This sweater is just as pictured but quite warm and comfortable. It is very soft and so far there has been no shrinkage or piling. I wash it on cold in a net bag and dry on a rack. The length is just above the waist depending on your size. This sweater fits me perfectly and I often wear an XS, 5'5" and 113 lb. I like this sweater so much that I got one in a different color.
