How to Measure

BUST

Wrap a soft measuring tape under your arms and around the fullest part of your chest. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.

Pro Tip: Keep your favorite undergarment on while you measure to get the most accurate number.

NATURAL WAIST

Stand up straight and relax your stomach, then wrap a soft measuring tape at the midway point between the bottom of your ribcage and your hip bone. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.

HIP

Stand with your feet hips width distance and flat, then wrap a soft measuring tape around the widest point of your hip.

Pro Tip: Sitting down while you take this measurement ensures accuracy and provides added comfort for the best fit.

INSEAM

Use a soft measuring tape to measure from the highest point of your inner thigh to the bottom of where the pant will hit. For instance, if the inseam is 27”, you’ll measure 27” down.

Pro Tip: Measuring with shoes on lets you see the full picture and ensures your pants fall exactly where you want them.

Reviews

Beautiful cotton knit

"I love both the MONTECITO sweater and cardigan styles. It does run large, I ordered a small and I love how it fits but I am a medium in most everything else from F&E."

— Lori W. (5/5)

Moral to the story. . .

"I'd posted a previous review that the Montecito cardigan style wasn't for me, but I was still obsessed with the beautiful Coast color. I decided to give it one more try and this time, I went a size larger. It made all the difference and completely changed the fit to what I was originally hoping for. Moral to the story. . . if you think a style doesn't work, maybe try a different size! I am in love with my cardigan and am now planning to buy another."

— Gwynn (5/5)

The new ones fit different

"I have the navy blue from last year in a small and I LOVE it- just ordered the off white one. . however it fits and falls differently. It’s longer and more like a “usual” cardigan. My navy was just more chic. Sadly will be returning. Still beautiful though"

— Aine (3/5)

This sweater is amazing

"Yes, it's expensive. Nonetheless, I'm already thinking about another one. It's that great. It's got some bulk, so don't look for it to be slimming or form fitting. If you want comfort, luxury, and a cozy, put together look, this is for you. Could not love it more."

— Stacey A. (5/5)

Such a beautiful quality sweater.

"Such a beautiful quality sweater. I expect to wear this timeless sweater for many years."

— Cristi C. (5/5)

LOVEEE

"Such amazing quality! I am excited to wear this for many years. It is more of a boxy fit, but if you get the right size, it looks so good paired with anything!"

— ALYSSA W. (5/5)

I can’t love this enough.

"I wear it ALL the time and that is no exaggeration. It is easy to match, just perfect for a summer evening. You hit it out of the park!"

— Sarah E. (5/5)

Montecito Blueberry Cardigan

"A fantastic purchase, I love the colours and the quality of the cotton. I feel we will be together for a long time. I just would prefer the sleeves a little wider."

— Lisa P. (5/5)

Perfect polished casual jacket

"I love this piece - not cheap but I am hoping it will last. It’s flattering, being loose enough to be comfortable but still has a polished look. I don’t know how it will hold up over time but so far I am super happy with it."

— Filomena L. (5/5)

NICE

"色がかわいい！ ほどよい厚み。"

— TOSHIE N. (5/5)
