Under normal circumstances though I’d suggest molly macs one.<br /> The Nordstrom one could come in handy in the future aswell though.<br /> Best of luck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bridesmaid-cardigan-help-needed#post-1896132 Sun, 04 Mar 2018 04:39:04 +0000 Laura 1896132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you MollyMac, I like that suggestion!</p> <p>Liz, I think you are exactly correct. It is for some more casual photos. I've actually seen a few online that were really adorable.

I'd just look for a cardigan&nbsp;<i>you&nbsp;</i>like, that you can see wearing again. In fact, if the bride is going for a slouchy, casual vibe, a cardigan or wrap that is too "fancy" might throw off the look.&nbsp;</p> <p>Did the bride give you any hints or pointers when she asked you to get the cardigans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bridesmaid-cardigan-help-needed#post-1896034 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 17:35:25 +0000 Anonymous 1896034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the last one best and you might try it just worn over your shoulders. Beige will be high contrast with the dress. Does David's Bridal have something? You might at least get ideas for shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bridesmaid-cardigan-help-needed#post-1896033 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 17:35:16 +0000 Aurore 1896033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second <b>Molly Mac</b>: a cropped look would work well with the dress and would definitely not overwhelm you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bridesmaid-cardigan-help-needed#post-1896031 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 17:31:53 +0000 Molly Mac 1896031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about something like this? I think<br /> A cropped look always works with a longer dress and this one seems very elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bridesmaid-cardigan-help-needed#post-1896022 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 16:58:59 +0000 rachylou 1896022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe a shrug?

Thank you both for your opinions. I think the first one is the most casual for sure.</p> <p>&nbsp;I'm having such a hard time finding something that will look nice. I know one of the other bridesmaids is planning to wear an oversized cardigan, which I assume will be fairly casual too. I don't think she is willing to consider a shawl or wrap. I do know most of the pictures, ceremony, etc. will take place without it, but she did specifically ask us to have one.</p> <p>I may keep looking - but if anyone knows of something a little nicer or that would be flattering with a floor length dress, I'd appreciate it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bridesmaid-cardigan-help-needed#post-1895999 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 15:02:36 +0000 kkards 1895999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gosh what a&nbsp;beautiful dress, seems a shame to cover it up with a cardigan...but if you have to have one, i'd go with your 2nd link the 12 Ami....would the bride consider a&nbsp;shawl instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bridesmaid-cardigan-help-needed#post-1895998 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 15:00:46 +0000 Kathie 1895998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of those three, I think the last one is the best. The others seem a bit casual. Would the bride be willing to consider a wrap? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bridesmaid-cardigan-help-needed#post-1895997 Sat, 03 Mar 2018 14:31:15 +0000 Laura 1895997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need help deciding what style of cardigan to purchase. I will be in a wedding at the end of April and the bride has requested that the bridesmaids all have a beige cardigan to wear over their dresses for a few photos and for when it gets chilly in the evening.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is a link to the dress, the color is wine:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_long-mesh-dress-with-illusion-neckline-f15927_long-bridesmaid-dresses">http://www.davidsbridal.com/Pr.....desmaid-dr</a></p> <p>However, the dress looks fairly different on me as I wear a size 16 and have a full figure, a large chest and some curves.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't want anything that hits weird at the stomach and know cardigans can actually help blend a tummy in. But I also don't want something too casual or where I get lost in the fabric/it makes me look larger than I am.</p> <p>Any ideas would be helpful!</p> <p>A few I'm considering:&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://smile.amazon.com/Healthy_YIDAI-Knitwear-Cardigan-Pullover-Sweater/dp/B0784M58YV/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1">https://smile.amazon.com/Healt.....f=cm_cr_ar</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://smile.amazon.com/12-Ami-Sleeve-Pocket-Cardigan/dp/B075DGBNK8/ref=sr_1_61?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1520087312&amp;sr=1-61&amp;nodeID=7141123011&amp;psd=1&amp;keywords=beige+cardigan">https://smile.amazon.com/12-Am.....#038;ie=UT</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/amour-vert-michaela-stretch-modal-cardigan/4494125?contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;origin=keywordsearch&amp;keyword=beige+cardigan">https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/a.....categoryid</a></p> <p> </p>
