In EF I will try XS when I need all the length I can get in the item, and PS when I want boxier or shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-on-halogen-cashmere-sweater-and-ef-sweater#post-1828009 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 21:49:07 +0000 Suz 1828009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah -- good information, <b>Pree</b> -- thank you! Hmmm. Maybe Angie will weigh in since she has met me in person.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-on-halogen-cashmere-sweater-and-ef-sweater#post-1828006 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 21:42:26 +0000 Pree 1828006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Suz!&nbsp; I just received that EF sweater in PS and I am a 6-8 on top so I think the PP may suit you better.&nbsp; I love the sweater and I hope it works for you.&nbsp; I bought the sleeveless shell to go with it as well since the side slit went up quite high at the waist.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-on-halogen-cashmere-sweater-and-ef-sweater#post-1827999 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 21:15:18 +0000 Suz 1827999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, <b>Joy </b>-- that's what I was thinking. I was thinking I'd order PS because I did have two EF items in PP that felt a bit small on me -- as you said, I could wear them, but they didn't feel as generous as I would like. This makes sense. You are the EF queen and we are similar body types so thank you for your help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-on-halogen-cashmere-sweater-and-ef-sweater#post-1827995 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 21:04:09 +0000 Anonymous 1827995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IN EF, usually a PP is a little smaller overall than a regular XS. A petite S is closer to a regular XS in size. In some knits like tees, a PP is actually a bit too tight on me than I'd like, although I can still wear it. I don't know about this particular sweater, but the length looks rather dramatic and a petite size may work better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-on-halogen-cashmere-sweater-and-ef-sweater#post-1827994 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 21:01:24 +0000 Suz 1827994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm worried about that, too, Lisa. Cashmere can pill terribly. My Pure Amici burgundy cardigan from a few years back is pilled in places but I still adore it and will just keep wearing and trying to remove them till it gets threadbare. But it's tough to think about plonking a lot of money on something that wears out in one season.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-on-halogen-cashmere-sweater-and-ef-sweater#post-1827976 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 19:52:47 +0000 Anonymous 1827976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boy that EF asymmetric sweater is a beauty. I too like the Halogen one, but honestly fear major pilling. &nbsp;I've convinced myself that's a good reason not to buy it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-on-halogen-cashmere-sweater-and-ef-sweater#post-1827964 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 19:03:53 +0000 Suz 1827964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Kathie! -- helpful. I am pretty sure petite would be a better proportion for me. The question is, do I pounce now on xs/S and then send it back if I also find the petite, or wait? It wouldn't be a problem if I lived in the US but I am ordering into Canada, so I'll have to pay to send back...decisions decisions..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-on-halogen-cashmere-sweater-and-ef-sweater#post-1827963 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 19:01:55 +0000 Kathie 1827963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the Halogen one in the regular XS/S. I'm 5'6", and it hits me just above mid-knee, if that helps you get a sense of the length.</p> <p>ETA- the model wearing the dress is similar to the length on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-on-halogen-cashmere-sweater-and-ef-sweater#post-1827948 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 18:37:28 +0000 Suz 1827948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So. I waited too long, thinking Halogen items would be restocked -- I wanted to hear from Angie and others about sizing on this sweater to know whether to order petite. And now it's gone in petite. I've been stalking to no avail.&nbsp;</p> <p>If anyone has seen it or tried it IRL, will regular Xs/S work on my barely 5'4" almost petite frame? That is available. Otherwise, I might just keep stalking or look in Toronto when I am there next week, although I guess they won't have petite sizes either.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, would I be a P in the EF sweater? And if so, which P? Or regulat XS?&nbsp; </p>
