Too much fuss plus there was way too much fabric and length at the front for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1529807 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 01:35:18 +0000 Anonymous 1529807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried this one on today--in olive and sized down to a small because the medium didn't have that elongated look, more like a tent in medium. &nbsp;The olive is gorgeous. &nbsp;Did try on the shift/tunic but they only had a large left so I couldn't judge the fit in a medium. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am curious what colors I might wear under this sweater with jeans, for example. &nbsp;Olive for sure. &nbsp;Black? (don't wear black and white stripes or I'd try that combo); burgundy? navy? &nbsp;I rarely wear pink or I'd try that. &nbsp;I'm a strawberry blonde with green eyes. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1529668 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 21:26:29 +0000 always trying 1529668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i almost ordered this cardi, but thought I would look further for a more brown or taupe one.&nbsp; Also thought the sleeves looked too skimpy.&nbsp; These skimpy sleeves seems to be the norm in thinner fabric cardis, and I have fat arms.&nbsp; If anyone finds one with bigger sleeves I am interested in getting it, even if not in the colors of my choosing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1529444 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 14:25:35 +0000 Angie 1529444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Peri. That's interesting too. All the clients who tried on the cardi were wearing sleeved tops underneath as a layer - there was plenty of room and it felt comfy. Perhaps you don't like the ribbing stitch on the sleeves?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1529350 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 11:19:08 +0000 Mochi 1529350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can wear it over sleeves and it doesn't seem too bulky, but it is fitted for sure.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1528955 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 20:21:48 +0000 Peri 1528955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, yes, that one. And I'm not saying the sleeves are tight...the fit fine and are stretchy. It's just that they show the lumps and bumps of trying to layer over other sleeves and in my climate I have no use for a sweater to wear over sleeveless!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1528951 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 20:17:17 +0000 Keix 1528951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought it in burgundy--didn't size down because I'm already in an XS--and wearing it happily today! I do have to cuff the sleeves a few inches because I have short arms, but it doesn't overwhelm me at 5'2" and I don't find the sleeves too slim. Rather, the rib knit just doesn't lend itself to layering over long sleeves... I live in CA and was looking specifically for a warm office layer over sleeveless dresses and tops, so it fits my needs perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1528769 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 14:30:32 +0000 Mochi 1528769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered it and I think it's coming today. I'll let you know how it works. Thanks for the heads-up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1528756 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 14:16:21 +0000 Angie 1528756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you taking about this Leith cardi? If so - nah. You don't need to have narrow arms to wear it. I sized my six foot tall size 12 clients down in this style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1528396 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 00:39:35 +0000 Ann in New England 1528396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, off to try mine on again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1528392 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 00:36:04 +0000 Windchime 1528392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like a no for that cardigan. I also have slender arms and recently found a (non NAS) cardigan too tight on my bare arms. Surprising, right? It makes me wonder who they have in mind when they make these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1528386 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 00:33:15 +0000 Lisa 1528386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did not keep this piece, because I was trying to pair it with a dress (and I did not care for the fit of the dress).&nbsp; I prefer to layer my cardigans with shells, tanks, and slim fit LS T's or tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1528384 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 00:31:26 +0000 Thistle 1528384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried it and returned it. It looked odd over long sleeves and just didn't fit quite right. My climate requires layering for 8-9 months, so only bring able to wear it over a tank was't an option.</p> <p>I was sad as I loved the color and the drape was so nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1528375 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 23:51:37 +0000 carter 1528375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've discovered exactly why I'm returning mine. I have a layering phobia as it is, but this one would only work for me over sleeveless tops, which I was wearing in the store when I tried it on. I likely won't be wearing a sleeveless top in December though! Too bad, because I liked everything else about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1528369 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 23:42:54 +0000 Sylvie 1528369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I plan to always wear mine over short sleeves or sleeveless tops. &nbsp;I don't live in a climate where it makes sense to layer a topper over something with sleeves. &nbsp;Indoors, two layers of sleeves would be too warm and outdoors, you'd want an outer layer that blocks the wind.</p> <p>Not that that helps you at all. &nbsp;Sounds like it's not a good fit for your climate if you need to have two layers. :(</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-bought-the-leith-waterfall-cardigan#post-1528364 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 23:32:56 +0000 Peri 1528364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really want to like it but I'm surprised by the very slim fitting arms. I have really thin arms and even so these are fitted on me. Not really tight, stretchy, but very slim. I can see from a design standpoint that gives structure to the rest of the volume, but I'm wondering about use. </p> <p>I would wear a cardigan in cooler weather...so I would likely already be wearing long sleeves. How do fitted sleeves work over looser ones? I tried it on over a blouse today and the blouse sleeves were all bunchy and uncomfortable under the cardigan sleeves, and it was obvious looking too. That would really limit its usefulness I would think, to only be able to wear it over other fitted sleeves or over sleeveless.</p> <p>If this is a keeper for you, what are your thoughts about how to wear it? I'm thinking it would work best to extend the use of summer sleeveless tops into the fall, but I'm not really sure that is something I want to do!</p>
