Customers overwhelmingly praise this sweater for its exceptional quality, warmth, and charming design. The heavyweight cotton construction feels durable and substantial, with vibrant colors and detailed cable stitching that reviewers describe as premium craftsmanship. The playful nautical and seasonal motifs—reindeer, ducks, anchors, fair isle patterns—are widely loved, with many reporting spontaneous compliments. Most find it true to size with a flattering, slightly loose fit, though some note it runs large or has shorter sleeves. A few mention discrepancies between images and actual embroidery details, or report strong perfume odors. Overall, most customers consider it a worthwhile favorite piece.
Adore this sweater. Petite xs, generously sized. Color is perfect, mine has the golden retrievers, looks super cute with my short tan suede skirt. But, I’m in Southern California.

I have a yellow labrador retriever so this sweater has been on my buy list. It is weighty and looks well-knitted. I bought in July so will have to wait a while to wear it.

Do not waste your money.
Fit: Too large
The sweater is extremely heavy, scratchy and overall uncomfortable.

I bought the 1X and I am usually an XL/XXL/1X (bust 45, waist 35). This fits nicely. I might say the sleeves are a little long, but they look cute cuffed. It is definitely a bulky

Patterned sweater
Fit: True to size
This is a beautiful sweater.
Sadly, I probably won't wear it often as it's very heavy and scratchy.
I tried to soften it by rewashing, but it didn't work.
