Just received my squirrel sweater (with leaves on the arms) and it's really beautiful! The colours are amazing and it's very soft. Not too heavy, but a double knit so it's warm. I based my size choice on the chart and got the 2xl because it says it's equivalent to a 14. I think it's closer to a 16. It's also very long and comes almost to the bottom of my butt. I can pull it up a bit and I'll keep it because the cost of returning isn't worth it and I otherwise love it. I will order again, but after looking at the chart again, I used a measuring tape to measure a sweater I have that fits me well and will go for the XL (12) this time. It will still probably be too long, but I'll choose a design that is ok if I pull it up a bit. Pay attention and go that extra step to measure something you own. The sweater I ordered measures exactly to the chart, if I had checked the measurements, I would have ordered an xl to start with.
