This open front poncho sweater comes in one size with a loose, flowing drape. It is a double knit in viscose, polyester and polyamide, and the listing points to chilly evenings, cool indoor rooms, cruises and packing for a trip.

The shape is a wrap poncho with an open front. The listing gives the drape as 29.5 inches at the back and 31.5 inches at the front, and it is sold in one size. The model is listed as 5 feet 7 inches and 114 lbs. The listing says it runs loose, and adds that anyone under 5 feet 4 inches, or anyone who prefers a standard fit, should keep that in mind. There is also a tab, so the other end of the wrap can be pulled through it, or you can leave it hanging open as a shawl.

The fabric is 50% viscose, 28% polyester and 22% polyamide, made as a double knit. The listing calls double knit thick, stiff, smooth and stretchy, and says that makes it wrinkle resistant, which is why it suggests it for packing. Care instructions say hand wash. The item is imported. The listing does not state a weight in ounces, a sleeve length or a color code, so check the product page for the color you want.

On styling, the listing suggests wearing it over a light long sleeve shirt for extra warmth, with jeans and boots, or over a long dress for an evening out or a wedding party. It also mentions using it in place of a blanket when traveling, on a cruise, or in an office that runs cool. Whether the drape suits you is a matter of taste. The measurements are the part you can check.
