But I too will keep an eye out for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-the-perfect-cardigan#post-689403 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 21:05:41 +0000 KathyL 689403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's ok. Just to let you know, I have several cardigans from there that have held up for many years (at least 3-4 years). I tried googling silk cardigans and came up with nothing good (I am having a s l o w day!). Will keep my eyes open for you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-the-perfect-cardigan#post-689397 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 20:52:14 +0000 Sylvie 689397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks RunnerChick. I did try looking at Wintersilk, but all their cardigans are silk blends. Also, their fits tend to be boxy on me.</p> <p>Thanks for the pointer Kathy. The Semi-Sheer Striped V-Neck Cardigans look like exactly what I want except that they're rayon. I am dead set on 100% silk because my old one has lasted me 7-8 years. I have bought cotton/blend/wool cardigans in the past but they never hold up for more than 2 years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-the-perfect-cardigan#post-689393 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 20:45:22 +0000 KathyL 689393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you looking for silk knit specifically? They are not silk but I have several from NY and company that have held up well. They have cropped and longer versions as well as long and 3/4 length sleeves.<br /> <a href="http://www.nyandcompany.com/nyco/facet/facetGlossary.jsp?removeAllFacets=true&amp;addFacet=SRCH:cardigan&amp;trailSize=1&amp;_requestid=61805">NY and Company cardigans</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-the-perfect-cardigan#post-689387 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 20:39:20 +0000 RunnerChick 689387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Wintersilk: <a href="http://www.wintersilk.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wintersilk.com/</a><br /> The quality is good, but they tend towards classic and might not be that fashion forward. Their stuff lasts for years and looks very classy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-the-perfect-cardigan#post-689386 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 20:37:32 +0000 Sylvie 689386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I own one but it is on its last legs. It is:</p> <p>100% Silk knit<br /> V-neck<br /> Cropped (longer is fine too)<br /> Fitted<br /> 3/4 length sleeves (full length is fine too)<br /> No pockets, dangling ties or other embellishments</p> <p>Believe it or not, I bought it from Ann Taylor Loft in 2004 or 2005.</p> <p>I'm not so happy with the Halogen girlfriend cardigans I bought at NAS. The pocket bulk is getting on my nerves and I feel the length makes me look frumpy. If I could find an alternative, I'd return the red one that hasn't been worn yet.</p> <p>If anyone has come across my dream cardigan in their shopping expeditions, please do share. Thanks in advance! </p>
