Actually, I gave up and went with a berry instead. I'm thinking my want of a particular shade is going to mean I'm better off looking in person, once SYC is over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-498580 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 20:42:33 +0000 Di 498580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you try this cropped one?</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/360-cashmere-olivia-crop-cashmere-cardigan/3219746?origin=category" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/36.....n=category</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-493625 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:42:40 +0000 Mo 493625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for reporting back, Claudia. I have the VS multiway one on order but if it doesn't work out, I'll look into it. In general I'm not a fan of the warmer, Chinese or tomato reds as much as true red for myself. Even the red top in my profile picture is warmer than I'd like actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-493612 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:23:11 +0000 Claudia 493612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I received the cardigans today. </p> <p>The pros: soft, very light weight knit, non-itchy. Colors were as pictured and very pretty.</p> <p>The cons for me: too short in the torso hitting @ above my high hip, VERY form fitting.</p> <p>Mo, you might want to give this sweater a try in the Rio Red being a petite and slender gal that you are. This fits just like it looks on the model. The red is a warm true red, more tomato red with no blue or brown undertones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-491157 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:19:48 +0000 Mo 491157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claudia, you could be right. I hate that. -_- </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-491153 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:13:03 +0000 Claudia 491153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I see the photo you added. I would bet the model's sweater is clothes pinned all in back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-491151 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:09:33 +0000 Claudia 491151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, one of them is the Rio Red, I'll let you know the shade of it IRL.</p> <p>Like MaryK, I ordered the Seamed pencil skirt in Rio Red but returned it. Mainly because it was too big, I had to go down two sizes from their chart on this skirt, but agree the color wasn't a warm enough red for what I wanted. We'll see how the sweater is... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-491149 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:05:17 +0000 Mo 491149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, I'll be interested to hear. I have decided I just might have to put this on the list of holes and when I come across one, it will happen. Searching tirelessly isn't working lol. I am finicky about too loose, too long, wrong red, what material, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-491146 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:02:03 +0000 Claudia 491146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nordstrom was not able to cancel my order, so when I get it, I will report back my opinion/review of this cardigan for anyone who may be considering these, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-490836 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 23:47:24 +0000 MsMary 490836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was pretty true to size. I got the petite small and it fit just fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-490827 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 23:42:06 +0000 Claudia 490827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MK, how did your's run size wise? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-490815 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 23:32:12 +0000 MsMary 490815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops!

It has a drop of orange but is very close to true red. The fabric is nice too, it's wool blend and thick without being bulky. I just ordered a second one in green (with 30% off it was only $44 or so). </p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/catalogjcrewcomexclusives/sweaters/PRDOVR~48781/99102437115/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~dream/48781.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_fe...../48781.jsp</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-490672 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 19:48:55 +0000 Claudia 490672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sylvie. I was just trying to cancel my order even before reading your post. I decided that 100% wool wouldn't be as seasonally versatile as a cotton or cotton blend cardigan.</p> <p>Nordies is fast on fulfillment with it, they aren't sure if they can cancel my order and I just placed it an hour or so ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-490667 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 19:41:45 +0000 Sylvie 490667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Claudia. I think the cardigans MaryK is wearing are the v-neck cardigans that were part of the anniversary sale that have normal sleeves. I have the black version, LOVE it, and am really sad I didn't buy more colors.</p> <p>The ones Claudia linked to were put out a bit later, have ribbed sleeves and (sorry to throw a spanner) I didn't like them at all when I tried them on. The sleeves are too tight to layer anything with sleeves underneath and they weren't flattering on me.</p> <p>YMMV. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-490642 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 19:10:18 +0000 Claudia 490642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, the cardis you are wearing are different than the one I linked to. I wonder if these colors will also match the skirts as well as yours do? Or fit similar? I decided to order a couple of these to go with my Halogen Seamed skirts.</p> <p>Did you find that the matching Halogen sweaters ran large like the skirts did? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-490621 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 18:42:30 +0000 Mo 490621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, thanks for the heads up MaryK. I want a true lipstick red. Brick isn't what I'm looking for. Claire, excellent point about the uniform color lol! I will look into it. Even 100% cotton is just fine, although cashmere would be nice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-490617 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 18:39:56 +0000 Anonymous 490617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This might not be as nice as what you're looking for, but did you try Target? They always seem to carry a good true red in cardis since it's their uniform color, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-490616 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 18:32:28 +0000 MsMary 490616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BTW, I should tell you that I bought the skirt in Rio Red and returned it because it was not a true, bright red. The color in the photo on line is pretty accurate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-490612 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 18:28:22 +0000 Parsley 490612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, that looks like a good one!

Yes, the colors match the skirts. And the sleeves are slim but you could layer it over a close-fitting long-sleeved top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-490601 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 17:58:38 +0000 Parsley 490601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that first one, too, and it's a great price. Does anybody know if the colors match the Halogen skirts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-red-v-neck-cardigan#post-490588 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 17:48:12 +0000 Mo 490588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, mind sharing a pic? I love to see things IRL Do you find the sleeves too snug to layer under?

I'd like some nice and/or durable fibers, not acrylic or a flimsy rayon that shrinks in the first wash! I tend toward closer and cropped fits. If you have any leads, I'd appreciate it. I skimmed Gap, BR, ON, and came up empty. Under $100 unless we're talking cashmere ;)</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>EDIT: on me vs in the picture . . . mmm, not quite lol </p>
