I bought this sweater for my nearly 80 year old mother who is often cold (despite living in Las Vegas!), who is about 5'2 and who recently gained weight around her middle (she's about 150 lbs as I write this). We are hoping to get her to lose some weight as well as get some nice tops in (she hasn't shopped for anything in a long time). I ordered about 4 sweaters on here and 3 t-shirts, I had to return all of them except for this sweater. I got her an extra large and it fit her beautifully.  I attached a picture of her with it on although it may be hard to see with her jacket on.  I love this sweater on her so much (and she does too!) I ordered 2 more in purple and blue. I may even get the maroon color. The quality of this sweater is beautiful and would be about 2X the price in department stores.  My Mom said it doesn't scratch her, it wasn't too hot to wear and it felt so nice on her.  Take a risk and find your favorite color in these sweaters (they have an amazing variety of colors!) and go for it. You will not be disappointed.
