This was my second purchase. I liked my grey one so much I bought another. I did buy a large though I wear a medium normally but it fits nicely. I didn't even realize that these were plus sizes until I went into purchase a second one. They must run small since I wear a normal medium . To me the material is more like t-shirt material not a sweater but I like it. My light gray one is like a sweatshirt color gray and the light pink is definitely a bubblegum pink.
