How do Aran Craft sweaters run small or large?

The descriptions of the aran craft sweaters state they are not QVC sizes, but aran craft size. When I click on the size info it is just full of numbers that I do not understand. I need to know waist and hip and chest.

Go down a size. I'm a 3x normally, their 2x fits me perfectly.

I find their women's sweaters fit true to size, but if they are unisex size down.

Yep, on both points.

They are huge on me, even when I've purchased an xxs. I wear a 2 petite. I did find one that fit me but I do not have the item number. It was a more fitted style with 3/4 sleeves. Love it.

I would agree.

For a true petite, sleeves would always be too long.

I have 2 Aran sweaters from the Q; 1 is a mid-thigh-length cable merino sweater with buttons, and the 2nd is a very long merino sweater coat (don't think they sell that anymore). IMO they run very big, and like others said for a petite the sleeves are too long. I ordered an XS for both and they are very cozy/warm in the winter, but very big.

I am a 4p I suspect then that unless it is a 3/4ths inch sleeve it will not fit then. Bummer. It is such a pain to be so short I hate it.

I found the same thing, too.
