Comments about Ibex Merino Kurta:
I've been complaining that many Ibex styles are not cut big enough and the styles in XL are less than ideal. So when I read the reviews I was optimistic that this sweater might flatter my curves. YEAH! Now I'm just waiting for some cool crisp new england fall weather. Great color (purple) nice collar (don't like turtle necks) great length. Keeps me coming back for more.

Comments about Ibex Merino Kurta:
The material is wonderful. It really is a quality product, very soft and stylish. Unfortunately, the sizing was too large. I'm new to ordering Ibex clothing, and found that although normally I would fall into the W's medium category, I am a small in Ibex, and for this particular product, even the small was too large! If I were hippy, then perhaps the small would have been a good fit???

Comments about Ibex Merino Kurta:
After reading some of the reviews, I decided on ordering the medium. The cut is odd - the upper half was tight (the cap sleeves and across the chest) while really wide at the hips. Really wanted it to work but sadly it will have to go back.

Comments about Ibex Merino Kurta:
My girlfriend purchased this piece, and found that the proportions of the design just weren't right for her petite frame. It had all the customary Ibex quality, but just wasn't a fit for her (in her words "it was enormous" at a Medium).

I have a curvy shape and the kurta fits perfectly. Figure skimming but not clingy. Beautiful knit. Warm and breathable. Perfect for 3 season wear when temp drops..

Comments about Ibex Merino Kurta:
This is such a pretty garment especially the color. I had my eye on it since the fall and finally bought it when it went on sale. Unfortunately it was very unflattering. Specifically, the bottom bells out from the waist down. I think if this sweater were redesigned with a straighter shape it would be gorgeous.

Comments about Ibex Merino Kurta:
I love my new Merino Kurta sweater. It is very stylish, warm and comfortable. I wore it to work with a black turtle neck underneath and an interesting pin and got many compliments. I love the beautiful purple color and the side zipper. Really different. People always say "where did you get that" when I wear my Ibex clothes. Only negative was that the medium was on the snug side on me with the turtle neck underneath and the large was way too big.

Comments about Ibex Merino Kurta:
The purple is a beautiful color (not overly bright), incredibly soft and non-itchy, stylish over a long sleeve tshirt (or woolie) with skinny jeans or a skirt.
Nice long length hides my gut, and will also keep me covered in back (on my bike). Love that the neck is so soft and can be worn up or down (for wind protection).
The only thing I dont love is that it is cut too big around around the waist & hips. I am 5'7 or 5'8", 135-40 pounds, with wide-ish hips and narrow shoulders, and the small was unflattering baggy in the bottom 1/3. I will give the extra-small a try, but looking again at the photo, I now realize that it looks VERY a-line/curvy.

Comments about Ibex Merino Kurta:
I got the purple color and it is gorgeous. The sweater looks great with a pair of jeans or loose fitting tights. I have many months of cold weather where I live, so it is always nice to find a new style of sweater to wear. Very soft and comfortable! My only concern is the weird smell of the sweater. I think it is from the dye used; however, it did get made in China.

Comments about Ibex Merino Kurta:
It is super comfy but also stylish. I was worried about how the cut would look on me, but it's well made and looks great. The wool is a nice medium weight. I can wear it to work or dress it up to go out at night. I have nothing bad to say about this product.
