It's short and fitted enough, but the lace puckers weirdly in different places, not very flattering. And the blazer did work out (and is a lot more stylish). Well, it was worth a try... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-836370 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:01:59 +0000 pil 836370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's really pretty, Astrid. I hope it works out for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-836359 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:51:53 +0000 unfrumped 836359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I struggle with cardigan fits as it seems to require different fits for dresses vs pants and so on. I think the lace is very nice. My one concern from the photo is whether this one<br /> is not fitted enough or possibly short enough for a dressy dress. Again it depends on how you like things to fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-836315 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:27:28 +0000 Amy 836315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-836243 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:36:19 +0000 Astrid 836243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mona! I'm going to post some K/R pictures when it arrives, together with the blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-836230 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:26:40 +0000 Mona 836230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am late here and you have probably already ordered this but I just wanted to say that the cardi does not look frumpy at all. I can't wait to see how you wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-836194 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:59:07 +0000 Astrid 836194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your input! I'm going to order it now, I think you're right and it is worth a try. Especially at the price, like Scarlet mentioned. I definitely won't go all black, but I guess you're right and this would work for the kind of outfits I had in mind. It says in the description that the length of the size S is 56 cm, so I'm hopeful it will work over a skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-836120 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:22:44 +0000 Kristin L 836120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-836055 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:33:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 836055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty cardigan Astrid and the lace makes it dressy enough IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-836047 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:30:05 +0000 Scarlet 836047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a winner to me, as long as it is not too long when you try it on with a skirt. Good price too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-836010 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:12:14 +0000 Anonymous 836010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, it is very pretty. I love the lace material. Don't go too big on it. Cardis that are more tailored look a bit dressier. IMO. You are in Europe, black is an all season color there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-835992 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:59:24 +0000 JuneBug 835992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not frumpy at all, it's feminine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-835986 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:56:19 +0000 ManidipaM 835986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the lacy panels effectively rescue the black from deep-winter vibes --- lace always suggests spring/summer more than winter to me, somehow. </p> <p>It's a beautiful cardigan, every which way --- I'd go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-835959 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:35:05 +0000 texstyle 835959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's very pretty - not frumpy at all. And I agree black is fine but I'd pair it with some other more summery color for the wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-835947 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:24:35 +0000 Anonymous 835947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the black is fine -- it just depends on what you pair it with. All black might look a little heavy for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-835942 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:19:38 +0000 Astrid 835942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted to add, do you think the black is alright for spring/summer? Maybe a different color would be better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-835807 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:28:06 +0000 Astrid 835807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rute! I don't have a dress yet. I'm still ordering and looking, but I'm wearing my black ballet flats, so a black cardi would work well. I'd probably look for a dress that's not too light colored or has black in the pattern. Or a skirt and top. My dressy capsule is non-existent so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-835804 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:17:30 +0000 rute 835804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>frumpy? no, it's such a lovely cardigan with lace! perfect to wear with dresses. What is the color of the dress you are planning to take? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cardigan-purchase-for-dressy-outfits#post-835799 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:07:28 +0000 Astrid 835799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking for pieces to wear to two dressy events later in the year (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-on-syc-but-planning-ahead-for-two-dressy-events" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ssy-events</a>).</p> <p>What about this cardigan? <a href="http://www.esprit.de/sale/damenmode/pullover-strick/strickjacken-kurz/feinstrick-cardigan-K23822_001" rel="nofollow">http://www.esprit.de/sale/dame.....K23822_001</a> Do you think this has potential, or is it frumpy? </p> <p>The black blazer I wrote about in the other thread came btw, but it was too big. It had potential though, so I odered a smaller size to try. </p>
