Thanks for the great idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765836 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 00:38:21 +0000 JR 765836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cool idea! I have a black cardigan I will try this with when it emerges from the laundry. Otherwise I would be running to try it now.</p> <p>I love the cap too. I have a men's wool cap that is a wee bit similar, but has actually gotten too big. :o( Hubby shudders when I wear it, but he grins and bears it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765737 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 21:53:06 +0000 Anonymous 765737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've belted over cardigans like this that were too big. Actually I'm considering doing the opposite of what you have done. I have a dark bown Eileen Fisher wrap jersey top with ties attached to tie in front after wrapping. My small bust and wrap tops, I now realize, do not work together. I'm planning to cut the ties and wear the top like an open cascading cardi because it fits otherwise and I could use a cardi of that weight and color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765735 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 21:52:00 +0000 amiable 765735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Wow!

It is so nice to see evidence of this on Audrey Hepburn of all people. </p> <p>I just love discovering/rediscovering different ways of wearing clothes so that the pieces are more versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765666 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 19:46:16 +0000 Jenava 765666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I did this to one of my sweaters that was too big. Sometimes I would pin it with a brooch near the waistline as well. This is so cute on you!</p> <p>I think Angie has done this with an oversize button-down shirt, as well, as an alternative to knotting it at the waist. It seems like there was a vintage photo that inspired this, but I can't remember exactly...</p> <p>ETA - AHA! I've found it:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-have-you-tried-the-audrey-wrapped-shirt-look-yet" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....t-look-yet</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765665 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 19:45:14 +0000 claracluck 765665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you clever girl.......just nipping to my wardrobe to try with a few of my cardis! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765651 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 19:28:49 +0000 ElleH 765651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea it looks good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765616 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 18:29:10 +0000 Mellllls 765616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765613 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 18:25:56 +0000 Parsley 765613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea, DV! </p> <p>You look so good in that hat, it's just killing me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765547 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 16:47:48 +0000 Day Vies 765547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi All --</p> <p>Yes I just tied the ends in the back. Because the material is so fine (not thin) it was quite comfortable. If you are smaller than I am you might be able to bring the ends back around the front and tie it off to the side. </p> <p>Here are some pictures to show what the tie looked like in the back. I know they aren't close ups but I think you will get a better idea of what was going on back there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765543 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 16:43:24 +0000 Thistle 765543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great solution!</p> <p>Love the ensemble, especially with the hat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765538 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 16:34:39 +0000 bj1111 765538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SASSY!</p> <p>much love for this look, esp with the jaunty cap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765536 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 16:28:02 +0000 Susie 765536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea! I too am curious what you did with the ends in the back.</p> <p>You are so pretty </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765533 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 16:25:41 +0000 Carole 765533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that's so clever and you look so beautiful. I think I may have a similar cardigan and I'm going to give that a try. Did you just tie it in back? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765530 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 16:21:05 +0000 deb 765530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea. I will definitely keep this in mind. You look great and I love you in a hat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765524 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 16:12:13 +0000 Raisin 765524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow what a transformation! Love it! And now, I am going to file that one away in MY brain for later...hehe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/waterfall-cardi-springs-back-from-the-brink-of-death-good-as-new#post-765521 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 16:10:19 +0000 Day Vies 765521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>About 2 years ago, I was taking a class where one of the students was about 5’9” tall wore a maxi skirt and a waterfall cardigan that was wrapped around her waist and working overtime as a wrap top. I loved the idea and filed it away in the back of my brain. </p> <p>Fast forward 2 years and I finally tried it out myself this summer when I realized I had a waterfall cardigan of my own that I wasn’t wearing because it is just a wee bit too big. So I took the edges of my cardigan pulled them in opposite directions around my waist and voila! instant adjustable wrap top. I really like that this cardigan is made out of a mid-weight knit jersey. The material is fine enough to be worn as a blouse over my skirts for work (no peek-a-boo cleavage either!) or it can be dressed down with jeans (see below). </p> <p>Has anyone else done this before? </p>
