I live where it is cold weather 6 months out of the year. This is a nice quality cotton sweater which can be worn in Spring, Fall and Winter. I'm 5'5" and 133 lbs. I ordered the size medium. It's not fitted nor loose or baggy. I've laundered it twice in a cold wash and put it in the dryer for 15 minutes and then allowed it to dry on a drying rack. Very minimal shrinking and color stays true. Very pleased.
