This sweater is stunning and was worn twice. It has never been washed and was purchased brand new from me. Dale's are not plus sized, be familiar with the brand before you buy-this sweater was returned by a bad buyer who claimed it was itchy (yeah, it is wool). A large is like a small in this brand. New wool is not smooth and sheds. After dealing with some Posh bullies that want free items, I must now say the following. By buying from me you acknowledge the following: I do not take measurements unless asked, it is your responsibility to see if if the item you buy fits by being familiar with the brand, checking size charts etc. I am not responsible if clothes do not fit you. I work full time and am very busy, therefore you won't get fancy packaging or a card from me. I have pets, pet hair WILL make its way on everything I sell. My home is smoke free. If you are buying wool items from me, realize no matter if they are brand new or not, wool sheds and pills. New wool is NOT smooth and soft and will have shedding. No wool items I sell have been shrunken or washed unless specified. I offer cheap prices because I don't do all of the above. If you are a pain, move on because I don't want to deal with you.
