No slinking away, Deb. I exchanged for an XS and will post a pic when it's lighter to see if that's any improvement. I do want a heavier sweater which is so hard to find in the right proportion. Thanks for your expert eyes!

Mr. Suz wanted to package up the returns and send them right away (he had some, too) -- so I just didn't get time to take the shot.  I think it's all a question of fabrication -- you could try the size down to compare proportions. I definitely agree with Gryffin that oversized is your look and you rock it!!  AviaMariah on "The Gap mushroom sweater, at home and Suz-esque" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-gap-mushroom-sweater-at-home-and-suz-esque#post-1390744 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 16:25:01 +0000 AviaMariah 1390744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Una - I'm not crazy about this on you either.  It looks too baggy or heavy around the bottom.  And if it stretched anymore...   I think you should definitely try the smaller size. crutcher on "The Gap mushroom sweater, at home and Suz-esque" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-gap-mushroom-sweater-at-home-and-suz-esque#post-1390529 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 12:05:50 +0000 crutcher 1390529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You really look wonderful in this sweater...However, as gryffin,said, it must make your heart sing..I would be leery about it growing...I have a thing about over-sized..where you put them on one size and wake up and they are adolescents ready for college...if you get my point..smile.. gryffin on "The Gap mushroom sweater, at home and Suz-esque" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-gap-mushroom-sweater-at-home-and-suz-esque#post-1390526 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 11:28:56 +0000 gryffin 1390526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Okay - princess oversized checking in.  I love this on you!  But I'm tunic girl.  I'd love to see this with one of your twisted minis, tights and fab rate booties.  I'd wear it with the skirted leggings, I'd love to see it with your leather leggings.  Also a long pendant or scarf works really well with this look.  But I really embrace and love this style, I do realize that others may not (which is totally ok) but I think it looks awesome on you and I think the color is very flattering. PS if it came in black I would be all over it!!  But it's a matter of taste and preference and only you can decide it you like it, but I've said it before, I think you carry off long looks with fab panache!!  But only keep what speaks to your heart!!

I'ld like to see the size down for comparison. Suz on "The Gap mushroom sweater, at home and Suz-esque" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-gap-mushroom-sweater-at-home-and-suz-esque#post-1390327 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 03:00:54 +0000 Suz 1390327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, and this is very odd....I am sure lots of your other sweaters are the same length as this. And I love all of those. It is something about the weight of the sweater and hence the way it hangs vs. drapes -- and the very rectangular bottom.  But this could be an issue all of my own making, based entirely on my past GAP experience! I love this colour with the white jeans. And I would have worn exactly that outfit if I kept the sweater!  Parsley on "The Gap mushroom sweater, at home and Suz-esque" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-gap-mushroom-sweater-at-home-and-suz-esque#post-1390272 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 02:12:09 +0000 Parsley 1390272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Looks good from the front, and I think you're better off with it slightly big instead of slightly small. I like the oversized fit right now. And omigosh- those white jeans are great on you! DonnaF on "The Gap mushroom sweater, at home and Suz-esque" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-gap-mushroom-sweater-at-home-and-suz-esque#post-1390255 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 01:44:50 +0000 DonnaF 1390255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Una, be sure to check front, back, and side.  Sometimes the front can look okay, but if too big the size and back can look HUGE.  (She says sadly, as she prepares to return a heavily discounted sweater where she failed to order two sizes so of course the size she *never* wears is long sold out.  I had to agree with DH that too big means I look a good ten pounds heavier.) catgirl on "The Gap mushroom sweater, at home and Suz-esque" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-gap-mushroom-sweater-at-home-and-suz-esque#post-1390240 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 01:15:50 +0000 catgirl 1390240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I may go in and try on the XS... Sigh.  Don't want it to grow... Suz on "The Gap mushroom sweater, at home and Suz-esque" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-gap-mushroom-sweater-at-home-and-suz-esque#post-1390232 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 01:07:10 +0000 Suz 1390232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I feel as if it is just a touch too long. But wouldn't look that way with less contrast, perhaps. But I do like the oversize fit. I liked that on me, too -- and I have a high tolerance for oversize.  I think I am "once bitten twice shy" when it comes to GAP cotton. I had the mesh sleeved sweater a few years ago and it continually stretched out on me and I ended up hating the feel of the fabric. So I may be a bit over-shy of this.  Missey on "The Gap mushroom sweater, at home and Suz-esque" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-gap-mushroom-sweater-at-home-and-suz-esque#post-1390230 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 01:03:59 +0000 Missey 1390230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it on you as well, looks elegantly casual with the white jeans! Peri on "The Gap mushroom sweater, at home and Suz-esque" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-gap-mushroom-sweater-at-home-and-suz-esque#post-1390226 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 01:00:55 +0000 Peri 1390226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it...it looks cozy and calming. I'm not sure on the difference between fluid and oversized. It does look big on you, but not in any bad way. Wow, that's helpful...sorry!! I do like it. catgirl on "The Gap mushroom sweater, at home and Suz-esque" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-gap-mushroom-sweater-at-home-and-suz-esque#post-1390216 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 00:56:35 +0000 catgirl 1390216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Interesting!  I don't mind the weight at all, since I'm not into layering.  What do you think of the fit on me? Suz on "The Gap mushroom sweater, at home and Suz-esque" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-gap-mushroom-sweater-at-home-and-suz-esque#post-1390212 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 00:55:20 +0000 Suz 1390212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ha!! Una, I got mine today. And I am sending it back. I just don't like it on me. And I find the cotton heavy and know it will stretch out. Plus -- Mr. Suz did not like the colour!! (Gasp!!)  I will try to snap a pic tomorrow. :)  catgirl on "The Gap mushroom sweater, at home and Suz-esque" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-gap-mushroom-sweater-at-home-and-suz-esque#post-1390209 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 00:53:35 +0000 catgirl 1390209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This arrived while I was at lunch.  I loved the fit in the store, but am wondering now if I should have sized down.  I expect it will shrink and I don't mind oversized, as long as it's JFE.  I feel like Suz in the taupe and white combo! Any thoughts on color and fit now that I'm in my home environment?  (Suz, you definitely need XS!)
