So my number of stars conflicts with the title of this review for one reason alone, my body shape just doesn't look good in this cropped style. I was deluded into remembering how great crops looked on me in the 80's! Now at almost 50 yrs old, my midsection is not an area to be highlighted. Otherwise, excellent quality, lovely color, great added details . . . oh to be young again.

Cute cropped sweater. Looks nice over a dress, with a skirt or jeans.

This is the 2nd cropped cardi I have ordered this season because I loved my first one so much! It is versitile & goes with my dresses as well as jeans. The sweater washes well, & then just hang to dry. I would recommend buttoning up the cardi before washing. The knit is soft & comfy and the elastic at the sleeves & waist doesn't stretch out. I wish the sweater didn't look quite so wrinkled after each wear, therefore the 4 instead of 5 stars. But it is worth it to wash it up so it can be worn fresh again. The colors are vibrant & the sweater gives just enough warmth on cool days. Wonderful!

Too cropped in my opinion. Looked odd, so I'm returning.

I am going to use this over a summer sundress. The color and style are perfect.

The one problem is the darker purple ribbing on sleeve. It's tight.

But I love it and will keep it

When this sweater arrived, I thought it was something I had ordered for my four year old daughter. It is so tiny, even in a 10! Had to send back.

I was disappointed to receive these sweaters and discover the contrasting trim that wasn't fully evident in the product photos online. The grey could have been a great workhorse neutral sweater, but the pale pink trim doesn't work for me at all. I will return it. The crocus with dark purple trim is better, and I will keep it. The length is okay, but the cut isn't great: even though the sweater is not tight, the buttons do pull across my chest. The contrasting ribbon under the buttons makes that gaping even more obvious.

I wanted a cropped sweater to throw on with summer outfits. I love the contrast ribbon placket and hint of color in the knit ribbing at waist and cuffs. The knit is a very fine gauge and quite smooth and soft. Would love to have another in a different color.

Cutest little cardigan. I can wear it to work with a casual dress or at home with jeans! Love the Crocus color!

I love this sweater. It's the perfect weight for spring/summer. The length works very well with dresses. It's soft and has been durable so far. And kudos to Boden - it had been backordered, but it arrived a few weeks earlier than I was expecting. I am very happy all around with this cardigan.
