I see some gaping at the buttons. Albeit I have a dress like this and keep it. It’s not a fit thing with the dress - it’s cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardi-contender#post-2244572 Sun, 19 Dec 2021 11:30:14 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2244572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such creativity you have! This cardi seems like great material to work with—it’s got personality, but not so much that it limits what you can do with it. I really like it with the jeans and floral top.<br /> We can be obi twins! I think I’m going to make one out of some of my dad’s ties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardi-contender#post-2244565 Sun, 19 Dec 2021 06:39:57 +0000 Sloper 2244565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great idea to turn it around to wear as a dress!&nbsp; Also I like it with the jeans.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardi-contender#post-2244557 Sun, 19 Dec 2021 03:15:44 +0000 Karie 2244557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty and versatile. I like it as a dress worn with the buttons in front. Not too sure about wearing it with the buttons in back because if it was me, a button would accidentally unbutton itself and… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardi-contender#post-2244547 Sun, 19 Dec 2021 02:17:41 +0000 Jenn 2244547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. &nbsp;This is actually really similar to my long cardigan in all but color.

Looks fab as a dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardi-contender#post-2244537 Sun, 19 Dec 2021 00:06:24 +0000 Irina 2244537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great cardi and it’s in my favorite color! I like it more than camel, actually.<br />I think it looks wonderful on you as a cardi. As a dress it’s OK, too. I would be bothered with buttons gaping on the lower half but it’s my pet peeve.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardi-contender#post-2244533 Sat, 18 Dec 2021 23:27:33 +0000 kellygirl 2244533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! Great cut and fit. Love it especially over the jeans and tee! It looks fab as a dress as well. I’m not sure about it backwards. I’d be nervous about something unbuttoning…but that’s me. I am also not sure I’d like sitting on buttons. It’s a flattering cool tone neutral—it could be even more versatile than a camel color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardi-contender#post-2244532 Sat, 18 Dec 2021 23:18:01 +0000 slim cat 2244532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks nice - love the belted outfit #1 and the look with graphic tee and jeans in #3 ( perfect tee! ). <br />Belt in #1 works well ( obi should be great too ) and the #5-6 is fun possibility ( necklace/brooch in the front?.. ). Nice find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-cardi-contender#post-2244531 Sat, 18 Dec 2021 23:01:02 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2244531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="https://www.livefashionable.com/collections/sweaters/products/elizabeth-midi-cardigan" rel="nofollow">https://www.livefashionable.co.....i-cardigan</a></p> <p>I have been looking for a long, camel button up cardigan. This one from Able is a contender, even tnough it's more of a mushroom color than the camel I was hoping for. The fabric is soft and cozy, and the cut is right. It seems versatile- works over dresses and pants, buttoned and unbuttoned, can be worn as a dress or topper and possibly forward or backward. I have been considering an obi belt, and I think it would work well with this sweater- better than the thin belts I have now .<br /> Thoughts and opinions? (sorry for the dark photos and fingerprints on my mirror!) </p>
