This is a nice sweater. The quality of construction and look is very nice. I bought it as a gift in the Vanilla color. The photo on this page shows the main background vanilla color as almost white, so I figured in "real life" it would be a very pale beige.

When I received the sweater, however, I could see that the background color is actually a warm cream. It is still a light color, but it may not be a sweater you'd wear with a white shirt - you'd need more of an ecru shirt if you're going with a pale color shirt underneath. (Also, just in case you aren't sure, the darkest row of diamonds on the front, on the left side of the sweater, is a very dark brown - not black.)

The knit is soft. This is not a thick sweater. Rather it is a lovely dressy (and classy) sweater.

I'm keeping the sweater to give as the gift, because the quality of the sweater itself is good and the coloring of the sweater is still very nice, just not exactly as I expected.

Happy Reader
