One of His Best!
I love this cardigan. In fact it is my second one. I bought the same one in the same color several years ago and since then I have lost weight. I liked it so much and had so many complements that I ordered it again in a smaller size. I wear it with a yellow silk tank top and white pants in South Florida and it is perfect for the Palm Beach resort area.

GORGEOUS/ FEMININE/ CLASSY
WOW, THIS CARDIGAN IS 10x PRETTIER THAN IT LOOKS IN THE PICTURE. I have been drooling over this cardigan for the longest time but my favorite color is aqua and the aqua in this sweater just looked dull and not that pretty, however I really liked the sweater. But I don’t wear white very often because I’m large and just don’t feel comfortable in white, yet every time I wear white, (Bob Mackie of course), people rave about how pretty I look. But I just wasn’t sure I wanted the white in this sweater. Well then I saw a close up of the embroidery and neckline of the coral and WOW, it just looked so gorgeous. So that’s what I got. Well then I found a nice pale rose cami that matched the cardigan as though they were made together. So then I wore it. Well you should have heard the compliments. The fruit and embroidery on the cardigan is so striking that you can almost see the little droplets of water where they sprayed the fresh fruit. The weight is a nice medium weight for a spring cardigan and for me a summer cardigan and it’s so very soft. You can’t beat this sweater, except for maybe his Indian bead cardigan, the Dahlia cardigan, the Renaissance Cardigan, the Paisley cardigan and the zip front sequin cardigan with the elastic cardigan. I’m not saying that all these other cardigans are better than the Ambrosia, but certainly right up there with those. Also the white trim all down the placket and around the neck, and I love the sleeves as they are not so much a bell sleeve but just a bit wider than a regular sleeve. So result? ONE GORGEOUS CARDIGAN AND STRIKING, FEMININE, BEAUTIFUL AND CLASSY. Thank you Bob for doing it again and making me feel gorgeous. Your loyal fan, Candy

Another Fantastic Bob Mackie Wonder
Over the last two years, I have bought three Bob Mackie cardigans and this one makes the fourth! Every time I wear one of his pieces I receive many compliments from my colleagues. I am a special education middle school teacher and grew up in an era when teachers dressed up and looked professional for work. You can dress for work and for an evening out. I am also petite, so the 3/4 length sleeves are perfect for me! All pieces are easily cold-water washed in a mesh bag in the washer and hung-dried! I bought this cardigan in black. My only recommendation would be to not have tags or to sew them somewhere else on the garment as they are a bit itchy. Thank you for your creative genius Mr. Mackie!

Nice, but the seafoam is mint green in person
Nice sweater. Bright, cheery embroidery. The sweater material is not as bright as I'd expected but this is the fault of computer screens & t.v.'s not the manufacturer necessarily. but I would call this mint green instead of seafoam. To me seafoam implies a bit of blue in it like a minty turquoise, not a true mint. When I got it the sweater is a true mint. Very pretty though. My shoulders are 17" across, 34C bust, 32" waist, 39" hips. I had to order an XXS in order for the shoulder seams not to droop down over shoulders. Fit is nice. I love the milky plastic buttons - they fit nice in the button holes, not too tight like some companies.

Lovely
This sweater is a compliment magnet. Everytime I wear it I get lots of postive feedback...and even more important...I love wearing it. Not only does the sweater look and feel good, it is so cheerful looking that it makes me feel good just to look at it. Perfect weight and design for spring and summer....great length and very well made.

Wonderful Way to Wear Bright Colors
Normally, bright spring/summer colors don't look good on me but I thought I'd take a chance on this since there was a black background option with the bright design. I am so happy I ordered it!!! The sweater has just enough of the bright design to look legitimately like a spring/summer item but the neutral black tones all of that down so I can pull off wearing the happy colors. The fit is great, the material is great, and I know I will wear this as often as I wear the other Bob Mackie designs in my closet. Thank you so much!

Just Lovely
This is classy and vibrant, I purchased it in the black and the colors just POP! I've only worn it once but I had three positive comments from complete strangers. Nice weight not too heavy, perfect for spring/summers here in TN.

Excellent Craftmanship
I ordered this sweater in green and it just arrived. The craftmanship on the embriodery is superb. The sweater is beautiful and looks very rich and elegant WOW! I tried it on with white crop pants and a coral cami and coral kitten heel slides, STUNNING!

Another Mackie Masterpiece!
I'm crazy about this sweater! I ordered the soft white option, which is trimmed in a pretty coral color. The embroidery is so beautiful, and I love the festive design. The length is just perfect. This sweater has a delicate knit, and will be wonderful to wear on chilly days. I've always been impressed with the quality and beauty of Bob Mackie's clothes, and this one is no exception. I love it!!

Very light weight
I found the sweater beautifully made but a little too light weight for my desires. I really would have kept it had it not had all the fruit on it. I would have preferred a more geometric or flower design. The fruit seemed silly to me...just my opinion. I know that others liked it.
