Wardrobe Must
5.7.2013
"Like my title says, you need this for your wardrobe! I got the small in the ivory and I wore it immediately. It is kind of expensive for what it is, but it's just so darn pretty!!!!! The material is thin, so you can get away with wearing it in hot weather, but it also kept me warm in the cold classrooms at college. Be careful with the sleeves... they are very thin and frayed (intentionally). I used clear nail polish to harden the thread so it wont come undone in the wash."

What a great suggestion! Every FP girl should have this as a staple in her wardrobe. You can use it all year long; and bonfire season is coming up :) This would be an very cute coverup for those evenings spent on the seashore.

"i received this as a gift and can't even express how much i love it. if you are considering getting it, just do it -- you will love it. the material is so thin and so soft.. i am about 5'7 and the sleeves come down over my wrists which i LOVE (size M). i also love how the back comes down a little lower than the front -- gives it an awesome hippie look. two thumbs way up :) :)"

My favorite cardi

"I loved the brown one so much that I bought the ivory one as well. This is by far the most comfortable and versatile FP item I own. You can wear it to the beach or to work. Fits perfectly and the extra long sleeves are awesome."

Great staple item
3.2.2013
"I bought the purple haze in my normal FP size which is M and it fits TTS. It has unfinished hems on sleeves and main hem, but this adds to the relaxed look. I like the purple so much that I bought the pale blue and taupe colours. It is a really comfy cardigan that can be worn with anything and I have been recently wearing it in the cold evenings done up over leggings. A great staple for all seasons. Get one before they sell out!!!"

"I have been ordering the peach heather color and i wasn't expecting such a bright peach. The picture shows a more pastel shade but it is nothing like it. It is still very pretty though but not what i was expecting."

"I found a soft neon yellow one a few months ago and have lived in it ever since! It's a great cover up over my pajamas in the morning or you could layer it with jeans and a tee for a daytime look. It's a little long but I'm only 5'2."

"I usually wear S, but when I buy long cardigans, I prefer the smaller size. So I bought a XS taupe one, and luckily it fits me well. The cardigan is very useful in spring & summer. It is soft, not tight but slim-looking, the pockets on it are fantastic! I love FP's details!"

So much to love...but overpriced
2.14.2013
"I love the color - Taupe. It was as I expected. I love the length, the style, how nicely it falls, the fit and the many different ways I can wear it - as a dress, layered over a bodycon, with jeans etc. The only thing I have to say which is negative is that it is definitley over priced for the quality of the fabric. Very cheap and thin material. It is the only complaint I have. I love everything else about it and would not hesitate to buy another one but only under the $50 price range. Arms are a bit tight and I wont be able to wear much more than a thin T-shirt underneath it. but that's Ok becauise the material is so thin that it really is not more than a summer or warm spring cover up. I got the M."

Fits great. not tight and not loose. This color will wear with everything and every weather! It's soft and very flattering, and truly unique. I'm a cardigan addict so I am so glad I ordered it and love it.! It's a great buy."

"What a Beautiful Maxi Cardigan... Fabric’s so soft and feminie. Great Length... looks just like the models pictured. I do get lots of compliments and friends asking me where I got it from.

Free People’s service is impeccable and my order arrived in just under two weeks...considering I live Down Under, I think that’s pretty speedy. Thank you Free People. Ox"

It's great!

"I got this in cherry; I usually wear an XS or S in free people (5'7, 130lbs 34-27-37) and ordered an XS in this. It fits really well, I put that it's a "little bit loose" because a small definitely would have been too big. I also washed and dried it on low and it kept its color and size. Definitely recommend! I've received a ton of compliments."

Very Comfortable & so Versatile!!
12.9.2012
"I am usually not a carigan person, at all, but this one is awesome!! I ordered this lovely Cardi in taupe last month.... I love the color, how it's so soft, and adore the draping pockets & high low unfinished hem. The best thing is that it is such a versatile piece: It can be worn open over your clothing, as a dress, with a waist belt, as well as under a sweater or vest. I am 5'6.5 33-24-35 111 lbs, and wear the XS. The waist is pretty loose, the sleeves are very fitted, and the color is true to the FP catalog images ... it actually fits me exactly like the model on the editorial beach photo. My favorite way to wear it is: as a dress with a faux fur vest, FP tall socks & boots. *see photos* My socks in the photo are the FP Speckled Spun Tall Sock in ivory."

great cardigan!

"Just bought this in peach heather and the color is just as pictured. I'm 5'8" and 140lbs and the small fits perfectly, even buttoned up all the way. Very versatile piece and good quality for the price. I would size down from your normal size just because there is so much material it is bound to fit and still be lose and just as long."
