I'll be looking for the grey sweater!</p> <p>Pree, it takes trying a few sizes to see which one is right, doesn't it? The sleeves here are the correct length. I wouldn't want them shorter. </p> <p>Suz, soul sucking beige is so accurate! Looks lovely on the right person but that wouldn't be me. The architectural quality of this sweater is an acquired taste and not for everyone. </p> <p>Thank you for chiming in, Angie. I really appreciate the insight. The vote of confidence helps me step outside my style box. </p> <p>Thank you for your fashion wisdom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-sweater-fit#post-1828689 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 13:58:05 +0000 Angie 1828689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This type of silhouette is <b>beyond body type</b>. The size looks dead right here, and you look fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-sweater-fit#post-1828653 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 11:59:08 +0000 Suz 1828653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely to see you post! We have some body type similarities so I am especially happy to see this sweater on, since I was also considering it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the drape is fabulous here. I would go for a petite for the length, and also for the grey. This is what we used to refer to on the forum as "soul-sucking beige" -- which of course looks gorgeous on the right person, but on the wrong person (uh, that would be me) literally looks as if it sucks the soul out! ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree 100% that listening to Angie's recommendations is always a great idea. She knows what she is up to!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>JenniNZ</b>, my sense is that this sweater does not tick your personal style preference boxes so it's hard for you to see its merits. It is a mid- neutral (not your preference) and it is deliberately oversized and architectural. From what we've seen of your style, I'd say you prefer your drama to come in colour and detail whereas this sweater's drama comes from its cut. Angie's "Team X or Team Y" posts in the blog archives are really fun for helping people tease out these kinds of things and nail down the details of their likes/ dislikes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-sweater-fit#post-1828648 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 11:35:06 +0000 Pree 1828648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Greycat 6! I tried many sizes of that sweater and I really do love it.<br /> The front draping looks great! I can't tell the seem length since you have them scrunched up. As far as I can tell, the length looks fine. I would need to see a picture of the side/ back to determine.<br /> Only get a petite if the arms are too long in the regular size is my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-sweater-fit#post-1828621 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 08:08:31 +0000 Style Fan 1828621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked that sweater too but I knew I didn't have the right body type for it.&nbsp; I like it on you but I would try the grey.&nbsp; Why look like a cadaver?&nbsp; The petite might be better for sizing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-sweater-fit#post-1828615 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 06:52:27 +0000 greycat6 1828615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, lozz_oz and Riscilla! </p> <p>Lozz_oz that beige color does make my complexion look like that of a cadaver! Ugh. Tough to get past it. I'll try the gray color. </p> <p>Riscilla, I completely see the baggie shirt now that you mention it! I'm going to try the petite size. If the baggie shirt persists, I'll move on. </p> <p>Thank you both for your help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-sweater-fit#post-1828610 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 06:31:17 +0000 Riscilla 1828610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>if i talk about my personal choice i would sure go with it. . .infact im in love with it wanna buy as the winters are coming. .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-sweater-fit#post-1828609 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 06:30:21 +0000 Riscilla 1828609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's good as far as I can see there 's no as such problem in it.&nbsp; but probably&nbsp;it'll be long overall it is good as it somehow looks like baggie shirt.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-sweater-fit#post-1828608 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 06:20:41 +0000 lozz_oz 1828608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Jenni on this one - for me it's the colour that doesn't do it for me + you comment on it doing you no favours either. Maybe try the grey or keep looking. Just a suggestion </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-sweater-fit#post-1828606 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 05:35:00 +0000 greycat6 1828606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Jenni NZ. You have a great eye. I think a bright scarf will do wonders to liven up the neutral colors. </p> <p>I have to admit the sweater didnt catch my eye until it was one of Angie's picks. Her picks are always worth a second look! </p> <p>Thanks again for your input! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-sweater-fit#post-1828602 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 04:16:52 +0000 Jenni NZ 1828602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there I also think it may be a bit long. I think I am bemused by how many of you love this sweater. I can't really see the attraction. I guess it's not bright enough for me. Grey looks better of the two I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-sweater-fit#post-1828587 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 02:36:09 +0000 greycat6 1828587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Joy and LauraG! </p> <p>Joy, I love, love the scarf idea! I have never met a scarf I don't like so I have a quite a collection. I'm sure there is something that will work. </p> <p>Laura D, your comment about length has me thinking that I should look for a petite.....in gray. The beige does me NO favors! Off to check online availability. </p> <p>Thank you again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-sweater-fit#post-1828579 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 02:15:14 +0000 Laura G 1828579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see no problem with shoulders or bust, but I think it may be long on you. And you didn't ask, but don't settle for a color that doesn't make your skin glow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-sweater-fit#post-1828578 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 02:12:53 +0000 Anonymous 1828578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, this sweater looks great on you. You could use a scarf or jewelry to add color or a different neutral near your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-sweater-fit#post-1828565 Mon, 24 Jul 2017 01:23:34 +0000 greycat6 1828565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a long time lurker, sporadic commenter and first time photo poster I would really appreciate your feedback on the fit and degree of figure flattery of this sweater. I'm still too shy to bare my face so I appreciate your patience. </p> <p>I fell in love with the architectural look of this sweater and think it would be a great way to refresh my fall style. I do admire the look of Eileen Fisher on others but it doesn't love me back. I think my body Is the opposite of what her designs are meant to flatter. I'm a slender pear with a small bust and narrow rib cage but with shoulders that give me IT tendencies despite being slightly sloped. I also have a very long rise. </p> <p>Does the cut of this sweater flatter? Do I have enough shoulders/bust to give it the structure it needs to flatter? The beige color does me no favors but was the only option in this size. The gray shown as a find is much better and is available online. I'm not wearing anything under the sweater in these photos. I would wear a cami or something similar to create a column of color. </p> <p>I truly appreciate the time you take to comment and your thoughtful responses. Thank you in advance. </p>
