I'm holding thumbs you'll find your chunky knit sweater soon!<br /> Carole: I hear you, but are you sure it wasn't just a case of your eye needing to adjust to the look? Quite a few forum members initially weren't sure of the fit of this pullover.<br /> Vicki: Hello fabulous sweater twin! I can't wait to see the S on you, I have a hunch this will be just the right oversized look for you. And you've done your fair share of research for us on this one too;-)<br /> Lisa: Very good point, and that's why trying things on is always worth a shot:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit/page/2#post-794593 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 20:03:44 +0000 Lisa 794593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this sweater looks so cozy and the color is just lovely on you. I really like the slouchy look and the side view was helpful. Sometimes I put something back on the rack because I don't think it fits right, but now I'm thinking my eye may just need to adjust a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit/page/2#post-794500 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 18:14:55 +0000 Vicki 794500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, you look amazing, my sweater twin, and I am just about to drive to Gap and take my XS's to see how the S will look on me as I love the oversized look you've modeled for us! This color and style is beautiful perfection! Thanks for the field work you did on everyone's behalf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit/page/2#post-792137 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 17:00:02 +0000 Carole 792137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks so great on you, Inge, as it did on Angie. I had no such luck and was disappointed I wasn't able to join in the Gap Jumper fun. The neck looked odd and wide on me and the fit wasn't flattering, but I'm super sensitive about dressing my upper body and shy away from anything too oversized and boxy for fear of looking even bigger and broader than I am. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit/page/2#post-792126 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:43:58 +0000 MNsara 792126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look adorable in this oversized sweater I love when oversized is done so perfectly!!</p> <p>I was inspired to join all the fun and tried this yesterday at Gap, but I must be the odd man out, as I found it all itchy and my neck skin had already turned red when I took them off (I tried on four sweaters in two sizes hoping one would feel soft, not itchy) I'm sad :-(</p> <p>So, enjoy this beauty for me -- I have to keep hunting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-792104 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 15:56:20 +0000 Isabel 792104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it too. Nothing says "cozy" to me like a slightly over sized sweater. PERFECT ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-792062 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 14:59:39 +0000 Laura 792062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took a squizz at it myself and ordered it a full week ago and it hasn't shipped yet. Seeing you model yours makes me even more impatient!! You look great, Inge. Maybe you should get the ink blue as well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-792059 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 14:50:01 +0000 Ingunn 792059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very stylish, Inge! I really like this sweater on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-792025 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 12:46:39 +0000 Inge 792025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mona - and all the other ladies who are considering this pullover: It really is a beautiful sweater that feels super cosy and stylish (and the fact that it's not itchy is such a bonus). So definitely worth a squizz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-792021 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 12:43:01 +0000 Inge 792021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella - for Gap and Banana Republic I use the European websites (it's a little strange actually, if I go to their US sites I can add items to my shopping basket, it's only during check-out that I'm told these items are not available for shipping to Europe...). Old Navy and Piperlime, part of the same group, do offer shipping to Europe through partner FiftyOne, but this is more expensive.<br /> These are the urls (the selection is more limited than on the US sites - and, sadly for us, often there are no Tall sizes). But you don't pay import duties, and shipping costs are very reasonable:<br /> <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.eu/" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.eu/</a>?<br /> <a href="http://www.gap.eu/browse/home.do?ssiteID=BR_EU" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.eu/browse/home.do?ssiteID=BR_EU</a></p> <p>RunnerChick - I just wrap the "extra fabric" tightly around my legs and tuck the pants into my socks, this way the trousers stay put while putting on the boots. Does that make sense. Love the sound of the AT teal sweater, perhaps you could go have another look;-)</p> <p>Suz - It's perfectly possible that the collar size varies even with the same size, so definitely worth trying on a few sweaters to see which feels best to you.</p> <p>Jules - I haven't worn the jumper out yet, but tried it on with my Winter coats and as long as I scrunch the sleeves before putting on the coats there isn't much bunching at all. I do "feel" the extra fabric is there, I don't think this is going to bother me, but perhaps someone else would find that uncomfortable?</p> <p>Jeanne - I am also VERY tempted to get the blue one too. Good idea too order a different size if you're after a different fit.</p> <p>Thank you again everyone for the amazing comments, you guys sure know how to put a huge smile on my face:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-792020 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 12:42:24 +0000 Mona 792020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this pullover on you, Inge! thanks for taking the time to show us the fit. I will visit Gap today and will try it on. I have been on the fence about this but looking at your pics, it is so hard to not give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-792009 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 11:08:43 +0000 Jjsloane 792009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for modeling. Mine arrived yesterday too and I might be wearing it today. I am still tempted by the navy blue one as well, but I might be tempted to get that in a size down for a slightly different fit. Mine fits just as yours and you've demonstrated a style I will try with it. Beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-792005 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 09:59:01 +0000 RoseandJoan 792005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jumper is great on you Inge.</p> <p>I love the styling, the simplicity of the outfit keeps it crisp and clean enough to meet your style goals.</p> <p>I do have a question, given the amount of volume and the thickness of the knit does it bunch under your outerwear? More importantly does it remain comfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-791951 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 03:28:04 +0000 Suz 791951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is fabulous on you, oh style icon!!! </p> <p>I love the fit and the colour, and also love the pants tucked into the boots.</p> <p>It's interesting what Sveta says about the collar. I am feeling pretty certain (based on all the reports) that the sizing of that collar must vary a bit between sweaters, which would not be at all unusual for Gap. It could mean trying on multiple sweaters to get the right fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-791941 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 02:57:40 +0000 Jaime 791941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfit in the first picture. Gorgeous. Majestic even. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-791938 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 02:54:06 +0000 RunnerChick 791938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color and the fit of the sweater and the relaxed trousers fitted into moto boots - so lovely! This is such a great winter look. You look wonderful! </p> <p>As part of the education, I am also wondering if you can share tips for fitting looser trousers into boots...mine always bunch up in an unattractive way, but yours (and Rae's, from her post a couple of days ago) look so good. What's the secret?</p> <p>ETA: I was at the Ann Taylor Outlet this morning and I saw a sweater not unlike this one in teal. It looked lovely, but had to pass it up because I don't really need one more sweater...now, looking at you, I am almost wishing I had not </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-791840 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 23:39:14 +0000 Makrame 791840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I was tempted by this sweater when I saw it in a Gap store yesterday, and even more so now that I have seen you model it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-791798 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 22:21:09 +0000 sarah 791798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look fabulous, Inge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-791787 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 22:10:15 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 791787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hadn't been tempted before but after seeing your pics, I NEED to check it out.

You could easily model it :-)</p> <p>Inge, which site do you order your Gap things from, US or UK? I'm guessing import duties are different depending on whether the things arrive from or outside the EU.</p> <p>ETA: or is it simply gap.eu... I've just tried .co.uk site but got transferred to .eu </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-791748 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:21:02 +0000 Inge 791748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone for the lovely comments!<br /> Atlantia: *chuckle*, the things I do to help my fellow YLFers;-)<br /> Angie, I'm chuffed that you love this outfit and silhouette on me, I'm really into this look right now, very fun to mix things up.<br /> Beth Ann and Claire: you guys are making me blush, thank you so much! The pullover is super cosy, perfect for the weather we're having right now (freezing with a bit of snow)(and I always love learning new words, "purdy" is a good one:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-791720 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 20:59:25 +0000 Deborah 791720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge thanks for posting and for the education.

This is how it's done! Wow, fantastic fit, color and I love the hi-lo hem. I love the dramatic impact of the oversized look and you carry it off with aplomb. The color could not be more beautiful on you either. Love it with the trousers and boots: perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-791713 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 20:41:45 +0000 Beth Ann 791713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh! Purdy (that's midwestern for fab)!</p> <p>Thanks for the educational posting, Inge! I love this silhouette on you. It draws attention to your face and must be really cuddly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-791712 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 20:37:48 +0000 Angie 791712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Atlantia, the pullover *is* styled in an outfit :). And to my eye it's a KILLER look on Inge!</p> <p>This is how the jumper is supposed to fit. WIDE :). Fashion forward. My band stands away from my hips like that too. </p> <p>Thanks Inge!! You look sensational!! I love those booties with the roomier trouser. Refreshing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-791707 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 20:29:42 +0000 Atlantia 791707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge you look lovely! Thank you for posting these fit pics. I did crack up a bit at the one where you are pulling the back away from yourself. In the thumbnail I was like "what in the world!"<br /> Can't wait to see it styled into an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cable-knit-pullover---pics-to-show-the-fit#post-791700 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 20:18:08 +0000 Sveta 791700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Inge. I think Regular L was a bit shorter on me than on you so I hope Tall will fit me like this. </p>
