It's super soft and I liked the colors but clearly it was a bit too large for me and it hung way low in the under arm. I just did a really simple resize by cutting off a couple of inches on each side and the underside of each sleeve.
I did not shorten the sleeves and they are still really long. And in the second picture they look bulkier than they really are due to the shadow from the camera flash - but they do bunch up unless I fold the cuff up. Also, I did not choose to do anything to bring the shoulder in. I don't mind that it is off the shoulder a bit.
I really like to wear longer shirts and it's nice to be able to have the length of an XL but custom fit the rest.

I also do this sew and cut thing on knits, and it often seems to really work. Wearing such a refashion now in fact.
Another great resize project. Thank you for sharing.

I never would have thought to do this but now I am totally going to have a closer look at XL large sweaters because I too love the length.
