I am 5’ 1. My weight ranges from 155-160 pounds. My bust is 42” (36 DD). My waist is 37” and my hips are 43". I have a short torso. I’m usually in between a size medium & large. I ordered this Gretchen in a size medium like I always have. This was my 9th Gretchen. However, it fits VERY big compared to my other 8 Gretchen sweaters. So big that at the bottom, near the calf area, there was at least a 6" difference from the other cardigans I've ordered. It was touching the floor. As much as I love my Gretchen's, this one made me look homeless. It gave me no kind of shape and looked like I was wearing a large blanket. I believe its a factory defect, or they mislabeled the size medium. I have submitted a request for an exchange 3 days ago. I am still waiting to receive a return label. Hopefully I can get that on Monday, when the ladies are back at work. On this same order, I also ordered the gray colored Gretchen, in the size medium. And the gray one was a phenomenal fit! PHENOMINAL!!! Its one of my fav's. So I don't know what happened here, with the brown one? The ByEgreis staff is outstanding though! Whenever I have an issue, either Megan or Santina help me rectify any issues I may have with my order. I love them! And I am very appreciative of their efforts.
