Well, the tags are off and I am debuting it today. Stay tuned for my weekly WIW!:-)<br /> I really got used to this neck... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-795033 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:39:26 +0000 Deborah 795033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the cream sweater on you Sveta. The neck is meant to be like this and perhaps a steam and just play with it a little until it feels right for you. The neck gives it a slightly RATE and cool vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-795018 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 09:27:55 +0000 Ornella 795018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not reading the rest of your post yet or the other comments and have no idea what the outcome of this is, just wanted to highlight this:</p> <p><em>"...what is wrong with my neck? Really I feel like a freak..."</em></p> <p>What's maybe wrong is what's above that neck It's all about <strong><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-definite-my-self-perception-has-changed-completely">perception</a></strong> - it's not our body that's wrong, only the garment can be wrongly made for it.</p> <p>Now, off to finish the read... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794617 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 20:37:51 +0000 Jjsloane 794617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the cream sweater is gorgeous on you. I hever even looked at myself from the back (but I have long hair that would cover it) but I vote join us on Team Front and don't worry about the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794608 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 20:21:25 +0000 Inge 794608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too think this looks gorgeous on you, Sveta, no need to be worried at all about the collar (or your beautiful neck:-). Happy to read that the tags are off. Enjoy your new pullover!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794533 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:05:06 +0000 Vicki 794533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello pretty Sveta in the pretty sweata! I love it and kudos to your son! I'm about to go to Gap to compare a size up. I don't know what to tell you about the funnel neck space as I didn't look at my backside or take the cool additional photos like you and Inge did. Love both sweaters on you and thanks for posting this link. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794294 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:33:55 +0000 missvee 794294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you mean about the neck but agree that it will soften as you wear it. Someone on the forum has this sweater and folded the neck down. That looked very smart too. Glad you decided to keep it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794164 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 04:49:36 +0000 Lisa 794164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think this neck style is supposed to fit streamlined like a turtleneck, it's supposed to be loose. I like it, but if your eye cannot adjust you will have to pass. This is lovely on you though especially with those booties. I like the second sweater too, but if it is too tight pass on it. Too many other sweaters to settle on a sub par one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794154 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 04:32:50 +0000 JuneBug 794154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look perfect to me! The neck on the cream sweater is supposed to do that, and I think even if you go a size smaller it will stand out, but marginally less than this one, so no real difference there. I love the blue sweater too and think this fit is nicer than a slouchy one in this striped pattern would be! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794152 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 04:31:31 +0000 Day Vies 794152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots are fabulous! They are a cool exclamation point on a sophisticated yet simple outfit. </p> <p>I like the white sweater more, but that does not mean that the blue/gray is not also a winner. I just love the long lean proportions of both outfits. NICE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794115 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 03:44:07 +0000 Amy 794115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not you, Sveta. The neck did that on me too.for the record, I think it looks good on you. This is an unusual shape for a sweater, so it's going to take a little getting used to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794094 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 03:02:51 +0000 Thistle 794094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them both on you, but especially the cream one.</p> <p>I think the neck is supposed to look as it does, not like a normal turtleneck. I would definately keep the cream one. It is so pretty on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794087 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 02:51:24 +0000 Suz 794087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I think the neck will relax into itself, if you know what I am saying. I think if you pull it a tiny bit at the front (just the neck) and shrug your shoulders a bit, it will just "settle" after half an hour or thereabouts. It looks fantastic on you overall, and is great with those booties. </p> <p>I also love the blue stripe. I am sorry the arms don't work, but hope you will try the other size, because the overall concept is super for you. </p> <p>You are building some excellent casual capsule elements here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794071 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 02:16:51 +0000 Sveta 794071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I am getting used to this neck...I ripped off the tag from the cream sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794036 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 01:38:50 +0000 Carole 794036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried this sweater, too, Sveta, and decided against it because of the neck. It just looked wierd on me, too wide or something, just not flattering. I see what you mean from behind, but it looks good from the front. I love the blue stripe sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794035 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 01:36:50 +0000 Glory 794035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not just saying it - I think the cream sweater is so lovely on you. I hope you keep it as I think you would have many styling opps with it. I love the colours and fit of the blue one also so hope that the size up sleeves won't be as tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794031 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 01:28:39 +0000 Jaime 794031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater with the python booties look fantastic. I see what you mean about the neck from the side but I think it is fine and you should wear the heck out of both sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794029 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 01:26:35 +0000 annagybe 794029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that style of neck. I think it looks very current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794015 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 01:06:49 +0000 Sveta 794015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't say just to cheer me up, no? :-)<br /> Maybe I need to adjust my eyes to this neck. It is just so weird that nobody else seems to have this problem but myself...<br /> Maybe I should steam it out a bit and try again...<br /> I hope the blue sweater in XL has wider armholes. I like it a lot... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794009 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:57:24 +0000 Atlantia 794009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love this cream sweater on you, and the neck looks fine. Your neck is lovely, and the neckline of the sweater is NOT making anything look weird.<br /> Sorry you aren't getting the fit you want on the stripe sweater. I like the colors, so I hope you have luck funding something that is better for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-794007 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:54:49 +0000 Vildy 794007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about if you had a thin print scarf wrapped closely around your neck so that it sticks up about as much as shirt collar. Or in fact a shirt. That kind of neck leaves room for some<br /> bit of frippery in the opening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-793998 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:48:02 +0000 Angie 793998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Deb said.</p> <p>The L Tall was the 100% right size to get!!</p> <p>Loving the blue too!! Woohooo!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-793991 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:38:21 +0000 deb 793991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The neck looks fine to me. I think it is the style of the sweater. It looks great on you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-793988 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:34:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 793988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief Sveta - you are not a freak! I think the cream sweater is gorgeous on you - truly I do. The neck of the sweater is like that - check out the others who have it. I think the size is perfect and it will work incredibly well with your wardrobe and style. See what others say, but I really like it.</p> <p>The striped one...yeah, I tried that one on too and it fit weird. I say return if it's too tight in the arms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-gap-sweater-has-arrived#post-793979 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:26:01 +0000 Sveta 793979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My son ordered it for my birthday and it arrived today - just 2 days late.<br /> This is L Tall. The sleeves are LONG (no complains here) and the length is good too, no? I don't think I should size up in it, it is quite roomy. But...<br /> ...what is wrong with my neck? Really I feel like a freak. It looks OK from the front - more or less - but look at the side and back view! And my neck is not scrawny at all, not thick but not thin either, kind of average.<br /> I am so heartbroken, I cannot wear it like this, can I? I guess if I size down to M the neck may fit better but then I would loose the slouchy fit which I like...Grrrrr!!!!<br /> I wonder if I pulled it too much back and that's why neck sticks out on the back...but I thought it supposed to be longer in the back...<br /> I also ordered another sweater in L Tall and it is too small. I have tried M in the store - they did not have anything else - and it was close fitting so I though L should be fine. Armholes are on the tight side even if it is not too tight in the body. I have ordered XL today but if the sleeves will be as tight I think I would have to pass - I cannot stand a sweater with tight sleeves!</p> <p>All in all it looks like I am not that lucky in sweater shopping,...:-( </p>
