This is quite a beautiful cardigan. I am a 2x, and this fits me a little tight, but that is how I want it. I didn't want something that would fit loosely over my breasts, I wanted something that would hang nicely to the sides. This does the trick! The lace on the back and shoulders is what really makes the cardigan "pop" and is my favorite feature! The back is long enough to go over my backside, but the front is shorter and tiers upwards as shown in the picture.

If you are looking for a cardigan that will cover your breasts like in the picture, order a size up from what you typically wear. If you want it to fit snug and hang to the sides, get your normal size.
