Second set of photos I think the cardi's are still fine. But if you don't love them then back they go. Closets are too small to have non fab items in them.

I think I'll be returning all of them and looking elsewhere. (1 and 2 are the XS, 3 and 4 are the SP) I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping the jacket in size 0 (#5 above), but just to be sure, here are some more pictures. I need to make sure the color works with the pants I would want to wear it with...

When I first looked at them, I liked the length of #1 the best. I prefer my cardis longer so that may be affecting my opinion.

I actually like 3 the least. 2 gets my vote for the cardi and 5 for the blazer. stylemama on "keep or return, an exercise in sizing!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-an-exercise-in-sizing#post-255028 Tue, 23 Nov 2010 04:17:48 +0000 stylemama 255028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm going off the beaten path here. I like #2 and #5. I like the longer length of the cardi. I know that cardigan and it's supposed to be a bit longer - though not as long as a boyfriend cardi. And I agree with those who said the petite jacket sleeves are too short. great colors on you.

ETA: I see the sleeve issue on #7. I would say then go with the 0 regular. Kate on "keep or return, an exercise in sizing!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-an-exercise-in-sizing#post-254984 Tue, 23 Nov 2010 03:14:41 +0000 Kate 254984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Kelly, 5 felt like the best fit when I was trying them on, 4 was too big and the sleeves on 6 and 7 seemed too short. I'm not sure if it would be buttoned or unbuttoned more... maybe I should take more pictures... kellygirl on "keep or return, an exercise in sizing!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-an-exercise-in-sizing#post-254980 Tue, 23 Nov 2010 03:11:12 +0000 kellygirl 254980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Cute blazers--will you be wearing them buttoned most of the time? I think I prefer #5--it looks more fitted. Are they equally comfortable? Kate on "keep or return, an exercise in sizing!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-an-exercise-in-sizing#post-254942 Tue, 23 Nov 2010 02:11:53 +0000 Kate 254942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ ok, so it looks like #3 is the cardi winner. edit: not really, now it's between #2 and #3. I agree with Mary that the sleeves on the petite blazers are too short, but QM and elpgal like their fit better... any more input on the blazers? elpgal on "keep or return, an exercise in sizing!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-an-exercise-in-sizing#post-254870 Tue, 23 Nov 2010 00:25:56 +0000 elpgal 254870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #3 and #6 look good to my eye. Some of the blazers (especially #5) are pulling in at the button.

I do love the velveteen fabric!

Love that color! I think the petite blazers are too short in the sleeves for you. Honestly, I can't tell the difference between the first two. Maybe 5 fits better in the shoulders? Anyway, I like them both! Kate on "keep or return, an exercise in sizing!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-an-exercise-in-sizing#post-254853 Mon, 22 Nov 2010 23:49:43 +0000 Kate 254853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My loft order came in. I only ordered 2 different items, but in a whole lot of sizes. First is the v-neck cardi in military green: <a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=29558&N=1200006&pCategoryId=3359&categoryId=200&Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_200&loc=TN&defaultColor=Desert%20Mauve&defaultSizeType=Regular" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....pe=Regular</a> sizes pictured are S, XS, SP (I also got the XSP but the arms were WAY too tight) Second is the velveteen blazer in cocoa: <a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=29958&N=1200011&pCategoryId=3359&categoryId=205&Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_205&loc=TN&defaultColor=Grey%20Fusion&defaultSizeType=Regular" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....pe=Regular</a> sizes pictured are 2, 0, 2P, 0P Which sizes are best? What's worth keeping? Also, sorry for the outfit I'm trying them on over - I should have changed to avoid creating the awful xmas tree look in #1-3! Oh, and the button on the blazer has white paper on top that I haven't removed. Finally, I might be taking more pictures of the cardigans... maybe fully buttoned and unbuttoned? What do you think would be helpful?
