I purchase a size medium and the torso seems long enough. I also look for 24-25" length minimum in tops, especially when I am not wearing something hi GN waisted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-the-jcrew-tippi-sweater#post-1703055 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 22:02:54 +0000 Roxanna 1703055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks @smittie for the callout! @Anne, I have abotu a dozen Tippi sweaters - if you look through my WIWs you'll find me wearing some of them. Mine are about 2 sizes too big now so I wear them oversized. I am 5'3" for reference and they come to mid-hip on me, so they may be too short for you. I typically wear them with thin silk blouses or camisoles underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-the-jcrew-tippi-sweater#post-1703052 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 22:00:57 +0000 Suz 1703052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forum member Sveta who is very tall has a Tippi sweater. I don't own one but I have tried a few. As others say, they are more like tops than sweaters and you may want to size up from your regular J. Crew size to avoid a super snug fit. Lovely, though. Angie wears them a lot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-the-jcrew-tippi-sweater#post-1703029 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:43:54 +0000 Anonymous 1703029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's no tall option, unfortunately. J. Crew has loads of options in suiting, pants, jeans, dresses and buttoned shirts, but beyond that, nada. Oh well.</p> <p>If you're 5'5", the Tippi might not work for me. I'm 5'10". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-the-jcrew-tippi-sweater#post-1703020 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:39:06 +0000 Muffin 1703020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And not itchy to me. I think my base layer helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-the-jcrew-tippi-sweater#post-1703014 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:37:17 +0000 Muffin 1703014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a bunch of tippi sweaters- I like the 3/4 sleeve and merino wool. It would be amazing if it were a v-neck but the crew is nice too. I agree with Smittie that it is more like a top. They are thin so if you wear a patterned shirt or one with breast pockets it looks bad. I typically wear the Uniqlo heat-tech undershirts (they really need to come out with a 3/4 sleeve one). I have purchased both my regular size and one size up- I hand wash and find there is some shrinkage. Does JCrew offer a tall option? I am 5'5" and they hit at hip/high hip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-the-jcrew-tippi-sweater#post-1703010 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:33:31 +0000 Anonymous 1703010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Smittie. I'll look for that post. I'd want to wear it more like a top. Reviews on jcrew.com mention the tight arms, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-the-jcrew-tippi-sweater#post-1703003 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:21:54 +0000 Anonymous 1703003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forum member Roxanna posted her tippi sweater about two posts ago. It fits her a little bigger than what you normally see on the internet.<br /> I sized up one size past my usual, and was able to get the arms to be less tight. There is also good length in the torso.</p> <p>You can't wear this with much on underneath. It is very, very thin. It is more like a top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-about-the-jcrew-tippi-sweater#post-1702932 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 19:27:36 +0000 Anonymous 1702932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the pictures I see on the internet show the Tippi (not the cardigan) worn kind of form-fitting, preppy and precious, which isn't my style. I love the wide range of colors it comes in, however. For those familiar with the Tippi sweater, would it work for a tall person? I need my tops to be at least 25-26" long. Would it work to wear it oversized if I sized up? Is it itchy?&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
