Pros: It drapes beautifully. (The hood is large and falls naturally) The velvet is soft and dark. The upper sides and end of the sleeves are bunched with elastic and look extra fancy. (and gives a bit of shape in the back) The material is light and thin for summer wear. (a flowy cardigan) Cons: There is no lining. The sleeves fit nicely at the wrist. (I prefer longer) I am 5'5" 32, 26, 36 I bought a small.
