Lightweight & good price for quality
Size: Medium, Color: Camel Heather
Lightweight as other reviewers noted. I purchased camel color & oatmeal heather color for travelling on long plane ride while wearing with leggings. Ribbed cuffs and hem, which I like. V neck just right on me. Cotton blend knit, good. Color as expected. Sleeves long enough (yay!) Probably will pill eventually, but I'm not worried about it at the moment. Doesn't look cheap, which is nice for inexpensive top. I don't wear leggings a lot, so I don't think these will get lots of use, so until they start looking pilly I'll use them when I need to. I'm 5'7" & weigh 115 lbs, 34 A, and 37 hip. Size small in both colors draped perfectly, looser fit style, not clingy or tight around the bum, which is what I wanted. It doesn't look baggy or boxy on me, but I'm relatively slim so it may not fit as I've described for those with bigger bustline and/or waistline measurements and/or tummy. I think it is flattering on me, so I'm keeping them. I would say the size S it runs slightly big for my body type if that helps. Everyone is different even when we wear the same size! After reading reviews I purchased S and M sizes. I returned the mediums as they'd be way to baggy on me and too big across the shoulders.

Fantastic Sweater for the Price!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Charcoal Heather, Size: XX-Large, Color: Charcoal Heather
I'll admit it, I was VERY skeptical about buying an Amazon Basics Sweater. I was sure the sizing or material or something would have to be off as the sweater was very reasonably priced. I was very happily proven wrong.
This sweater is great. It's a v-neck, the most flattering fit for me and the v is not so deep as to be indecent, I can wear it easily and comfortably to work without a camisole underneath - even as a rather busty gal. The material is nice and soft. It's not cashmere soft, but it feels much better than a $20 sweater. It also washes pretty well, I've washed my sweater a few times and have had no shrinkage. I don't tend to put sweaters in the dryer, I air dry them - so that probably helps as well. After 2 or 3 washes, there is a slight amount of pilling underneath the arms where the sweater rubs against itself, but not a large or greatly noticeable amount.
The sweater is also pretty long. I'm not sure I'd wear it as a tunic (with leggings), but I do wear it with skinny jeans comfortably and don't worry about it riding up in the back.
I found it to be true to size. It's meant to fit a little looser and I like that. It's a great comfy sweater and I get a lot of compliments on it. This is a great value for the price - I will definitely try other Amazon Essentials. I own it in three colors (and counting).
Update a year later - I just purchased 3 more of these sweaters for the upcoming winter. They are some of my absolute favorites. They are flattering even if you have a bit of tummy and not too heavy. These have withheld multiple washing with minimal beading (or whatever you call it when the little fuzzy balls appear at the high friction points). I have done some shaving on the sweater and I'm pretty fastidious about washing them on gentle and letting them air dry (like I do with most of my sweaters).

Color not as pictured.
Size: Medium, Color: Dark Green
The color was not the same as picture. I was hoping for a nice jewel tone true green, but it is more of a light green.
I still love the fit of it, and the color isnt ideal for me, but it isn't horrible. If I decide I really hate the color, it'll look great on my mom.

Great bang for your buck!
Size: Medium, Color: Green
The price point on these Amazon sweaters is fantastic! Great quality, great length for us taller women (I'm 5'8) and they have held up to plenty of washing and drying. Love the variety of colors available. Can easily be dressed up or down. They are a little thin, but not sheer. Perfect for packing on a trip because they take up minimal space. The perfect year around sweater for any season.
