UK based.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-a-cardigan-frustrations#post-1539227 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 21:43:51 +0000 tulle 1539227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've noticed that lightweight cardigans have been very hard to find this Summer (not good, because I tend to wear them out &amp; replace them each year) but I bought 3 nice ones on sale recently (at Ann Taylor &amp; J.Crew) so I feel a little more secure now. The trend toward oversize tops may be inhibiting the cardigan supply, as it's harder to fit sweaters over tops with extra fabric at the armholes and sleeves. Joy's suggestion about dressy ponchos reminded me of the many pretty kimono-style jackets available now, often in light, scarf-print fabrics--easy to pack, with a flattering drapefor those with larger busts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-a-cardigan-frustrations#post-1539155 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 19:53:51 +0000 Jeweled 1539155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried looking for blazers made from knit fabric?&nbsp; They'd be more packable and probably cozier to wear than woven blazers.&nbsp; They'd also be comfy during the transportation parts of your trip.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-a-cardigan-frustrations#post-1539154 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 19:53:16 +0000 Anonymous 1539154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe light weight dressy poncho style would work. No sleeves to worry about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-a-cardigan-frustrations#post-1539145 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 19:45:16 +0000 always trying 1539145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be going on a short trip next month.&nbsp; The attire for the evenings will be business and business casual.&nbsp; Some events will be in the frigid hotel conference rooms. Since blazers are more difficult and take up too much room to pack, I have decided a nice new cardi will be the answer.&nbsp; Well everything I find is either too long, too short, too skinny sleeves, fabric to thin or too heavy, too much up front for old big busty me, or wrong colors.&nbsp; When by chance I do find something it is out in my size,&nbsp;it is under the juniors (definitely too skinny arms), or is in tall or plus size</p> <p>Just venting!!.</p>
