I checked the European site, and that blue really is beautiful. But guess what, the blue is only available in petites They had most of the other colours too, but the jumper has clearly been popular here too, because most colours are sold out in my size. So, as Angie would say: Next!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2083097 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 01:25:28 +0000 Anonymous 2083097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BR in Canada doesn’t get all of the same stuff that the US does either , Inge You might like the blue - it’s a unique almost heathery shade . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2083070 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 00:25:06 +0000 Inge 2083070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for reminding me of this sweater, Lisa. It really does sound magical! And a good colour selection too. Going to check out the BR Europe site right now to see if they are doing all the colours as well or only the neutrals (that's often the case, and it drives me crazy because I usually fall in love with the more interesting or brighter colours, and then they are not available in my neck of the woods). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2082716 Sat, 07 Dec 2019 00:17:37 +0000 Anonymous 2082716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Torontogirl. &nbsp;I'll swing by BR tomorrow too. &nbsp;I would love to try the pink one. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2082709 Fri, 06 Dec 2019 23:47:54 +0000 Helena 2082709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling, I've gotten very sensitive to itch and I find this one soft and decidedly non-itchy even through a whole day. I'd say it's worth a try for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2082707 Fri, 06 Dec 2019 23:27:52 +0000 Anonymous 2082707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May I ask if the fabric is itchy? &nbsp;I am sensitive to wools. &nbsp;Any advice would be appreciated. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2082526 Fri, 06 Dec 2019 16:52:11 +0000 Anonymous 2082526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems every store has a different colour assortment - and we all see the colours in different ways.&nbsp; In cooler&nbsp; northern winter light, the white , lime , orange and even the fuschia look very Palm Beach.

Yeesh. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /> I was concerned that the shape of the ribbing wouldn't be good on the bust, but maybe I was wrong.  I did feel it in the store the other day and the fabric seemed great.  Bummer to miss the 50% off, but I might just investigate... I love the idea of a thin layering sweater.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2082492 Fri, 06 Dec 2019 14:57:39 +0000 DeAnna 2082492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Its been warm here and now starting to be cold enough for sweaters, so I ordered the Lime green and pink ones. I love them and just ordered the white. I'm thinking about getting the olive, they are that good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2082483 Fri, 06 Dec 2019 14:07:09 +0000 Joyce B 2082483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My regular size worked better for me as one size up overwhelmed my frame.<br /> I have the navy which is a very nice shade and also got the sweater in black, brown and fuscia which is really a lovely red. When I received it I thought they sent the red by mistake but then I saw that their red was orangey.<br /> These sweaters are thin and work great for layering but are also good on their own when the weather is not too cold or when worn indoors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2082396 Fri, 06 Dec 2019 04:40:52 +0000 kellygirl 2082396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, I'm enjoying this vicariously, Lisa!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2082334 Fri, 06 Dec 2019 00:20:32 +0000 Irina 2082334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BR is surprisingly good this year - this is my third sweater and I ordered some cardigans. It’s been more than two years since I bought anything there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2082286 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 21:25:04 +0000 Suz 2082286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, <b>Lisa</b> -- I felt that way seeing my regular size on ...ugh!!

I took it off as with black pants I just felt too much like halloween even though its not quite that color. I am going to return tomorrow for another color. So much for me professing that I'm going to wear more color :(<br />I sized up to a medium . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2082278 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 20:46:58 +0000 Roxanna 2082278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The same question Janet raised above - the colour burgundy red looks purple on my screen. Any intel? I'd love burgundy, but don't want purple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2082276 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 20:44:36 +0000 Roxanna 2082276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought it in black, brown and grey and was surprised by how much I loved it! Usually thin sweaters are clingy, but you are right - this one is fluid. And it's soft but not in a pilling way. May go back for the olive. I've worn the brown one 3 times in a week and the black one too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2082274 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 20:28:38 +0000 Anonymous 2082274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blue is a great colour, but the M didn't work. Really quite a difference between the M and L. &nbsp;Much prefer the looser fit. &nbsp;Ugh - ptsd from seeing myself in the mirror in the M now. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here/page/2#post-2082262 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 19:42:59 +0000 Helena 2082262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got the blue and I really like it ... Sort of a rich, moody blue. I think it will look great on you Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here#post-2082254 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 19:20:27 +0000 Anonymous 2082254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - that may explain why the L works for me . &nbsp;I have nice square shoulders &nbsp;in good proportion to my body when it's not loaded with extra fat (like it is now) &nbsp;and often when I upsize in a top to get ease across the bust and midsection, the shoulders are too big. &nbsp;I'm wearing the black one again today - and it's certainly loosened up even &nbsp;more. I came home from BR a few mins ago with a grey L and the blue (lol) in an M, just out of curiosity. &nbsp;Haven't tried the M on yet. &nbsp;Really wanted olive, but none left in stock. &nbsp;The blue is an interesting shade, isn't it? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here#post-2082253 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 19:11:07 +0000 Laura 2082253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun to see the love for this sweater! I got the pink in a regular size small and the fit is perfect. Honestly it almost fits like a petite, as the sleeves are none too long and the shoulder seams hit my small shoulders in the perfect spot. To my eyes, in person, the pink isn't as bright as it appears in the photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here#post-2082239 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 18:29:27 +0000 slim cat 2082239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stoped by BR and tested/touched those merino sweaters - they are as soft and nice as everyone said! However I can't justify buying even one of them since I still got couple perfectly wearable ones from before &nbsp; &nbsp; ( one - wine colored from BR and one striped - from Smartwool ).<br />I feel so happy for you <b>lisa p&nbsp;</b>that the sweaters work and bring you joy!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here#post-2082221 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 16:44:41 +0000 Suz 2082221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA -- the fit on these sweaters (the newer ribbed and the older) is quite different.&nbsp;</p> <p>The newer ones, as the photos suggest, are (to my mind) extremely narrow on the shoulder. If your shoulders are square (never mind broad) you may need to size up. When I did that, I found the body portion fit very fluidly -- even a bit loose. They stretch very comfortably. They don't cling.&nbsp;</p> <p>The older version is a more traditional fitted ribbed sweater. Snug all the way through, but the shoulders fit more easily (on me at least).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here#post-2082219 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 16:43:04 +0000 Irina 2082219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Lisa. I'm going to try my L size sweater again and will make a decision. I do like the look and feel of it. Why a petite L looks a bit too long on me, I have no idea. I really, really need a black thin sweater to wear under leather jackets and blazers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here#post-2082216 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 16:38:37 +0000 Suz 2082216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad it worked for you! &nbsp;I ordered it first in my usual size but it was too narrow on me, esp. on the shoulders, so I sized up and am keeping these two for sure and might go for another. The red was too orange for me, alas (I'd have loved it in red.)&nbsp;</p> <p>It's very comfy and a nice lightweight warm underlayer.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a darker navy from several years back that I still wear -- it's a standard in my closet for under a jacket. (Find #3) The right necklace or scarf can make these more wearable on their own if you have to take the coat or jacket off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here#post-2082212 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 16:32:15 +0000 Jules 2082212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great helpful review, thanks lisap. I need more basic pieces like these. I find my statement tops rarely wear out before I get sick of them so despite not buying all that much I currently have a closet full of good condition blouses etc that I am sick of and want to purge. Good jeans, basic tops and good shoes on the other hand I will generally wear out.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here#post-2082203 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 15:55:23 +0000 Anonymous 2082203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As to the layering /wearing alone issue: &nbsp;I'd be absolutely comfortable having to take my coat off and just have this sweater on if I were stopping for coffee or lunch somewhere, say . &nbsp;It looks more interesting than a plain merino knit because of the wide ribbing , and because I sized up it's not clinging to my stomach and waist. No, it's not the best look ever as a stand-alone piece ON ME because I'm not fat-free and I have a short torso &nbsp; , but that's not what I bought it for. I bought it to look &nbsp;sleek and polished under a coat, which is what I wear when I'm out being a sales rep. &nbsp; I'd layer it under a blazer or bomber or leather jacket too. &nbsp;By sizing up, it is longer on me that I'd ideally love, but I'm not over analyzing this. It's a , what - $60 sweater and it's very comfortable and polished looking. Far moreso than my $30 H&amp;M vaguely itchy sweaters that I'm now completely over but of course have about 5 of . &nbsp;(Eyeroll at that) . &nbsp;I'll wear one today and try to take a picture &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here#post-2082194 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 14:01:21 +0000 Helena 2082194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know I've already said this three times elsewhere but lovers of this sweater, if history holds true, next years version may not be as good quality ... be warned! For me, I'm sitting on my hands trying not to order a third hahah ...</p> <p>I seem to recall the burgundy being quite purple as well. The hot pink is very bright ... but very tempting as a statement (for me) piece! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-br-magic-sweater-lover-here#post-2082192 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 13:54:29 +0000 Glory 2082192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very tempted as per my usual lemming style :).<br /> I may try to get to the store in person to check fit but mostly itch factor. </p>
