Happy Purchaser
I ordered this sweater in both red and white, and they are perfect addition to any outfit. The longer length and deep V-neck along with the body of the fabric are very flattering. I wear a large and found the fit to be spot on. After washing, I put them in the dryer on low, and took them out while damp and hung to finish drying. No shrinkage at all! I wore the red to work and received so many compliments. I'm considering going back to order the black.

Nice fit , Flattering- BUT you will need to IRON
Just to be clear-- this is a COTTON sweater-- not knit. And that means IRONING.
I bought the grapefruit first, thinking it might be nice to add a bit of Spring color to my wardrobe. Right out of the bag, I loved it: very nice, soft lightweight fabric--perfect for over a tank or cami on a spring/summer day. But I woried that the color might fade or that it might lose its shape after washing.
I needn't have worried. The color is still beautiful and the shape is still perfect. Didn't shrink--even though I had to dry it for a few minutes on higher heat because it seemed like it was taking forever to get fully dry on low heat. BUT--it was very wrinkled. It's not a "throw on and go" sweater. I highly recommend if you don't mind ironing-- and I just ordered the blue and black because I can see this as wardrobe staple during warmer weather.--but if you hate to iron, this might not be the one for you.
I understand what one of the other reviewers said about length-- I am 5'1" and often find Liz clothing to be too long, but this one was perfect. Pair with the battenberg lace tank from D&C. A hint of lace out of the top of the sweater is so cute!

Cute Basic Cardigan, Colors Not True
I really liked this cardigan; it's stylish and it fits well. However, the color listed as royal blue is really purple. I purchased it to wear over a top with true royal blue in the print and this simply did not look right over it at all. I returned it to exchange it for the white cardigan, but, of course, the white is sold out in my size. I wish they would just tell us when the colors are off or correctly name the colors. So disappointed!

Not a. Traditional cardigan
After watching the tv presentation, I thought I was receiving a knit cardigan sweater. It is NOT! This is a heavy weight tshirt jersey knit fabric and more of a cover up.the description is misleading. If you're looking for a casual beach weather cover up this is great! If your looking for a knit cardigan, not so much!

GREAT SUMMER CARDIGAN
I love this top. Unlike other cardigans made by some of the designers....this one is NOT boxy and is more form-fitting. I have no clue why others would say this sweater is not flattering because it most definitely is. I wear a size L and found it fit perfectly. Not too tight.....and not boxy at all. I love the sleeve length and the light-weight knit is perfect for summer or mild year-round climate areas. I live in So. Cal. and feel I can wear this all months of the year.....except perhaps the hottest time in summer......I think the deep v-neck is very attractive and best for showing off necklaces....unlike other cardigans with higher necklines.
I love the length....it looks great with the chiffon Liz Claiborne skirts. I was not wild about the camis that were shown to pair with this. The sizing was off on them and the skinny shoulder straps are kind of strange......I will be sending those back. I simply paired my cardigan with another cami and it worked great.......I would love to see this little sweater in more colors. It is a perfect sweater.......wouldn't change a thing.

Like, but...
These are really nicely made cardigans, BUT a bit longer length than what I would consider flattering--would prefer to see a high-hip length. The sizing is WAY off. I can wear a L/XL, but the sizing for this top (and the camisoles) is about 1-2 sizes larger. I ordered a black and white cardigan in a 1X (according to bust size--I am large busted, but 1-2 sizes smaller in skirts/pants), both were huge, and the black was not a deep black, more of a washed out black. Both going back, and the camis I ordered will be exchanged for my regular size. Also, I wish they would do a just below the elbow or right at the elbow sleeve. Unless you have really LONG arms, the 3/4 seems a very unflattering length.

Lovely Surprise!
I was surprised when I opened my package to find a super smooth knit "sweater". I purchased the bright red and it is beautiful! The feel is somewhat like an extremely soft, smooth T-shirt but with a little more body to it. What I really like is that when I put it on over a maxi skirt it stays straight! It must have something to do with the weight of the fabric but it drapes beautifully. I can be a medium or a large with Liz and I am happy I purchased this in the large. Thinking of getting the black and white as well. Seasonless!

Love It
This is a great light cardigan (tshirt weight/fabric) for the summertime. I got it in royal blue though and it definitely looks more like a grape purple than a blue tone.

Sorta ok.
This is more of a T shirt knit type fabric. It has a odd shape. I found this to be narrow at the bottom and wide through the shoulders hung a bit odd. I wear a Large and maybe it was just my body type (Apple shape). Back they go.
