please see the pictures for length and width measurements. The cardigan hangs a little longer in the front and was not designed with any closures it is an open front cardigan. The size is 14/16 and is by Lane Bryant. as it is a crocheted looking acrylic material I do not see any poles or damage after inspecting the item. I've wanted a few times it's very comfortable and cozy in the winter. works is a great topper.
