Exactly solved my [痛点2] — needing a polished yet warm top for teacher-parent conferences This sweater looks professional with slacks but feels like a hug The authentic fabric drapes beautifully and the warmth lets me skip the blazer without sacrificing authority
Leti*********y MD
Got mine in charcoal and it faded noticeably after one gentle wash The warmth is real but the colorfastness issue makes me hesitant to recommend especially since the listing promised authentic fabric durability

Wore this to my sister’s outdoor fall wedding and stayed perfectly warm even when the sun went down The authentic fabric breathes just enough so I didn’t overheat while dancing and the warmth held steady all night
Mrs.*********gand
Nice weight and warmth but the sleeves are a bit long for my frame I rolled them and it worked fine Still very comfortable and the fabric feels premium just wish the armhole depth was slightly deeper

Solved my [痛点1] — constant cold shoulders during video calls This sweater’s high neckline and dense knit keep me warm without looking bulky on camera Love the authentic fabric texture too it photographs beautifully
Mrs. Ra**************ank DDS
Very warm and cozy — great for layering under my winter coat The fit runs slightly generous so I sized down which worked perfectly It’s not *quite* as soft as the product photos suggested but still comfortable for all-day wear
Kel*******ner
Finally a sweater that doesn’t pill after two washes The authentic fabric has held up beautifully in the dryer and stays soft even after repeated wear Perfect for my remote work days when comfort and polish both matter
Orph********son
This Alice Sweater is exactly what I needed for chilly Midwest mornings — the authentic fabric feels luxe against my skin and holds warmth without bulk I wore it three days straight and still looked put-together
