this bluefly sweater

Eurodaisy · Dooney & Bourke

I have this sweater in a Medium... but in this color: style #2020946 available sizes: XS/P S M L

I've got a 34" bust and long arms, and the fit for me was just about perfect. I also love how long the sweater's torso is ... it looks great with dressy pants. The neck came down a bit lower on me than it shows in the picture, so it's terrific for going out, but I usually wear a tank underneath for work to raise the neckline a bit.

HTH!

Thanks so much. I am a 35A in the chest with a bra on so do you think it will be too tight in a medium? Also, I have never worn cashmere so it is really hot? Thanks.

I think a medium should work fine.... but you could also do what I do and order both the medium and the large, see which one fits best, and send the other back.

I was always hesitant to pay the big bucks for cashmere before, but now that I have a couple of sweaters, I see why it's worth it. Cashmere is a light, natural fiber that comes from other live animals (i.e., goats), so it breathes nicely (it has to while it's on their little goat bodies). The weather around here has been so crazy, plus when it's hot outside, it's always freezing in my office... and my cashmere has kept me perfectly comfortable through it all. I wouldn't recommend wearing it in the summer, of course, but it's definitely a three-season type of fiber. Plus it's so soft!

Thanks so much. I think I am going to order it. Now I just need to find a coupon code--but that still is an awesome price for cashmere.
