These are cute sweaters. They are soft and thin... but not too thin. They feel high quality. I always wear my cardigans with camis so the v in front is perfect. They come to your waist so you really need a shirt underneath them but that is the style now-a-days. I'm 5'5" and 152 pounds. I got a medium. I usually wear a small or medium in clothing stores but since this buttoned, i didn't want the buttons to gap. It fits perfectly over my chest.
