Sometimes sweaters with cute prints like this are acrylic and it feels terrible but this? Cute and comfortable. I ordered the cat faces one and it was a hit when I wore it to work. People stopped me to see the print. 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
