They are 30% off now, and believe me they will sell out. They always do every year. I would say stock up. This year's blend is amazing, 45% silk.

The fuchsia looks sweet and the darker color looks sultry in a very luxurious way. As for black, you can't go wrong and I think that would be beautiful on you, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751827 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 02:05:15 +0000 Sveta 751827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and Angie, what do you think about black t-neck on me - does it really work? Should I get one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751819 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 01:58:56 +0000 Sveta 751819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Then fuchsia it is! I will report back how my experiment with taking in the sides goes.<br /> Thank you all for you help. Now I am off to BR website to order the rest of them in XL and then off to BR tomorrow to return size L! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751815 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 01:54:57 +0000 Angie 751815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mama Sveta to the rescue! She has become YLF Royalty. </p> <p>(I am humbled). </p> <p>Much prefer the fuchsia! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751795 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 01:38:17 +0000 Sveta 751795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, you know that your fashion wish is my command, don't you? :-)<br /> Bra is not showing with a smaller size but I do want to wear them on their own as well as layered under and I do like how the bigger size fits in the hips so...<br /> ... I talked to my mom and she said it may be possible to take in the excess fabric on the sides. I am taking this one to her tomorrow and we will see what she says.<br /> And Angie, do you have any preference on the color? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751794 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 01:36:55 +0000 Angie 751794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, which size do you prefer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751792 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 01:29:42 +0000 Anonymous 751792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that If the bra band is showing, the problem is not the turtleneck, is the bra.<br /> I am ok with the size you posted before (L) but I think Angie's opinion is controlling. She has a good eye for what works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751788 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 01:26:01 +0000 Angie 751788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! This was an interesting exercise, and thanks Sveta for humouring me with trying the larger size. </p> <p>Gaylene could have written my comment! </p> <p>So it really depends on you, Sveta - and the role of these turtlenecks. I have a slight preference for the larger size because it's a better fit from the bust down for sure. That said, the more body con fit is not a train smash either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751754 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 00:46:03 +0000 missvee 751754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do they look from the back? Does the L cling and show the outline of your bra band? If not, then I'd say stay with the large as it looks great from the front. I like both colours, so no help there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751746 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 00:29:41 +0000 Gaylene 751746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on how closely you like your turtlenecks to fit when you take your jacket off. If I know I'll be wearing a sweater in a business, or teaching, situation, I usually go for a looser, slouchy fit so I can take off my jacket without feeling like too much is on display, especially with a turtleneck. I'm also with Angie on liking a looser fit these days instead of the body con fit that has been so prevalent these last few years. On the other hand, if you know that you would never wear the sweater for business, or would be unlikely to take off your jacket, you might be fine with a closer fit. I'd go with your preference since both look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751717 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 23:59:51 +0000 Sveta 751717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh-oh, opinions are divided!<br /> I just measured them against each other. The shoulder length is almost the same - XL is 1 cm longer in total, it is really negligeble. The sleeves on XL are 1" wider at the armholes but taper to the same width from the elbow down.<br /> The biggest difference is the torso - XL is 1.5" wider across - which will be around 3" in diameter.<br /> The length is the same - L is Tall and XL is regular.<br /> Joy, jacket works for both - they are pretty thin so no bulk really.<br /> Zap, they are the same. I did not have any doubts about size L until Angie spoke...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751707 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 23:49:36 +0000 Jem 751707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the large alot better than the XL. I like both the fuschia and the purple. I love fuschia but in the picture I see the color before I see your face. It's opposite with the purple. I don't know if that matters to you, probably the fuschia is a bit bright for you. On the other hand, sometimes that is fun! (I'm thinking I'm no help) Anyway, I think both colors are fun for you, but I would go with the L if it were me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751702 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 23:44:58 +0000 Keix 751702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the fuschia color and the size L fit on you, for sure. The XL just looks too baggy to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751690 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 23:37:37 +0000 DonnaF 751690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you hold them up against each other, can you actually see a size difference? From my laptop, I don't see a shoulder seam. Is there one? And is the fabrication such that it will shrink? Or stretch? Please help me along here, as they both look nearly the same size to me. If there is any possibility of shrinkage, I would get the XL because the L's slightly narrower sleeves would shrink in and then up and probably aggravate you to no end.</p> <p>As to color, I am personally biased toward fuchsia, so I'm not sure that I can make an objective assessment. That being said, I like the fuchsia better on you because I think it gives you more life, but the navy isn't bad either.</p> <p>So sorry about your hectic business schedule; it seems like its been unrelenting lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751683 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 23:30:56 +0000 Anonymous 751683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, are the ones in the old post an L? I did buy four of them in black, cream, burgundy and light grey. Mine fit tailored. I would even go smaller than the L, but I'm queen bodycon:) Out of the two, I prefer the L. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751679 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 23:29:18 +0000 merwoman 751679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Size L fits best - XL is sloppy.<br /> I like the fuschia shade best on you - but depends on what you are going to wear it with... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751677 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 23:27:24 +0000 Anonymous 751677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the size of the fushia one best too, although it's hard to see much difference. Have you tried a jacket over the fushia top to see if it will work? The length of both sizes is great. The XL just looks a bit smoother. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751659 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 23:18:41 +0000 K. Period. 751659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fuchsia one, both in color and size . I think it looks softer, but is still fitted enough to show off your lovely shape. I think the fuchsia color also makes you glow in a really lovely way that the dark purple doesn't. And, when you find your cream leather jacket, that fuchsia color is going to be delicious with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-follow-up-on-your-suggestion#post-751648 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 23:04:39 +0000 Sveta 751648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In this thread about BR turtlenecks Angie wondered if I need to size up:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-does-cream-t-neck-has-a-place-in-my-wardrobe" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....y-wardrobe</a><br /> Well, as usual I take Angie's words to heart so I went to BR yesterday and got one turtleneck in a bigger size.<br /> Dark purple is size L and fuchsia is size XL. Which size should I go for in them? I would prefer to be able to wear them as a layer under jackets but also on their own if required.<br /> Also - which color you think looks better on me and / or would work better with my style?</p> <p>I would really appreciate a quick feedback as I have whole pile of those t-necks waiting to be returned (maybe) and (maybe) order in bigger size. BR aslo has 30% sale this weekend AND I had to leave on my business trip on Sunday for 2 weeks - on week earlier than I thought. I really want return / reorder them tomorrow!</p> <p>Thanks a lot! </p>
