So we will see how it fits. I do actually think I could use both colors, but I really was intending for the dark to be a winter sweater as well. Maybe with my 3/4 black top under it could be. Stay tuned! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-828012 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 01:02:58 +0000 Aida 828012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that not-quite-anything length sleeve myself, but I know I'm in the minority on that. From the photo I agree with Denise that it looks more like crochet so it'll be a bit stiffer. Totally different looking than the white one you just got! But do you need both a dark and a light deconstructed-type sweater? If you will wear the white one a LOT, enough that you'll wish you had another to rotate with then it might be worth getting. Also, by summer will you be in FL or Tahoe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-827829 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 21:05:43 +0000 Mo 827829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I got the white yesterday, but now I am waffling on the grey/black one. I think it's the sleeve. Not quite long, not quite short. I wonder if I would be 'settling' or if it will be great and I won't know if I don't try. Argh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-827113 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 02:41:02 +0000 bj1111 827113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>girl math!</p> <p>the ikat would be great! you could do white or black cami depending on the look you want. then you'r set for black-white spring trend! ahead of the curve!</p> <p>eta...how many !!!! is that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-827059 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 01:39:14 +0000 Mo 827059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thx BJ, I can see how a contrasting color might be more interesting. I could do grey, or black or a nude cami, all of which I have in addition to the white one. I do have ikat pants, but not camo.</p> <p>EDIT: I just bought the white. Waiting on the grey/black until tomorrow. I did set aside $50 for a hi low sweater in Feb. so I am only sort of cheating on my 12 for 12 if I get both for the same $$$, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826869 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 21:11:56 +0000 bj1111 826869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you could do a white cami or you could you a black/dark cami with dark pants. i think it would look good with camo pants...am i misremembering that you have a pair? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826739 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:49:25 +0000 Mo 826739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>enabler . . . . but I was already half convinced anyway! Would a white cami work under it? I would NOT go bare as the model is lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826735 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:48:15 +0000 bj1111 826735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>get the white one! love the drape. different enough from the one you own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826642 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:38:37 +0000 Anonymous 826642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok thanks anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826635 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:36:36 +0000 Mo 826635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, Una - it's a deal! It's 25 armpit to armpit so I know it will not be too small for either of us!</p> <p>Ceit, I'd rather not say, as it's in low stock </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826631 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:35:27 +0000 catgirl 826631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it doesn't fit, I'll take it off your hands! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826630 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:34:42 +0000 Anonymous 826630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, where is that second one from, Mo? I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826628 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:33:43 +0000 Mo 826628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, it's sort of a gamble situation I think . . . the seller does offer all measurements and so I can easily take out my off white open weave one from this summer and compare (pic 2). It will be an oversize fit for me (17.5 shoulder to shoulder)<br /> I'm also SORELY tempted by this one (pic 1) but I already have white, although not a long sleeve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826462 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 14:32:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 826462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the crochet-type detail on the sweater and think it has great potential. As for how it will drape, I think you're going to have to try it to see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826416 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 12:54:18 +0000 Glory 826416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like it quite a bit but non returnable is a tough one for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826385 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 11:55:17 +0000 Deborah 826385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this. I think sizing is key to it fitting how you want. I love the idea of the over sized fit for this. Does the seller info describe how it's meant to fit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826355 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 09:32:26 +0000 lyn67 826355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this very much, it's very different!!

Most of them unfortunately cost way too much, like Inhabit or Helmut Lang. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826310 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 04:52:55 +0000 CocoLion 826310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of like it but it looks more like a crotchet type sweater which is not loose and drapey. What is the fabric content? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826304 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 04:35:36 +0000 catgirl 826304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know, but I kind of love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826230 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 02:46:02 +0000 Mo 826230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not bought yet . . . not returnable, so I need to be pretty sure I want it. Hmmmmmm </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826219 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 02:36:20 +0000 Amy 826219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to say without feeling it, but generally looser knits like that drape pretty nicely, even if the yarn is a little on the thick side. Really thick yarn will end up looking bulky even if it's technically draping nicely.</p> <p>Is this something you bought? Can you put it on to show us how it looks? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826214 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 02:32:06 +0000 Mo 826214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would do loose and oversized or a semi tuck to mimic a hi low hem look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826212 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 02:29:50 +0000 Angie 826212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What it you semi-tuck? Or belt it? Or wear it loose and oversized? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater---too-chunky-to-drape-well#post-826207 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 02:25:55 +0000 Mo 826207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had my eye out for an open weave black or dark grey sweater. Stumbled upon this one. Just not sure it will drape as well as my white open weave one does. Am I on to something or will the weight of the knit pull it down (it's a medium and I usually wear small so I think the oversize could work in my favor - 24 inches long.) </p>
