LILLUSORY Women's Crew Neck Cardigan Sweater with Gold Buttons and Striped Pattern

Liked that the stripes all lined up. I have seen more expensive ones that don't. Nice weight and quality. Gold buttons are fine but can be changed if other design or colour preferred. Not worn yet but tried on cosy, and the collar cut is ideal. Not too high and not scooped. Just enough to see your collarbone if wearing as a buttoned up top. It comes vacuum packed but don't be put off. It takes a very light iron or steamer to easily remove any wrinkles. A slightly more premium price for Amazon, but very good value given how well it is made. I love it and (subject to washing well) when budget permits I will get another colour.

I've just received my cardigan, I ordered it on 7th Dec and now it's 13th Jan, so quite a long delivery. I'm very happy with it, the quality is very good. It's nicely made and finished, also the stripes line up on all the seams which is important to me. It's quite thick, I should be able to wear it in the spring as a jacket. I'm so impressed I've ordered another in a different colour. The only thing I don't like are the buttons, I knew they were gold coloured when I ordered it so that doesn't take away from the overall design. They are easily replaced, maybe pewter or old silver would be my preference. Also the buttons are quite tight to fasten, the buttonholes may need a tiny snip at each end to make them bigger. As to the sizing, I ordered Small, I'm 37ins bust and it fits perfectly, I tried it on over a thin sweater, there's a comfortable amount of ease.

The cardigan was lovely and fitted well, several people commented on how good it looked. However, following the first wash, despite adhering meticulously to the washing instructions, the cardigan experienced colour bleeding, the black infiltrated the white sections, also the material bobbled. I removed the bobbles using a lint remover, but it still looked worn and unattractive.
