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

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)

the Coast color is gorgeous

"The Montecito cardigan style doesn't work for me, but that doesn't mean it's not still a beautifully made sweater. The Coast color is absolutely gorgeous and flattering. I find it fits TTS. Please make this color in the Montecito vest!"

Gwynn (4/5)

Firecracker love!

"Ordered it sight unseen at an F&E trunk show & just love it. Will never approach anything like your lovely model in it but I do feel beautiful wearing it. There is a black fleck in this piece which gives it wonderful depth and texture. Do not be afraid to size down, the sweater grows a bit as you wear it. I am 145 lbs. and an XS is still comfortably roomy on me."

Lisa S. (5/5)

Step Above Cozy

"Love this sweater! Thicker than I expected. Boxy, but hangs nicely. Sleeves are more snug than expected with perfect length. Coastal is an interesting blend of white and blues. Great over a white T-shirt. Can dress up or down. Super practical for spring and cool summer evenings. Will get a lot of use. For reference I’m a slender 5’7” with a long waist. Small is perfect."

Shirley O. (5/5)

Beautiful sweater

"I was hesitant to purchase, I have 2 mini cotswolds sweaters and the sleeves are long and have to be rolled up. Love the fit of the sleeves on this sweater and I do not find this sweater oversized. I wear a large in the Eileen and Oona. I am a pear shape and like loose comfortable clothes. Wore this sweater with the Eileen blue and red floral liberty shirt."

Janet M. (5/5)

I LOVE this cardigan!

"‘Firecracker’ is a perfect description of the colour. I can wear it through all 4 seasons. I have the white as well and it is so easy to dress up or down"

Ellen M. (5/5)

Beautiful cardigan!

"I have purchased this in both black and white. Unfortunately, in Southern California, we have had extremely unseasonably warm weather and I have not had the opportunity to wear either one yet. But, I know they will become a staple. I’m quite happy with both."

Patricia R. (5/5)

Had to return

"I returned it. Way too big and boxy. And, very expensive."

Catherine B. (2/5)

Beautiful cardigan

"This is a lovely cardigan, not as heavy as I was concerned it might be and very wearable here in FL in the cooler months. I love the seam on the top of the arm and it drapes well. Im short legged and kind of boxy, and although the size is correct something about the cut (quite roomy thru the torso) emphasizes this"

Montecito

"The sweater is even better in person than the photo! It drapes perfectly and looks cute alone or over a tank or button down. I love it."
