I had high hopes for this tunic, but when I received it in the mail, it was huge. I am normally a small and ordered an XS and it's still large. Also, I feel like the wide stripes accentuate my mid section and make me look bigger. But, the sweater is really cute and soft; and I like the pink pattern. I am undecided if I am going to return or keep it.
If you have hips you will probably want to try this on before buying...it was not flattering on at all and the fit was just not quite right. I am normally between a M and L and I tried both but neither worked. That said, it was soft and the colors were pretty but I ultimately had to pass on this one.

Soft and comfy!
This sweater is so soft and even though it's a little boxy, it's really comfortable. I have not washed it yet, but it's a favorite with leggings.
I fell in love with this online and sought it out in store to try on, since I am between XS/S in LTD's tops. I am glad I did, because with the relaxed fit of this piece, the small was huge! I do like the fit of the XS with skinny jeans or leggins to balance, but it's definitely a loose/roomy look. The SA tried to belt it at the store, but I think a belt just does not work with this sweater. I also found that it pills easily and often, and if you pull a thread in the fair isle, it is almost impossible to fix. Also, as another reviewer stated, it does seem to stretch noticeably with wear (even though it's loose!). I'm still glad I bought it though, and if you are curvy enough for one of the sizes to "fit" you more, I bet this would look fantastic. Both colors available are lovely.

Cute but....
The sweater is beautiful and comfy and looks great with leggings and boots but I agree with some of the other comments. The mid section is really loose and makes you look bigger in the middle. Also, after one day of wear I did notice how stretched out the bottom was. I usually always wear a med. in Limited clothing but I wished I would of gotten a small (already took the tags off so I can't exchange#. Luckily I got a really good deal on it #50% and used $20 off coupon so it was only $14.95!). I am hoping that it will shrink up when I throw it in the dryer.
Got this in size small for very slim daughter. Looks great with leggings and boots. Would not work on top heavy gals. The fit is very slim.

Baggy for a Pear Shape
I ordered an XS in blue and because I have wide hips it didn't achieve the tunic look. It looked baggy in the mid section which someone with slim hips could pull off, but when you are wide on the bottom you end up looking much larger than your size with wide hips and a sweater that goes out rather than curving in at the waist. The sweater is very good quality and I wanted to keep it, but it was not flattering on my body type. (5'8, 150lbs, pear shape)

cute sweater
This is a cute sweater. 3/4 sleeve makes it possible for me to wear 3 seasons - I just add a jacket for really cold days. I can't wear long sleeves in Spring & Fall. Thank you for the 3/4 sleeve - I have jackets I can add but I can't take away when it's too warm.
I love it each year the Limited brings out with these kinds of tunic sweaters. I put a co- ordinating tee or turtleneck undernieth and were leggins, It is a great look, at boots or flats and ready for a cosy day ! We live in Illinois and with it is plenty warm. Washes well on delicates and hand dry.
not bad at buy one get one free plus $15 off coupon...but really? priced at $69.95 I'd expect so much better...already stretched at the bottom after one wear; collar too wide and sleeves should not be 3/4..should be long for winter. i froze my neck and arms all darned day...but it's a great tunic length for leggings. nice color, the right amt of wool i think too...
