Bought for a birthday party to wear with black jeans. I'm 44, 5"9 and a UK size 14.I ordered 14 & 16 just to make sure I had the option for both. I stuck with the 14 as there was plenty of room. Fitted well in the arm length, something I always struggle with. It also fitted well in the body. I have a tummy so I'm conscious of it when dressing up to go out. The cardigan reached my tummy and I didn't feel or look bloated or uncomfortable. I had some compliments on the cardigan too. Washes well also. Would recommend.
