These sweaters are a favorite go to of mine but they do wear out rather quickly. I wear them often though. The color is excellent and the material is soft and has give to it. I bought the XL, I am a 14-16. If I button it, which I rarely do, it has only a tiny bit of button pull and I am a 38 DD.
I have this sweater in several colors and would recommend it. The star reduction is only for the amount of pilling that happens.
