This ugly Christmas sweater is actually a sweatshirt. Still comfy and warm. I was afraid the snow ball pom poms would be flimsy but they held up through one washing (I put it in a netted bag just in case) and two days of wear. After that, I washed it again in the netted bag but noticed 4 poms poms were hanging on by a few threads. Got my hubs to sew them back on tighter so it's ready for next year. One reason why it does not get 5 stars is the size. I'm a petite 5' 1" woman and this was just a little big on me. I'm typically a size XS or S. So if you are a more average or larger size person, it may not fit. Medium might be tight and sleeves may be too short. t's too bad they don't come in a more sizes. Otherwise, it's really cute and fun to wear especially if you're a size XS or S.
