In any case it's a great piece - hope for more outfits with it later, after your travels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-curve-cardigan#post-2083511 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 18:28:05 +0000 rachylou 2083511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where was I two months ago?

I was afraid of that. I’m a 32D but a pretty short waist. Your torso is probably at least 2” longer than mine based on our height differences. It looks so good on you, and I am so obsessed with it I may take a chance with the free returns, but I’m trying hard to be environmentally conscious about things like shippingso will wait until I am ordering other things.&nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>Does the slate have a blue tint like the Nordstrom Find photo or is it more grey in real, like the Universal Standard photo ?<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.universalstandard.com/products/curve-cardi-slate">https://www.universalstandard......ardi-slate</a></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-curve-cardigan#post-2083485 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 17:27:36 +0000 Teresa 2083485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karen, I’m traveling right now so I can’t measure it for you. I’ll try to remember to do that when I get home. I haven’t washed it yet, but the material is smooth, silky almost, and hasn’t shown wear so far. I tend to wear it almost as a top, with a camisole or t shirt underneath.</p> <p>I am 5’6”, and with a long torso, 32E bust (which takes up some room in length). I suspect it’d be too long for a petite if you have a shorter torso...which is a bummer, I know. Not sure if shrinking is the ticket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-curve-cardigan#post-2083484 Mon, 09 Dec 2019 17:22:47 +0000 karen13 2083484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Teresa - It looks gorgeous on you! I&nbsp;missed This post when I was traveling all October. &nbsp;I have been wanting that cardigan for months since I first saw it on YLF. But I am 5’2” and was afraid it would swamp me in length.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>How tall are you? &nbsp;Can you give the measurements of the &nbsp;Back of neck to hem, and neck point to end of sleeve cuff, and underarm to underarm &nbsp;I’m typically a 4P in tops.&nbsp;</p> <p>also how has it held up in terms of wear. Have you washed it? I’m hoping I might be able to intentionally petitify it with some shrinkage, but a risky strategy for a pricey piece.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-curve-cardigan#post-2065172 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 14:31:54 +0000 Teresa 2065172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, thanks!

I really like it. It has lots of style and is certainly not your mother’s cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/universal-standard-curve-cardigan#post-2064723 Sat, 28 Sep 2019 00:48:19 +0000 Janet 2064723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t even like cardigans as a rule, but I really like that one!

It looks great on you.

I ordered the Curve Cardi, a merino wool cardigan with the look of being double breasted. It isn’t really—there’s only one row of buttons with no internal button to secure it on the inside. The fabric is wonderful, smooth, medium weight, non scratchy merino from Italy. I ordered the 2XS, which translates to a size 6-8. That’s on the higher end of the sizes I typically wear, FYI, so if you want a nice drape to the fit I’d order the larger of your two sizes. It’s a definite keeper for me. I like it both open and closed. Sorry for my smeary mirror pics! Naturalizer snake shoes as a bonus, they come in narrows and are super comfortable right out of the box. </p>
