I also wondered if the shoulders of the pxs were a bit too narrow; one shoulder seemed to pull inward a bit. Maybe I'll exchange it for a ps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-sizing#post-26385 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 14:32:43 +0000 Tanya 26385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I usually do not have an issue with this, but it does happen from time to time. Because button-downs are much stiffer than knitted tops, I did need a bigger size once or twice for a sweater to layer over them. Maybe a very stretchy sweater is a solution if you want to layer it over both knits and wovens? It could be one of those things like pants lengths, that you have to commit to layering it over certain item in advance and pick the size accordingly.</p> <p>Another thing I failed to mention, is that I noticed that for some brands sweaters tend to run smaller than knitted tops. I have purchased tops in XS and sweaters in S to achieve the same fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-sizing#post-26380 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 14:19:03 +0000 Becky 26380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you find that you have to size up when purchasing cardigans for layering? I ordered a BR long-sleeved cardi for layering in petite xs, the same size as the summer tops I had bought. Alone or over a short-sleeved t-shirt, the fit seemed OK, though the sleeves are certainly snug. However, layering over a long-sleeved button-down resulted in a lumpy, bumpy look. Does that mean I need to try the petite small size? I don't feel the outline of the top underneath should be noticable through the cardi, but I'm new to layering. </p>
