This cardigan is classic design and oversized for an XL. I would honestly call it a 1X - check measurements. I also want to point out the tiniest of marks on the upper back and next to the top bottom - imperceptible if you weren’t looking for them. This gem has hung in my closet for a while and I debated washing it but decided against it since I don’t want a hint of dampness if it’s shipping to you. It was ridiculously expensive when I bought it out of necessity in Orlando a number of years ago - one of those unexpected cold waves😮 and I needed something fast! Hope it is a foundational item you can add to your wardrobe. It rolls up so nicely in a tote and doesn’t wrinkle at all! Perfect for travel and a chilly airplane!
