I love my sweaters.  If you're looking for a warm winter sweater, this is not it.  This sweater is light enough to wear in warmer climates and still be fashionable.  It has a very nice length and flows well as you walk.  I normally wear an XL, but after reading the reviews, I ordered the 2XL.  I probably would have been fine with the XL but I don't like my sweaters tight.  I have placed this in the washer and the dryer and it has done great.  (No shrinking.)
