What reviewers say
Reformation Bernadette Polka Dot Wool Cardigan
Reformation knitwear generally draws praise for softness and a flattering cut, with the Bernadette cardigan noted for its cropped fit and print. Common complaints center on wool itch and the dry-clean requirement.
- Soft, lightweight feel for a wool knit
- Cropped fit works well with high-waisted bottoms
- Print looks more polished in person than in photos
- Some find the wool scratchy against skin
- Dry clean only adds upkeep cost
- Cropped length runs short on taller wearers
Ganni Polka Dot Cardigan
Owner feedback on Ganni's brushed alpaca cardigans is generally positive on softness and print, with recurring notes on pilling and careful care.
Questions and answers
- Which is warmer, the Reformation or the Ganni cardigan?
- The Ganni has a brushed alpaca blend, which traps more air and feels warmer for its weight. The Reformation is a lightweight, stretchy wool knit, so it suits layering in milder weather.
- Is the Ganni worth the extra $117?
- Only if you want the alpaca softness, the V-neck and the logo buttons. If you just want a polka-dot wool cardigan, the Reformation at $120.00 does the job for less.
- Which one is easier to care for?
- The Ganni is hand wash. The Reformation is dry clean only, so it costs more to maintain over time.
- Which fits better for layering?
- The Ganni's V-neck and regular fit layer cleanly over a shirt. The Reformation's cropped, relaxed fit works best as an outer layer over a tee or high-waisted bottoms.
- Do both run true to size?
- The Reformation is labeled a relaxed fit and the Ganni a regular fit, with the retailer calling it relaxed. Check each store's size chart before ordering, since the two run differently.
- Are both real wool?
- The Reformation is 100% wool. The Ganni is 50% alpaca, 28% polyamide and 22% wool, so it is a blend, not pure wool.
