For a while I thought it was just because of my aging skin, but I suspect if I still had those decades old cashmere sweaters I bought in London they wouldn't itch now as they didn't itch then. (I had a cat that wanted to be a fur collar--hard on sweaters. Otherwise I suspect I'd still have them.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-5#post-2074426 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 16:19:28 +0000 Angie 2074426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Itchy knitwear is intolerable.

The Talbots top looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-5#post-2073667 Thu, 31 Oct 2019 08:56:34 +0000 rachylou 2073667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh well.

If I had a high neck tank top it might not be an issue.<br />i tried putting a white collared shirt under it—a bit stuffed and wrinkly looking! Had not thought of a half-tuck, hmmm.<br />Thanks again for the feedback! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-5#post-2073629 Thu, 31 Oct 2019 03:55:03 +0000 Gigi 2073629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw... :(</p> <p>I bought this sweater last year, and it's a good example of how online product pages never tell the full story. I think this sweater was designed to be kind of a T-shirt substitute, one that you can tuck or semituck, hence the lightweight material.</p> <p>On mine, the intarsia heart was designed to be raised up off the sweater, and it has a different texture. I didn't notice bad joining to the rest of the sweater, but again, mine was bought last year so they might have taken shortcuts this year.</p> <p>I'm glad you found something you liked at Talbot's, though! </p> <p>ETA: The sweater did look cute on you. Did you try semitucking it? Or maybe it feels so itchy that you don't want to bother.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-one-that-got-away-5#post-2073622 Thu, 31 Oct 2019 03:19:03 +0000 ladypainter 2073622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>just sent the J Crew leopard heart sweater back today (cry a little tear). A bit itchy around the neck and cuffs, *very* thin, intarsia-knit heart (good!) has bulky, uneven join with rest of sweater (bad). Shows lumps &amp; bumps.<br />Awfully darn cute, though.&nbsp;<div>Good news—Talbot’s Audrey cashmere: very soft, thin but substantial, print, but high quality color.<br /></div> </p>
