I really love this ribbed sweater! It's well made and great fabric, the quality is fantastic! It looks better than the picture, such a beautiful dark purple color. There was no smells, not odors and the fabric is think, perfect for cool to cold days in the fall to late spring, the fit was true to size, it comes a little bit past my waist which gave me the choice to wear it outside of my pants and or skirts with a thin belt. There are little black shinny rhinestone pieces on the tie and on the knit collar going around the neck...This sweater is a gem piece especially for the winter fall holidays and special events. I recommend this knit top.
