A v-neck would be amazing. Sorry it was too itchy for you! This was a rare bird for me where I forget it's merino and keep thinking it's cotton... until I start walking too fast and heat up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-on-the-br-washable-merino-ribbed-sweater-for-a-large-bust#post-2101087 Sat, 22 Feb 2020 00:42:20 +0000 KMM 2101087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought and considered keeping, found it really flattering on busty me, but ultimately had to return because I can’t tolerate merino on or near my neck. Way too itchy. Would love to see this is in a v neck version.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-on-the-br-washable-merino-ribbed-sweater-for-a-large-bust#post-2101070 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 23:54:35 +0000 Carla 2101070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been following the rave reviews, ‘cause I do love a sweater. &nbsp;However, I have a note on my shopping/no buy list that says ‘no crew necks’. I don’t have a large bust, but I have broad shoulders. &nbsp;V-Necks and bateau necklines are more flattering IMO. &nbsp;Gotta say - I love the range of colours for this one!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-on-the-br-washable-merino-ribbed-sweater-for-a-large-bust#post-2101064 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 23:38:37 +0000 Anonymous 2101064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wrong thread - sorry </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-on-the-br-washable-merino-ribbed-sweater-for-a-large-bust#post-2101041 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 22:26:01 +0000 Anonymous 2101041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing my grey one today, and &nbsp;am totally aware that it isn't exactly flattering . &nbsp;I've mitigated that with a vest, hopefully. &nbsp;Robin - it's not really ribbed, per se, more just a flat wide rib effect . The issue on bigger busts (in my opinion anyways) is that the sweater is lightweight and slim fitting - so nowhere to hide &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-on-the-br-washable-merino-ribbed-sweater-for-a-large-bust#post-2101028 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 21:32:24 +0000 RobinF 2101028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also wondering about the ribbing on my large bust.

You styled it nicely. Really fun pants, and I just love your hair and specs.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have 5 of these, and I LOVE them. I wear them layered and un-layered. Tucked and un-tucked. They work with most of my bottoms. They wash and wear beautifully, and the colours were so spot on for my style.

I settle too easily for poor fit because I’ve come to expect it . I wear this sweater because it’s soft and comfortable without being heavy , and it works under a coat. I had to turn under the bottom welt to shorten it enough to look right . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-on-the-br-washable-merino-ribbed-sweater-for-a-large-bust#post-2100772 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 03:55:52 +0000 Jaime 2100772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-on-the-br-washable-merino-ribbed-sweater-for-a-large-bust#post-2100768 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 03:44:35 +0000 Irina 2100768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great sweater, I’m glad it works for you. It seems I’m the only one who couldn’t make it work. I ordered it in my regular size and it was a bit too fitted for my taste. Sizing up didn’t help, it added the length and proportions were off. Too bad, it is a lovely sweater indeed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-on-the-br-washable-merino-ribbed-sweater-for-a-large-bust#post-2100762 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 02:54:42 +0000 slim cat 2100762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks so good with your grey cropped pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-on-the-br-washable-merino-ribbed-sweater-for-a-large-bust#post-2100743 Fri, 21 Feb 2020 01:13:13 +0000 Gretchen 2100743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great color and thank you for the review!

Joy, I have the blue and grey and they do not pill at all. I did size up from my usual BR size because the shoulders were too narrow for me on my regular size.

How about pulling? Any thoughts yet on that?<br /> How fun that it is in a school color. We have a long cold spring (don’t plant outside until after Memorial Day due to frequent frost and even snow. Last year we had snow accumulation after Mother’s’ Day in mid May). I am thinking of the navy but it looks like a brighter, lighter blue than navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-on-the-br-washable-merino-ribbed-sweater-for-a-large-bust#post-2100706 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 22:26:09 +0000 Cee 2100706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It suits you, ma'am ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-on-the-br-washable-merino-ribbed-sweater-for-a-large-bust#post-2100700 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 22:06:45 +0000 Anonymous 2100700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colour - kind of wish I had that one too.  I am wearing my black one right now, in fact, and also own it in brown and grey (neither of which I've worn yet)  .  It's quite  conservative for my style, but it does perform a function in my wardrobe that was previously unaddressed.  I had trouble getting the fit right on this one - I have a large bust too  and because I'm anti-body-con anything, I sized up to avoid a vavoom look, which I shouldn't have done . It's now quite loose.  I also should have considered a petite to get a shorter body length.  Not sure why I thought it necessary to buy 3 of them - I get overly enthusiastic about things only to come back to earth all too soon.  Maybe washing it will shrink it a bit?</p> <p>And no, this is not the sweater I posted about earlier this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-on-the-br-washable-merino-ribbed-sweater-for-a-large-bust#post-2100687 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 21:08:42 +0000 Marilyn 2100687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yay!&nbsp; It looks great on you.&nbsp; I have the blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reporting-on-the-br-washable-merino-ribbed-sweater-for-a-large-bust#post-2100684 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 20:59:21 +0000 Christina F. 2100684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>This is not the sweater that pilled for Lisa.

I have one that is at least 2 years old and is holding up well. Little pilling. This year I bought 2 more in different colors.

The sweater felt comfortable, flattering, and didn't stretch with moving it aside for nursing or using a breast pump.</p> <p>I'm happy to report it does not cling, and though it is thin (think tee-shirt thin) and ever so slightly sheer (I had to cut off the bright white inner side seam garnet care tag, but a nude to me bra didn't show through), it is very flattering. Seems great for layering and not itchy. The arm holes are not tight or restricting. It doesn't bag out, either. It's not a true red but a bright orangey red, but it suits me and is close enough to the university's red that I kept it.</p> <p>I ordered based on the size chart and it is true to size. It arrived the day before an admissions event so I could wear school colors! The venue's restroom mirror was way better than mine and I was the only one in there, hence the sass in my pose. B-) </p> <p>If you've been considering this sweater, I'll add to the consensus that it's a good find ! </p>
