"Such a cute 50's era style sweater. I just love the design on the back shoulders. The fit is a little small, so I would suggest sizing up one size. I think I will get a lot of wear out of this beauty!!"

50's Anyone??
,PostedAugust 10, 2010
"I love to dress from a different era. This sweater does just that, paired with a pencil skirt and you feel pretty and classy....The 'V"neck is a little low but nothing a cami can't help with."

Very cute
,PostedJuly 30, 2010
Pros: unique design
Cons: bit over priced
"Tried this sweater on in my normal size M and it does fit a little close, but comfortably over my 34B's. At top of placket is a snap. More busty women will need to size up. Also, the sleeves came to a little longer than bracelet length on me. I did notice on a couple of the sweaters a little black mark, so look closely at your sweater. It is very darling and would like very stylish with a black pencil skirt or skinny jeans. I do think it's over price at $118. Will keep my eye on it once the weather is more sweater friendly in the Fall."

"Much softer than I thought it would be. I figured the front might be a little stiff, but it wasn't at all. I would go one size up with this one as the buttons have a tendency to want to pull and I think even if you went up (like I did) you'd still get a nice fit. I'm 5'9" and 145 lbs and went with a Large. I ordinarily stick with Medium tops.
It's beautiful, really. It reminds me of something Marilyn Monroe would have worn. I was a bit hesitant because of the price, but after putting it on, I realized it is worth every penny!"

"this cardigan is not too pretty lying down but when on, it's much better. i find the material to be slightly itchy and the fit is pretty snug. it is also shorter than a normal cardigan - the length of it as a whole and the sleeves which are up to the middle of my forearm. the back design is interesting and i like how the buttons are covered in cloth. makes it much nicer. however, i feel that for a cardigan like this, it should not be worth $118. i would definitely buy it if it were $80 or so. it's pretty, but not $118 pretty."

PostedJuly 26, 2010
Pros: soft material, well made, flattering cut
Cons: black section at top, loose sequins
"I found that this sweater fit well in my regular size medium (I am a 36C, 5'8"). The material was soft and comfortable and not too heavy. However, I found that that the black section at the top highlighted my shoulders unflatteringly. The points were more toward the front of my arm, rather than being in the middle of the sleeve. In all, it made for an awkward effect. The bow's sequins looked like they might fall off if I brushed them against something. The bow itself was charming, though.
This sweater might work better on someone else, but for me, it was simply too expensive for an okay fit."

lackluster
,PostedJuly 20, 2010
Pros: good fit, heavy weight
Cons: dull in person
"I thought I was going to LOVE this sweater, but when I got to it in store I was not wowed. The bow was a dull material and the goldish beads looked very plane. The fit was pretty good and the construction was good (but cropped!), but in real life the sweater fell flat in the looks department for me for a $100+ sweater."

Bow-tiful Cardi
,PostedJuly 17, 2010
Pros: bow, colors, weight
"I'm a fan of most anything that is tastefully done with bows and this cardi did not fail me. The contract between the black and cream is lovely as is the subtle gold sparkle in the bow. The buttons are also fabric covered which lends a clean finish to the look. I also found that I needed to size up from my regular size small and found that the medium fit perfectly. The length on this is longer which I prefer and the sleeve are full length. Overall, I lovely, unique cardi that will work for all seasons."

PostedJuly 16, 2010
"I really liked this sweater for it's retro look. And I do agree with some previous reviews in that I wish the price was a bit lower. But actually the quality does justify the price especially if you're going to get alot of use out of it.
Also it does run snug. While my normal size small in this brand fit, the medium just felt better and more comfortable. I'd recommend going up just 1 size. The sleeves are nice & long. It didn't seem itchy to me at all and it was well made with the sequins offering a tastefull placement to make the creme bow pop out from the background.
Overall I would definitely recommend for it aesthetic retro vibe. And, well, it seems like a classic Anthro piece. But I didn't take it home with me as I wanted to exercise some self control to wait it out for the sale. But who am I kidding, it's doubfut it'll make it to a sale."

lovely sweater
,PostedJuly 12, 2010
"This sweater is unique, soft, nice knit, and well-fitting. My usual size small was fine. I love the ivory color, the black shoulders, the subtle v-neck. The major draw is of course the bow embellishment, which is lovely and not overdone. My only complaint about it is that it's slightly scratchy in the area where the embellishment overlaps the neckline just a tad. The cardigan looks nice buttoned up all the way or just at the top. It is versatile, but I think more for fall and winter than summer. I wish the price were a lower though."

Pretty, unique, subtle sequin detail
,PostedJuly 10, 2010
Pros: sophisticated
Cons: draws attention to bust area
"This is a very pretty sweater, with an interesting detail at the bust. I found this to be tts, despite previous reviewers - I am almost always a large in Anthro sweaters, and this is no exception. I think the sequin bow detail is beautiful, not super shiny and just subtle enough. The black detail at the shoulder is also very flattering and sophisticated. However, I'm not crazy about tops that draw too much attention to the center of my chest. I may re-consider if it goes on sale."

Very original and vintage
,PostedJuly 10, 2010
Pros: very cute!
Cons: price
"I saw this sweater many times online and at the store but I always just passed by it not even trying it on. It was cute but I didn't think this type of design would look good on me so I've been ignoring it until I had to make an exchange for something. I tried this on for the heck of it and omg unlike how it's seen laid out in the store, it looks SO much better in person and unlike my expectation on how it'd look on me, rather it looked SO cute and authentic! I'm in love with this sweater. It goes with just about anything in my wardrobe and this simple sweater makes me so stylish~ Can be worn casually and dressed up. I wear it with bubble skirts."

Unique sweater, runs short
,PostedJuly 9, 2010
Pros: soft pretty design
Cons: runs a bit small, too highly priced
"This is a very pretty sweater, and feels soft & good quality. I would recommend sizing up one size, however. I am normally an XS or S in Anthro/Moth sweaters, but the M was the best fit for me in this sweater. It was a good length and all the buttons were buttoned without pulling. I think it's a little on the expensive side, but hope to pick it up when it goes on sale!"

"This is a really pretty and unique sweater. The design is well done. The fit is snug-if I do buy this sweater, I am going to size up-just for more length and bust room. Very soft knit and the sequins are subtle."

"I love this cardigan, its a little on the fancy side but will go with so much casual or dress. I found it to run a little on the short side so you might want to size up just for a little more comfort. It felt really nice too - not scratchy. And I think it will look fine if it is left open, not buttoned up."

beautiful cardigan
,PostedJune 30, 2010
Pros: cute bow very unique comfy soft
Cons: button issue
"I saw this online the other day and was immediately in love, and when i saw it in person i was not disappointed. Very retro looking cardigan and very well made. As the previous reviewer said, the bow is big, but very subtle and not too empowering. It's very soft and comfy and TTS ( i'm 5'2, 127ish and 34D). The M fit me good; however, i was unable to button the last two buttons without it looking a little forced. It's not a big deal for me since i usually don't button my cardigans all the way. Very unique and gorgeous cardigan, despite the button issue."

"This sweater immediately caught my eye in the store. I love bows, and this one is beautifully done. It's big but subtle, since it's the same color as most of the sweater. The bow itself is made of a soft, fuzzy material, and is covered in gold sequins. The zigzag on the back is also cute. BUT, I didn't love the fit of the cardigan. Because the bow is so great, I'd want to wear it buttoned, but it gaped a bit under the arms, and I found that I kept pulling it down in the dressing room (and at 5'1 XS that shouldn't happen so quickly!). It's not that it was horribly short, something about it just wasn't that great when it was actually on. Love the design though."
