Unfrumped, I got a S in this sweater. I could actually have had the XS and the fit may have been a bit better, but the TrueFit told me to go for S and I did. My shoulders fill out the top but for sloping shoulders I might suggest an XS. It is not short. I have it semi-tucked here. It comes down almost to my crotch at full length.
Elizabeth, that is indeed quite a journey! But that sweater looks worth it. It is going to look amazing on you. I love the Berwick. Perfect 'at home' sweater with jeans -- great weight for my new climate. I am wearing it now. Will model later on.
Kathie, I am sure you will love the quality.
Staysfit, I think the Triumph of Individual Style is the bible for figuring out why some patterns suit us or feel right and others don't. I have no idea why stripes appeal to me so much and why I wear them so easily. It may be that I have an angular face and they support that? You wear florals so very well --perhaps the waves in your hair are an echo of the organic shapes? I love certain florals, too, but I need to be careful with scale -- tiny ones don't work on me and neither do enormous ones. And some abstract watercolours are just too "soft" for me -- they fight with my energy somehow. I wonder, too, for you, if contrast isn't part of the issue. You might enjoy a stripe that is soft grey with soft winter white. Especially a very thin stripe? But never force it. You look great in the patterns you currently wear so no need to make yourself wear something you don't care for on yourself.
On the joggers -- they are also sold out in my size in the stripe or I'd be sorely tempted! They were just too pricey for me to consider at start of season. Plus I wasn't in the right mind frame for shopping then, with our move.
Sterling, I was SOOO tempted by that pink!! It's gorgeous. I hope it works for you. I was afraid it would be too bright for me and judging from the stripe in my Berwick sweater, it would. But it will work on your high contrast colouring brilliantly. Literally!
Bijou, that is smart and considered shopping.
Kelly, thank you -- and I know -- every time I see you in leggings I feel the same way. I look idiotic in them and feel uncomfortable.
Janet, Karen, Suntiger -- thanks!
