I wanted to like this sweater so badly. It is well made, but works best on someone who is not short waisted - since the zipper is the length of the entire garment, when it is zipped it folds over on itself in an unflattering way for short persons like myself. Pulling it down over my hips to straighten out the zipper looks even more strange. Wearing it open is better, but I already have several wraps that look the same way, and was hoping to have something different, especially considering the price point. I hemmed and hawed about it and finally decided I would keep the sweater but exchange it for the blue instead of the black, because the black and white looks too severe on me (but I really wanted to keep the sweater, dang it!). BUT I hemmed and hawed too long, and now the window for exchanges or returns is closed. It's a very expensive mistake to make, and I'm sad that I didn't get the chance to at least exchange it for a color that would have been more pleasing on me. Lesson learned.
