Promising review: "This sweater was even cuter in person, and it's comfortable to wear without something underneath because it's cotton. Sometimes sweaters with cute prints like this are acrylic and it feels terrible but this? Cute and comfortable. I ordered the cat faces sweater and it was a hit when I wore it to work. People stopped me to see the print in fact. It's a nice, long and roomy sweater which is how I like them. I'm considering ordering the second cat sweater because it is just so cute and comfy." —Larissa

This sweater is incredibly soft and stretchy and comfortable. It does run slightly large in my opinion, however, I wouldn't order a size down. This has been washed several times since I ordered it and I am impressed with how it's held up. 10/10 would recommend to a friend! Great value for the money spent." —Elizabeth
