No attention to detail
Soft yet substantial cardigan. Complimented when I wore it to work. The chains are burgundy-colored (on the burgundy one), toned to match the sweater. The knit material does cling. Might show your "spare tire" and back fat if you have those issues, but I didn't want to go up a size. Has about a 6-inch-wide rib trim at the bottom and at the cuff of the sleeves (which could have been longer for me). Seems like there are rows of chain trim on both sides of the placket and then fabric is sewn over them at intervals, creating that floating chain look. Unfortunately, mine is finished poorly at the bottom - one side has a complete chain segment ending at the bottom of the sweater, but the other side has just three single chain links at the very end of the ribbing. For the clingy-ness and the poor finishing work, three stars.

Runs Small
I ordered this sweater in Taupe and Black size Large. Most of George's stuff runs large and I have serveral other items (knits) in large and find them to be very roomy. Almost too much but I'm keeping it because it's comfortable for business travel. When I tried on the cardigans I as disappointed when I didn't have enough room to button them. I normally wear a 12-14. Large is supposed to be 14-16. I will admit that I am busty. So if you are too, I suggest ordering larger than your normal size. I sent both back and ordered XL. Hope it works.

Very Lovely Cardie
I ordered this sweater in the black, size S, and I can't tell you how expensive it feels. The fit is fab, the feel of the sweater is wonderful. You will not go wrong by taking advantage of the sale price. The size is very true to whatever size you order. Buy it!

LOVELY CHAIN-TRIM CARDIGAN
This is such a beautiful sweater! I ordered the Plum -- its chain detail appears to be a dark rose gold. The sweater color is very deep and rich, and thanks to QVC, I have several pieces of rose gold jewelry to pair with it. It looks and feels so good on me that I am thinking about coming back for a second color. I suspect the "boyfriend" descriptor in the title may have scared off customers. It's not boxy and oversized at all; in fact, I found it to be a very slimming silhouette on my plus-sized body. I especially like the tapered sleeves -- both comfortable and stylish. I may not be one of the elegant "ladies who lunch," but in this cardigan, I will feel like one!

Exquisite
Just received and opened the package. The fabric is like silk, the chain trim just
the right amount. I ordered the black and it looks like I spent a million dollars for
it. The sweater is very rich-looking. I am very happy and may have to order
another. Worth every penney and so much more.

Very Rich Looking
Ordered the Claret and Plum. They have a nice look and feel to them. They could have easily cost more. I ordered the large as I wear a 16. They fit close to the body so if you are looking for a loose fit, I would recommend ordering up a size. I like the closer fit of this sweater.
