If you wear it with attitude, it will be fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-size-ok#post-1830037 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 03:01:01 +0000 Anonymous 1830037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's too long. The top part seems too long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-size-ok#post-1830032 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 02:52:30 +0000 Keix 1830032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind the drape/size of the cardi on you. I do worry about the sleeves though. Hemming them could be the way to go. I love the marled dark grey cardi color paired with your lighter marled hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-size-ok#post-1830007 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 02:08:01 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1830007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think photo 2 shows it at a better angle than 1, and I think the length looks great. I like it on you! Those are some enormous ties at the wrist, though; I know they would bug me, too. I'm sure they are fairly easily dealt with, either by wrapping around the wrist more, or shortening. I like the idea of them--they are unusual and fun--so if it were mine, I wouldn't cut them off entirely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-size-ok#post-1829995 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 01:52:38 +0000 shiny 1829995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it in pic 3, so I am thinking it may just be your pose / camera angle here...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-size-ok#post-1829990 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 01:49:19 +0000 DonnaF 1829990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jennifer, the larger one that I returned DEFINITELY looked bathrobe-y, but IRL this one seems less so.&nbsp; I think I need to try it with other items.</p> <p>Suz and JAileen, the ties seem removeable and I think this could even be hemmed up (by Nordstrom, not me).&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-size-ok#post-1829985 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 01:35:02 +0000 JAileen 1829985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the fabric. Can you remove the ties on the sleeves? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-size-ok#post-1829982 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 01:28:08 +0000 Suz 1829982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea...but if the ties are bothersome will they bother over the long run?&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the pattern with your hair. And, of course, you have me thinking of lemmings....</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-size-ok#post-1829977 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 01:19:00 +0000 shiny 1829977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay not as sure about this one, but it may be the way you are standing in the photo. Initial impression was... kind of bathrobe-ish. You are teeny tiny and this seems to swamp.</p> <p>I do love the idea and a good tailor could take out some excess in the body, maybe a tad on the length.&nbsp;</p> <p>It seems to be a more polished item, not one you could wear around the house as loungewear? (I am currently wearing a super cozy XXS cardigan from Athletica that is definitely too big... but oh so cozy... ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-size-ok#post-1829973 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 01:13:25 +0000 DonnaF 1829973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is PXXS. The next size up was ridiculously big. The wrist ties are a little annoying. Too long or does it work? </p>
