It took her a year to make. It's absolutely beautiful...but it makes me look about 20 pounds heavier. The only way I've been able to wear it successfully, is as a coat with a slim skirt, opaque tights, boots and of course a scarf. Such a shame!

This guide will help. One thing I have learned is not to buy a chunky sweater with a hood. It's just too much! Now, about the 3/4 arm length on sweaters. If it's cold enough to be wearing a sweater, a 3/4 length leaves my arms cold. I like to layer the 3/4 sleeve over a long sleeve- it looks chic and keeps me warm. Finding the right long sleeve is the key to making the look right. I love a great chunky sweater but haven’t bought one for a couple of seasons as I always feel like it adds too much bulk.
