This is a lovely, finely knit, light weight sweater. I like my sweaters loose so ordered an XL. On my 5'5", 153 lb. frame, the sleeves hang to my wrists, and the body of the sweater hangs to just below my hips.  The front of the sweater lays flat against my body and remains in place.  Pockets lay flat against the body of the sweater all day.  I have washed and ironed it, and it sill looks great.
