I was surprised by the sizing. I would recommend choosing your actual sizing because of the eventual shrinkage, if you want the slouch off shoulders look. I picked the smallest size because I am a Medium. The opening come as a straight line to my neck. I cannot slosh it on my shoulders. However, this is no problem. The quality of the knit is soft out of the bag. It is comfortably large. It has a cute design that cannot pass for a traditional "ugly" Christmas sweater.
