It is more streamlined and the ruffle is so subtle that it is barely a ruffle. It is also a good length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-365368 Sun, 12 Jun 2011 13:20:34 +0000 Lyrebirdgully 365368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kappy, can I say how nice your hair looks from every angle? And compliments to the person (DH?) who takes your excellent photos.<br /> Just on design alone, (forgetting fit for a moment) I love the ruffle #1 and the tie-one #4 (minus the ties!) I’m biased against the pointy drapes on #2#3 (and #4) as my personal preference is to avoid low-hanging tasselly things that can swing as I walk, as I don’t particularly want to draw attention to my crotch area! (Shorter drapes IMO would be fine).<br /> I notice that there is a typical pear-shape fit issue with 2 of these cardies, (I have a similar problem) to do with one’s hips being wider than one’s shoulders – tops and cardies are tricky to buy, because if you get them to fit at the hips, then they are falling off and baggy at the shoulder seam and armholes. One of the things that makes the cardy Angie favoured, (which IMO looks the best from the back, and has the nicest sleeve), different from the others is that it is a tunic cut; it does not have a set-in sleeve, so you don’t have this problem with this cardy. It might be worth targeting cardis in future that have the tunic cut i.e no armhole seams (see link below, couldn’t find a summer example). The tunic cut is a softer look than the more tailored, set-in sleeve, and very feminine IMO.<br /> <a href="http://www.knittingdaily.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Components.SiteFiles/Media+Bonus+Photos.KSFall10/WehrleCardigan3.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.knittingdaily.com/r.....digan3.jpg</a><br /> PS. If you go cardy-shopping again, and you don’t find what you want in white, how about a nude/ beige/wheat colour to widen your options? This neutral has the versatility of white, and would look nice with your hair colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-363115 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 16:34:22 +0000 KristineK 363115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite. I'm not usually a fan of ruffles, but these are very understated and add fun/interest without being over the top. Plus I really like the more cropped fit on you :-). I also prefer the smaller of the Michael Kors sweaters -- the fit through the arms seems better to me (close-fitting without being too tight or with visible stretching). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-363084 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 15:42:38 +0000 kellygirl 363084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL about the "your sweater is untied" comment. That is precisely why I was on the fence about it. Undone ties like that drive me batty. It really looks nice on you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-363079 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 15:35:42 +0000 Kappy 363079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it's as clear as mud now! I have tried these sweaters on so many times now that I am beyond confused about them. And they were all about $50 - $70 so the price isn't a big factor. I could keep more than one too if I was sure I was going to wear it. I'm not a ruffle person but for some reason I like the pleated ruffles on 1/2/3 (the INC sweater), but it feels a little baggy in the shoulders on the back. If I was going to keep one of the Michael Kors sweaters I'd probably lean toward the smaller one 4/5/6/7 becuase it was $15 less and seems to have less fabric in the front "drape", but I'm not sure if the sleeves are a little snug. And I do like the cut and "stripes" of the 12-15 Jones sweater but I wonder if a longer sleeve sweater is practical here (it will be 96 here today), and I have visions of people telling me "Your sweater's untied" every time I wear it. But I have to give considerable wieght to Angie's vote!</p> <p>1/2/3 - INC International Concepts Pleated Ruffle Trim Cardi from Macy's<br /> Yes - kellygirl, CocoLion, modgrl, Alicat, rae<br /> No - thunalata</p> <p>4/5/6/7 - Michael Kors Sheer Draped Cardi from Nordstrom in XL<br /> Yes - Debora, kellygirl, yellowgirl, CocoLion, thunalata, Luckgirl322</p> <p>8/9/10/11 - Michael Kors Sheer Draped Cardi from Nordstrom in 1X<br /> Yes - thunalata, rae, Sarah</p> <p>12/13/14/15 - Jones New York from Dillards<br /> Yes - Angie, thunalata, Aunty, Joy, 3style<br /> No (untied) - Luckgirl322 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-363034 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 14:36:49 +0000 Sarah 363034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the 2nd MK sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-363015 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 14:11:15 +0000 rae 363015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 8 the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-362994 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 13:46:38 +0000 3style 362994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto on Angie's pick. If you want the option to wear it closed on the bottom, you could try a belt or one of those fabric flower brooches that are in stores right now. I agree with you with regards to knotting, for my eye, it doesn't have the ideal proportions to be knotted, as I would prefer to see on you a higher-up knot that would function as an empire waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-362986 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 13:09:47 +0000 Anonymous 362986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last one, not tied, looks like the perfect summer sweater for skirts, dresses and pants/shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-362983 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 11:48:50 +0000 Aunty 362983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Angie, the last one look great on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-362978 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 11:21:34 +0000 Anonymous 362978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No. 1 has my vote. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-362974 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 10:53:15 +0000 modgrl 362974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1, you look sleek and slim in this outfit. This is a super little cardi. The rest are nice but a little more fussy than this one.</p> <p>I just reread the other replies, the votes are all over the board. They really are all nice sweaters. Lots of good choices </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-362964 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 08:40:33 +0000 Luckygirl322 362964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 looks really good on you. I like the material and the sleeves on the last one; but I think it's pretty obvious the sweater is supposed to be tied. There just isn't enough material in the tie/drape front pieces to look correctly proportioned; the ties just hang there looking kind of wimpy. Are you sure you hate it tied? Looks like it would be cute... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-362950 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 07:59:52 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 362950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not keen on 1 - I don't find it flattering on you. I like the other two, not sure about sizing. The last one has less fabric, which might make it more versatile, and you get to scrunch the sleeves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-362918 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 05:33:36 +0000 CocoLion 362918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the first one, and I don't even like ruffles. I like the fit of it on you, very flattering. My second favorite is the size XL Michael Kors. It is more trendy than the INC sweater. Can you keep both of them? For all your fashion moods. I think you will get use out of them. I really like the way you styled them, with the white top underneath, fitted clam diggers and trendy sandals. Perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-362911 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 05:24:31 +0000 Angie 362911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the last one best!

I think the cut of 1 is very nice on you and the ruffles are not over the top. It looks uber versatile. I also like the smaller sized MK. I don't think you could go wrong with either one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-white-sweater-should-i-keep#post-362825 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 02:10:59 +0000 Debora 362825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great on you, but I think I have a slight preference for the Michael Kors cardigan in the smaller size.

These are 4 different ones I'm considering. I can't decide which, if any, I should keep. Any feelings on which is better or on white sweaters in general? I don't have any white "layers" currently. I do have one white Tommy Hilfiger jean jacket, but it's really a little too big. I think the Jones one (12/13/14/15) is actually supposed to be tied in the front which I didn't realize when I bought it (but it looks really bad tied on me) so I thought I'd try it untied.</p> <p>1/2/3 - INC International Concepts Pleated Ruffle Trim Cardi from Macy's<br /> <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=553112&#038;CategoryID=39720&#038;LinkType=#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D69" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....26spc%3D69</a></p> <p>4/5/6/7 - Michael Kors Sheer Draped Cardi from Nordstrom in XL<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/michael-michael-kors-drape-front-cardigan/3166593?origin=stylenumsearch" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mi.....enumsearch</a></p> <p>8/9/10/11 - Michael Kors Sheer Draped Cardi from Nordstrom in 1X<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/michael-michael-kors-sheer-short-sleeve-cardigan-plus/3164778?origin=stylenumsearch" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mi.....enumsearch</a></p> <p>12/13/14/15 - Jones New York from Dillards </p>
