Not best purchase

No, I don't recommend this

I thought it looked good on line but it was horrible when l sent for it so I sent it back, it was too long and floaty not nice at all very disappointed, l wanted a no fasten cardigan with a roll collar but not down to my knees and l don't know what was going on with the back of it, it would've been better in a heavier material, not all floaty and loose round the back

Poor quality once again M&S

No, I don't recommend this

Really disappointed in this, the second cardigan I have had to return to M&S recently because it has "bobbled" badly on first wear.

Just what I needed

Yes, I recommend this

I needed a simple yet stylish long-line cardi to wear over tunic tops with skinny trousers, that would be warm without looking too chunky or casual. This is just perfect - I can't recommend it highly enough.

Styling - 10, Quality - 9

Yes, I recommend this

Fell in love with this cardigan in-store; was looking for a replacement for my venerable black oblong cardigan, which sadly bobbled after about 5 years. I'm 5'3" and I'd describe it as a nice mini-length; a good 4-6 inches above the knee. Very flattering, excellent fit in my usual size, lovely shape. The fabric is a bit rough - reminiscent of the low-priced lambswool sweaters I wore in the 70s/80s that couldn't be worn against bare skin - but as a cardigan that isn't too big an issue and the high back neckline hasn't caused any irritation. No bobbles yet, but I don't wash cardigans every wear so that may be a factor. Very pleased with the look, if a touch disappointed in the feel, and it's nice and warm without adding unwanted bulk.

Unusual fit

No, I don't recommend this

Bought this online as I was after a stylish longline navy cardigan and I couldn't see one in my local store. I found it to be tight around the shoulders but very voluminous at the back so it didn't suit me. I also found the material a bit rough against my skin but this might improve after washing. I'll never know as I decided to return it as it wasn't for me.

Have now bought four of them

Yes, I recommend this

I love this cardigan and wear it most days (have even bought a spare one in case it sells out before I need a replacement). I have also bought two for my mum who loves them. They cover all the lumps and bumps and I don't have a baggy elbow problem with them at all.

baggy after a couple of hours

No, I don't recommend this

Looks great as soon as you try it on, great fabric! However wear for an hour or more and you get baggy elbow syndrome (which means I will need to wash after ever wear, which will lead to it going in the bin in next to no time) I would avoid this one and go for the Cashmire cardigan with buttons on sleeves and pockets (wears much better for just a little bit extra)

Useful cardigan

Yes, I recommend this

The cardigan arrived looking like a bit of rag in a bag ! But after careful ironing it now looks and fits lovely. The style is very flattering and covers all the lumps and bumps. A very useful cardigan to have in my wardrobe.

Mistake purchase

Yes, I recommend this

This open front swing cardigan is soft and hangs beautifully off the shoulder. Due to the flair design around the hip level it makes a short figure appear wider. Therefore it has to be returned.

Love the Fit, Hate the bobbling

No, I don't recommend this

I really like the fit of this cardigan which is true to size. However, I really, really hate the bobbling and was glad I waited to post a review until I'd worn it and washed it a few times. It started bobbling during the first wear and washing (very carefully for a wool garment) only made it worse. It's not just on the underarms and side seams, but all over - to such an extent that I leave behind a trail on seats, on any other garments I'm wearing with it and on my bedroom floor! Not very impressed at all I'm afraid.
