Reviews: Curl & Twirl Sweater


The Curl & Twirl Sweater ($88) by Moth caught my eye with the curly-q neckline embellishment. It was available in both Ivory and Green at my local Anthropologie. I was a little worried that there are a few twirls with cutouts but decided it warranted a try-on.

I found this sweater to be true to size (medium for me). The Curl & Twirl Sweater is a cotton/nylon mix and has a medium-weight feel. I immediately disliked the ivory because it made me look very washed out. The green however was very nice! To me the color seemed closer to aqua than green. The sweater hit me mid-hip, right at the top of my Gap Long & Lean jeans. The low-cut neckline wasn’t too revealing but because of the twirl cutout right over my chest I would probably wear a cami under this sweater for work. The shoulders weren’t too floofy, which is sometimes an issue with flutter sleeves for me.


I was also pleasantly surprised when I turned around. I love that the curls and twirls continue on the back and I think this top would make a lovely spring date top! It wasn’t so dressy though that I’d be afraid to wear it with chinos or shorts. I’ll probably pair this with a skirt once I buy it, but for now to the Wishlist it goes!

    The top's gorgeous!I envy you though on being able to wear low-neckline tops. My girls are high-set, so a top like this makes me look too floozy-ish for good taste- nothing deeper than the top of my sternum for me.

    The detailing behind the neck is nice. I would like to take a look at the color in person – looks really minty green.

    I has purchased this shirt a while back in the green color. I really liked the detailing but had to return the shirt because the size L I got was a bit snug. It's weird because sometime sI wear a L in Moth, sometimes an XL. In any case, I am watching for this one to go on sale so I can swoop it up in the right size!
