I can't see the bottom of the tank clearly, but trust that it looked even better hiked up. </p> <p>The sweater makes me think of all those wonderful Eileen Fisher sweater yarns, but hers never had such a fun edge.</p> <p>I'm continually intrigued by the heel shortening. I called one place by me and they quoted me minimum $20 for a most likely 1/4" shortening. Not worth the effort to check out here :-\ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doesnt-work-but-fun-anyway#post-679598 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 17:39:32 +0000 Angie 679598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the column of colour under the cropped sweater! These proportions work to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doesnt-work-but-fun-anyway#post-679583 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 17:32:05 +0000 harmonica 679583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like it too! like rae said </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doesnt-work-but-fun-anyway#post-679553 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 17:01:45 +0000 Diana 679553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sweater! Have been meaning to knit something with dropped stitches like that actually. </p> <p>I like the idea of wearing it over a column dress, or just a column of color in general. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doesnt-work-but-fun-anyway#post-679549 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 16:59:20 +0000 ironkurtin 679549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K - Good lord, girl, I hardly always look fab! But I appreciate your faith in me! I don't think I do own a column dress, actually...</p> <p>Rae - I hiked up the tank and it really does look much better proportionally. I took a pic in the ladies', but since this is a live post I'd have to stick it in another thread and eh.</p> <p>AJ - Nah, not warm. Warm *enough* - it's cotton. Yes, Austin Shoe Hospital on Burnet, and I think it was $12 or something, but I don't remember. Hope that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doesnt-work-but-fun-anyway#post-679526 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 16:30:06 +0000 AJ 679526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great sweater! I know it has lots of ventilation, but the chunkiness of it looks warm.</p> <p>How much did you get chopped off the heel? Was it at the Shoe Hospital? Do you mind telling me what they charged you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doesnt-work-but-fun-anyway#post-679523 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 16:25:36 +0000 rae 679523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I kinda dig the short-over-long look. I like K's idea of wearing the sweater over a column dress - taking the short/long contrast even further. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doesnt-work-but-fun-anyway#post-679499 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:54:53 +0000 K. Period. 679499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, I so appreciate you posting something that you don't feel is completely dialed in. It makes me feel better to know that things don't always work for everyone, no matter how marvelous they (and by that I mean you) always look. I love the sweater. Don't you have a black column dress? Somehow I see that sweater over one. Something long and uninterrupted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doesnt-work-but-fun-anyway#post-679487 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:40:10 +0000 ironkurtin 679487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So this sweater is a) more cropped and b) more a-line than I typically wear, but I love how it's deliberately knit to look like it's falling apart. It would probably be better over a shorter tank - note for the future!</p> <p>- Inhabit variegated-rib sweater<br /> - long black ribbed tank<br /> - Rag and Bone skinny jean trousers<br /> - Costume National sandals</p> <p>I had some of the heel chopped off of these sandals, so much more comfortable now! </p>
