So i have spent the last 2 years sizing down my wardrobe and myself (lost 65 lbs). I am 6', 167lbs and have decided to get a couple of cardigans. I prefer not to wear button cardigans (all the women in my office wear button cardigans just about every day, so I wanted something a little different).

Anyway, I usually size down on some brands from medium, b/c they always fit larger than the tag, and did so on the dark gray cardigan. I am thinking it is a little small however. It is pretty tight in the sleeves worn over a dress & undershirt, however, I did get these to wear under blazers occasionally.

The lighter gray is a medium (different brand) and seems to fit a lot more comfortably, but just wanted to see if everyone thought the dark gray one was too small, light gray too big, both too small, both acceptable, etc?

Thanks!

Looks fine but I have several and zippered cardigans MUST have double zippers or they won't look and fit right when you move pr sit.
