I bought this for Christmas as a present for my Mom. I used the sizing chart and ordered an XL. I received the sweater, and while I will agree to the previous review as far as quality (it is well sewn, and the Cashmere is of good quality, buttons are nice, etc), I found this to be really short and rather slim.  I took one of my wife's sweaters out of her closet (she is rather skinny and all her clothes are a SMALL). When I put both garments together, they looked the same size.  I will be giving this as a Christmes present to my wife (not my mom) in the end. I will say the fabric gives the impression it will stretch a bit after some use, but even length wise, I did not feel it was even close to the size of an XL.
That said, I am a male customer and possibly lack the trained eye for this kind of thing, but I *can* use a measuring tape allright.  This simply didn't work out quite as expected.  Again: quality looks very good. Only downside is that 2 days away from Xmas I now need to rush out to get a present for my mom.
