Ask Angie: sizing on Valette sweater?

Mamapicklejuice

I adore this sweater! Should I order my usual size small? I was going order the black and green. Can you suggest a third color? Thanks for an amazing list.

They are a snug true to size. Mine are quite tight - but I did want them to cling and be form fitting for a change. If you do not want them to cling - size up.

THEY ARE GORGEOUS. Dainty, refined and timeless. I am so happy with my 3 colours

I thought coral and green for you.

I tried this one on, but wasn't sure about the crew neck for me, so I passed. But I really love this sweater, and loved the coral. What do you think?

V-necks are much better on you, Jamie. FWIW, that's what I think!

That's what I thought too -- thanks!

Ah, MPJ -- I had the exact same question. The NAS photo makes it look like they are a bit snug, and I think if I go snug, the neckline will be too "crewy" for me (i.e., it will be overly enboobening, to use Beth's term.) For me, better to be a bit more relaxed, I think.

Thank you, Angie! I thought the coral might be a good color for me but I am perusing the lists on my phone on the way to the beach, and it is hard to tell colors on a phone.

I have a swan neck so I have always thought I could wear crew necks...at least I how they are flattering!

April, I do not like it when I feel choked by the neckline. If budget will allow, may just end up ordering sm and med to determine which fit I like best.
