Luckily I read the reviews a head of time and was expecting a very thin shirt. I would say that it's about the same weight as a t-shirt. I like it though. It makes a great under shirt under cardigans. The one thing I was surprised by was the color. I had selected the Pink "sweater"...not the Bright Pink. And man or man is the Pink sweater ever PINK. I thought it was going to be more the shade of cotton candy from the picture. It is in fact the color of Pepto Bismol. Not bad per say...just different than what I had expected. Sizing seems to be pretty generous. It's isn't tight in the least. In fact, I probably could have gone down a size and would have been fine. I'm a pear shaped 5'3"er- the sleeves are maybe a TAD bit long on me. The sweater hits right at my hip socket. I'm thinking that this "sweater" wouldn't be long enough for a tallish woman (say...anything over 5'6" maybe?). The arms and tummy are both very loose...not at all clingy. The fit is awesome for me. The only reason I'm deducting a star is because the color is so different than what was pictures.
