It is not something I would have noticed had it not been called out to me.</p> <p>But I am wonderig if you will choose to wear it if you are not cmfortable with sequins in the daytime (I know I am not, so this is a trend I will enjoy from the sidelines!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---br-sweater---ceit-twin#post-1086074 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 14:34:23 +0000 Suz 1086074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! It looks great in natural light and I really like the neutral palette on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wonder what would happen if you sized up. Is that a possibility?&nbsp;</p> <p>The buckling could be simply a result of the heavier sequinned fabric pulling down -- a gravity issue. But that might be a bit different if the sweater fit looser overall. I don't really know for sure.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---br-sweater---ceit-twin#post-1086061 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 14:10:15 +0000 Elizabeth P 1086061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, but I don't think this is a good fit for you.&nbsp; It would bug me every time I wore it.. if it were me.&nbsp; I say return and keep looking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---br-sweater---ceit-twin#post-1086027 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 13:13:08 +0000 Alexandra 1086027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those two wrinkles from the bust to the shoulders indicate a poor fit. If I were making it from scratch, I'd adjust the pattern to correct the fit. If this were RTW, it would stay in the store (or go back there). Sorry, high standards for fit here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---br-sweater---ceit-twin#post-1085969 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 10:59:30 +0000 Anonymous 1085969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks really good on you! I don't think the puckering is an issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---br-sweater---ceit-twin#post-1085963 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 10:16:01 +0000 Hil 1085963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That puckering doesn't worry me at all! Looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---br-sweater---ceit-twin#post-1085962 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 09:34:47 +0000 Deborah 1085962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you. I see the puckering but I wonder if in movement it's not that noticeable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---br-sweater---ceit-twin#post-1085921 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 06:19:26 +0000 Tina 1085921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this top on you. I have a charcoal sweatshirt with sequins from BR and I love it, casual yet not plain. I say keep and wear with confidence! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---br-sweater---ceit-twin#post-1085915 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 06:05:02 +0000 Jeanie 1085915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had this sweater from Banana Republic for about a month. &nbsp;I spent an entire day at the mall trying on loads of&nbsp;tops and this is the only one I thought looked good and fit. &nbsp;I&nbsp;saw it on Ceit and it looked great on her. &nbsp;I am not sure about sequins in the daytime but I was trying to be fashion forward. &nbsp;I loved the colors when I tried it on in the store and was liking the fit because it actually fit in my shoulders. &nbsp;It is very hard to get something to be small enough in the shoulders and ample enough in the chest. &nbsp;However, now in the pics&nbsp;I am seeing puckers above my chest. &nbsp;Maybe this is not the right cut for me. &nbsp;What do you think? </p>
