That comment about gamine sparkle from Isabel. That is great!<br /> Really love your new bag and scarf. I don't think I have seen you in floral before. It suits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sweater--is-the-fit-good-or-bad-im-not-sure-plus-new-bag-and-scarf#post-1642354 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 23:00:31 +0000 Anonymous 1642354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your feedback.<br />Staysfit - You're right that the ribbing is quite chunky. It is not feminine, and I generally like feminine looks. I'm hoping the scarf and bag add some prettiness. And I couldn't be happier with the watery, summery hues in the scarf. I thought you might like it too.</p> <p>Diane - If the sweater starts to bug me, I'll pull on it a bit out of the wash and try the ironing trick. Thanks!</p> <p>Rabbit - I'm glad you like this outfit! Yes, the 'resting on the belt buckle' scenario is what I had in mind for this sweater. I like the 'rest' rather than the 'tuck'.&nbsp;</p> <p>Kiwigal, kellygirl - thank you</p> <p>Secret squirrel - yes, Smittie Dog told me he approves of the jumper, and wants to sleep on it. I said no of course ;-)</p> <p>JAileen, Sterling, and Momo - thank you.</p> <p>Isabel - "gamine sparkle" -- you have a great way with words. I'll have to remember this phrase while shopping, as in, "does this piece add enough gamine sparkle?" :-)</p> <p>Janet - my pug waves a paw!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sweater--is-the-fit-good-or-bad-im-not-sure-plus-new-bag-and-scarf#post-1642324 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 21:28:12 +0000 Momo 1642324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sweater on you.<br /> Beautiful bag and scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sweater--is-the-fit-good-or-bad-im-not-sure-plus-new-bag-and-scarf#post-1642306 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 21:00:18 +0000 Anonymous 1642306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stopped reading the text after the part about the men's section because I thought it might influence my reaction to the visuals. Completely unnecessary precaution because you look adorable.<br />The folding at the waist isn't a problem for me if it isn't for you and you look lovely from head to toe. It's even possible that the folding adds to that gamine sparkle and is a plus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sweater--is-the-fit-good-or-bad-im-not-sure-plus-new-bag-and-scarf#post-1642293 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 20:42:31 +0000 Anonymous 1642293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater on you. &nbsp;BUT I really love the scarf and the purse. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sweater--is-the-fit-good-or-bad-im-not-sure-plus-new-bag-and-scarf#post-1642290 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 20:40:26 +0000 JAileen 1642290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit looks good.

I have that issue with the band of a couple of sweaters, and it only bothers me if the blousing is excessive. This looks like a good fit on you.

Straight hemmed sweaters that don't gather into the body at the bottom or have a band and end mid-hip aren't my favorite look unless I'm wearing a column of color.</p> <p>I'm always washing my sweaters and trying to gather the bottom hem in when they dry so I get more of this effect &nbsp; Most sweaters loosen out a little with wear too, so that might give you a happy middle-ground. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sweater--is-the-fit-good-or-bad-im-not-sure-plus-new-bag-and-scarf#post-1642212 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 18:16:10 +0000 Anonymous 1642212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're welcome Smittie. I have a cotton sweater that is the same and I always steam the rib out when I've washed it. Being a natural fibre it can handle it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sweater--is-the-fit-good-or-bad-im-not-sure-plus-new-bag-and-scarf#post-1642209 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 18:12:50 +0000 Staysfit 1642209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colors in the scarf best. I was thinking there is something too chunky looking about the sweater, or too textured maybe? I'm not sure. I can't exactly decide. The bag is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sweater--is-the-fit-good-or-bad-im-not-sure-plus-new-bag-and-scarf#post-1642204 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 18:07:37 +0000 Anonymous 1642204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great ideas, Diane, thank you!&nbsp;<br />Thank you jill58! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sweater--is-the-fit-good-or-bad-im-not-sure-plus-new-bag-and-scarf#post-1642201 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 18:06:08 +0000 jill58 1642201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit of the sweater and think it looks great on you.

The fits looks pretty good elsewhere. You know, if you decide to keep it, what you could do when you first wash it is to stretch out the ribbed edge at the bottom widthways whilst it's still wet and let it dry like that. It'll then be less tight and stay put instead of riding up too high. You could also get the ribbed edge on the ironing board and pin it out wider, then steam it with the iron to set the rib wider too and take some of the 'spring' out of it.</p> <p>Love the new scarf and bag! Gorgeous colours! Great outfits too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-sweater--is-the-fit-good-or-bad-im-not-sure-plus-new-bag-and-scarf#post-1642190 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 17:41:31 +0000 Anonymous 1642190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you think of the fit at the waist of this sweater? Would you be OK with the folding that is happening there? I can straighten out the sweater but it always rides up, as the picture shows.<br /> I found it in the men's section at the GAP and it seems that men's sweaters are cut small at the waist (which kind of makes sense!).<br /> This sweater is 100% cotton and will shrink up a bit.<br /> Also check out my new bag and scarf!</p> <p>I went on a major hunt for sweaters yesterday and found that they are all too <i>thin</i> for my style, or if they're not too thin, they have some detail that makes them NOT a basic/essential, which is what I'm looking for.</p> <p>Pants: BR sloan (10 years old, I think)<br />Sweater: Gap&nbsp;<br />Scarf: Vince Camuto<br />Shoes: converse, the dainty version<br />Bag: Furla&nbsp;</p>
