This is a very nice sweater. I really like the feel of the fabric - silky and smooth. The model I bought does have some silk in it. My only complaint is the color. I wanted navy and the sweater is almost black - rather cool shade of black. I wish it were more blue. I am size 8 and ordered a Medium. It fits well, but perhaps Large would have been a bit better. If I decide to order another color, it will be in size Large. The product came promptly and so far survived two washings without any consequences. So, I recommend this sweater.
