I had to go ahead and try this
Garnet Hill big sweater (1-stock photo and 2-3) because it looked like it might have a nice boxy fit in
the stock photo and is in beautiful colors. Was worried I might even be tempted to dupe in other colors. But it’s very large at the hem level and reads more
A-line/tent/maternity on me, and is long. May not project well but it doesn't drape or move right for what I want in a "big" sweater. Ironically the neckline is not too large to work.

The other thing is that it is itchy, and I even have some tolerance for that. I had
it on, and then changed to a Talbot’s cashmere sweater for a comparison, and
what a difference. I think even the Talbots could be softer, to be perfectly
picky, yet it was like putting on something cooling after the GH sweater. So no
go, and now I can move on.

4-5: Also shown is merino sweater by Milly. The only photo I
have is over a shirt, but mostly would wear not-layered, though sometimes with
a scarf. Camel is a color I really like
to have in my wardrobe even though it’s not a “best” color, and is really better
if it can be “cool camel” . However, it’s JFE and useful because it gives me a
lighter neutral that’s not gray, and is a substrate for accessories in berries
and teals, goes with black pants and other colors. I think the curved “cocoon”
style is “me” and gives me length for
some bottoms without the horizontal line, and it goes with a host of bottoms. This merino knit is very comfortable,
almost cotton-y (but very warm!).

6: Finally is a WIW pushing fall by starting
to wear tights and a scarf already--a differnent camel sweater with AT black/tan false plain skirt, brown tights, Munro oxfords. Sweater is a mesh cotton I wore
during summer, good for transitional weather and a HEWI style and length —have not been able to find just these proportions.
