sweater. I really wasn’t looking to spend this much on a cotton sweater. However once I slipped it over my head it was game over. It is a relaxed true to size. I’m a 10-12 (5’4 148lbs) and I love the fit of the large. It is extremely flattering, somehow making me look long & lean when I’m anything but. It also feels like heaven on the skin, smooth & silky yet still warm. Love the way it rolls up at the bottom, it gives it a bit of an edge on an otherwise classic piece. I also love the seams on the arms, these details add a uniqueness that separates Frank & Eileen from the million of other sweaters out there. Although pricy, in my opinion it looks more expensive than the price. I bought it in navy too.

I was wary of this sweater based on some of the reviews, however after an online order with an in store pick up and try on that I was secretly hoping to hate, I fell in love and turned around and purchased the Navy as well. On my body, it felt a bit oversized. I purchased both medium and large, tried on the medium and it was still a little bit oversized but complete perfection. I did not have an issue with tight arms, neck or shoulders. It’s a mock neck of sorts and should fit a bit snug. It did not strangle me and I did not feel like it was uncomfortable. I do not have the neck of a swan (more like a moose), so when I say it wasn’t tight, I’m speaking from the experience of someone with a wider neck. As said by another reviewer, the material is amazing! Yes, it’s expensive- but it’s made to last and will be worn for years to come.

I was so looking forward to getting my first F & E sweater. Wow was this heavy, bulky and ran huge. I would highly suggest sizing down. The hem also curled up but not in a flattering way. Kinda bummed. The color is perfect though. Highly suggest this "cotton" sweater for a colder climate unless you get cold easily.
