I usually wear a size small/medium, especially in sweaters, but this item was too small in the arms: tight around the underarm area and too short in arm length.  Also, there were two weird, separating elastic thread type seams around each arm which was not listed in the on-line description.  I am a designer and can't think what went through the sweater designer's mind on that feature.  Otherwise, it was beautiful and the quality was very nice.  The shipment arrived a few days before expected.  I am sad I must return it, but a larger size is no longer available.
