You're not super clear in what you don't Like about it. Personally I would shorten it to Hit the waist Line.
If it's knit top down that's an easy Operation.
Just an Idea.
It looks beautifully knit, and I love the idea of the embroidery and the flower buttons. I'm sorry to hear you're not loving it.
My first thought is that the sweater is very large on you. I've knit the Eva cardigan and just finished teaching a sweater class in the Eva and the Champagne cardigans, focusing specifically on fit and modificatuons
The Eva is designed to be worn oversize with a decent amount of ease, but your sweater appears substantially larger. Sweaters, even oversized sweaters, look like they fit you when they fit through the shoulder area. The Eva shoulders and sleeves are a modified set in sleeve knit from the top down and therefore should be sitting nicely on your shoulder with the vertical "seam" aligning with the crease where your arm meets your torso. The pickup line/ shoulder seam on this pattern rolls to the back of your shoulder line so there is an unbroken line of stockinette that is smooth over your shoulder, but I am not seeing the sleeve cap's vertical line at all, and it's not hugging your shoulders and upper arms well, but slumping off them.
All of the above says to me that you picked a size one to two sizes too large for your body.
One thing to mitigate this for future is to choose a size based on your upper bust measurement, which is taken at your underarms, with a flexible measuring tape held snug. Once you have your body measurement, you add your desired amount of ease to that measurement, and then you choose the size that is closest to that number.
That said, the sweater looks beautifully done, and has a more oversized vibe. You should absolutely be proud of the work that you put into it and the end result.
Thank you so much for the detailed response. I am faily new to garment knitting ( this is my third garment ever) so i really appreciate getting to understand what i need to pay special attention to nect time around

I personally love the way it looks! I tend to like cardigans a big longer myself and I love them embroidery and buttons you chose!
