I wanted to love this sweater and thought the smell would go away after being washed. But no, the smell is still pungent after washing and unfortunately there is no longer any discernible shape to the sweater. I washed in on delicate cycle in a front load washer in a laundry sack because the construction seemed fragile. Unfortunately, when I requested a return it was rejected likely because the item was worn and tags removed which is the only way I could know it was smelly and the shape didn’t hold up to even one wash cycle. And the size is big and small at the same time - very short sleeves and waist yet unusually wide. So I checked the box that said the fit was small but that doesn’t really tell the whole story.
