I'm gonna live watching you try it.<br /> Puts me in mind of dusters and Long Rider coats, but not in a bad way. Fit and drape very important. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/superlong-cardi-on-petite-gals#post-1476393 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 04:05:57 +0000 jackiec 1476393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fell in love with that cardi on OneLittleMomma's blog too!!! I agree that if the proportions are right it can totally work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/superlong-cardi-on-petite-gals#post-1476372 Sat, 18 Apr 2015 03:23:53 +0000 gryffin 1476372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - I bought the EF maxi cardigan and I'm only 5'3"&nbsp; I do prefer it with a bootie with a heel, but it's so sleek I think, and other reviewers agree, it makes you look taller!&nbsp; You should try one on!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/superlong-cardi-on-petite-gals#post-1476286 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 23:21:12 +0000 Style Fan 1476286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great look!&nbsp; I agree with others that proportions are the key. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/superlong-cardi-on-petite-gals#post-1476274 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 23:04:34 +0000 Caro in Oz 1476274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Angie - the bare leg really works imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/superlong-cardi-on-petite-gals#post-1476273 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 23:04:15 +0000 Staysfit 1476273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Aida's looks also provide some great examples of a petite person successfully wearing a long sweater. It's all in the proportions. I would love to see you try this type of look. I think it would be a great option for adding variety and it looks comfortable and stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/superlong-cardi-on-petite-gals#post-1476256 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 22:41:35 +0000 DonnaF 1476256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed the blogger's mid-calf cardi is very lightweight and that her skirt is above her knees.&nbsp; I think that extra skin helps to counter the extreme length of the sweater.&nbsp; I can see you pulling off this look and where being an IT really helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/superlong-cardi-on-petite-gals#post-1476241 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 22:20:35 +0000 Aida 1476241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some examples The first two cardigans (#1-4) are good and long, knee length. The second two (#5,6) aren't quite duster length but a more manageable length for petites. I almost always have my hair up with these long cardis because that seems to add some vertical length.</p> <p>EDIT: Heel heights: 1:2" | 3:3" | 2,4,6:1" | 5:flat. Also, have worn both moderate length cardis with shorts in the past. Don't think I have any photos unfortunately.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/superlong-cardi-on-petite-gals#post-1476229 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 21:59:37 +0000 Angie 1476229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure, Una. If you keep the proportions just like our lovely blogger. That short skirt worn with heels with a high contrast top is what visually brings things back to scale on a shorter person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/superlong-cardi-on-petite-gals#post-1476212 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 21:48:25 +0000 Dee 1476212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 5'2" and I have two cardigans that are knee length that I love and wore frequently this past winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/superlong-cardi-on-petite-gals#post-1476205 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 21:44:53 +0000 Susie 1476205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am more appropriately described as short (5'1") rather than petite, but I recently bought this long cardi:</p> <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/4113265407604.jsp?cm_vc=SEARCH_RESULTS#/" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a....._RESULTS#/</a></p> <p>Hopefully it's "just flattering enough."</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/superlong-cardi-on-petite-gals#post-1476188 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 21:24:54 +0000 Aida 1476188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We sure can!

I'm no good with body flattery but there must be a way! Perhaps over a column of color, doesn't Angie say that provides a lengthening effect? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/superlong-cardi-on-petite-gals#post-1476123 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 19:18:16 +0000 KikiG 1476123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am 5'1" and I would love for the answer to be yes.&nbsp; I have a cardigan that is mid-thigh, and I adore it, and feel tall (don't laugh!)&nbsp;and slender.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/superlong-cardi-on-petite-gals#post-1476119 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 19:13:54 +0000 catgirl 1476119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVED this outfit from One Little Momma and it's very appropriate for our summer weather.&nbsp; But I don't want the usual BF length cardi.&nbsp; It's the drama of the extreme length here that appeals to me.&nbsp; At 5'1.5", can I pull off these proportions with a cardi&nbsp;&nbsp;past my&nbsp;knees this way?</p> <p><a href="http://www.onelittlemomma.com/2015/02/sunday-style-maxi-cardigan.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.onelittlemomma.com/.....digan.html</a> </p>
