I should have known with the combined sizing, but this is very wide, even in the xs/sm. it's a beautiful sweater, a thicker gauge of yarn than it appears to have, and the pointelle "holes" are also larger than they appear. it is fairly itchy if you don't mind that. just way too big for my small frame--almost falling of the shoulders, which is not the look i was going for. if you want a wide and boxy look, or have a larger frame, this could be great for you. it is pretty and quite unique.
