I loved these sweaters at first sight and knew they'd be a great addition to my wardrobe. It's offered in a great variety of colors that would suit many skin tones. I ordered all of them. Upon arrival, I noticed a couple of things and thought I'd share: 1) There may be variation in sizing. I exclu...sively wear XXS or XS in BR Factory. I ordered all in XS snd 3 of the colors fit me a little more snugly (still relaxed but not as much so) than pictured on the model. For me, it wasn't enough to make an exchange but something to note in case you're looking for a looser/more relaxed fit. The black color, however, ran at least 1-1.5 sizes bigger than the other colors and was a much more relaxed/loose fit on me. 2) The sweaters are a lightweight, thin material. Since it's 100% merino wool, it should still offer some warmth and serve as a nice layering piece but won't be a substantial or thick sweater, if that's what you're looking for. The black, navy and burgundy shades are not sheer at all. The cream shade is fine for me with a skin toned colored bra, however, if you're wearing darker colored bottoms (i.e. pants or a skirt) you may be able to see the color through the hem of the sweater. Overall, I would recommend these sweaters and would definitely repurchase if it became available in additional colors.
I would give the sweater 5 stars. Loved the fit and was so glad I got it in 2 colors. Then I realized one sweater had a cut on both sides, like it had been sliced with a knife. Bummer. Couple days later I decided to examine the black sweater closer, sure enough, a slice on the front only. Sen...ding both back. Next I inspected the chiffon skirt. It had a small slit on the front and back also. I love the skirt so much and it is almost impossible to to see so I am keeping it. The package was a plastic bag and no damage on the outside. I opened the package from the top so it seems it was shipped that way with damage to all three items.

I was excited to get this sweater, it's beautiful, comfortable, and it fit really well! HOWEVER, after only ONE wash it came out with MULTIPLE holes and was completely unwearable. Not holes in the seams that could be mended, but holes in the middle of the fabric. There was probably 5-7 holes that I found.

After 1 wear this sweater snagged a hole and had to be thrown away. Not worth the price.

Purchased and have worn this item only two times, it has already torn at one of the seams along my waistline. It is a beautiful sweater but will not last the entire winter season.

This sweater is DELICATE. Be VERY careful when washing or wearing as it can snag and/or tear easily. I had one rip a hole in the washer on the hand wash cycle and one snag on a fingernail. Overall I'm not sure I have the patience to own these sweaters. They also attract every piece of lint so if you own pets beware.

Was really excited about this sweater however they shipped it using a fraudulent shipping company (Ontrac) which is known for stealing and losing packages. If you research them online there was one delivery driver responsible for stealing over 3000 packages. Banana Republic customer service has not been helpful so far. If you try to reach out to get a refund or replacement of these items they will continuously tell you to wait 24 hours. The last time I spoke with them my package had been out for delivery for 6 days and I was told to wait 4 MORE days before they would even let me file a claim. Now my package has been marked as delivered (it was apparently """""delivered"""" at 11:31 PM at night. And of course. Obviously it was NOT DELIVERED. just so impossibly frustrated. wanting to warn others as well. thank you
