This sweater fit body conforming which I like, and was better made than I expected. The V-neck didn't show cleavage which is important to me as I have larger breasts and wanted to wear this for work. I actually wore it for a professional headshot for my job and it looked great in the photo. I'm 5'4", 177 pounds and ordered and XL. Since I am shorter in stature, the sleeves and torso length were a tiny bit long for me, but this doesn't bother me at all. The color block had a slimming effect and it was very comfortable. Very happy with this purchase
