Here's kind of a review of this Tilly sweater in case anyone else is interested. I'm interested in it, sort of parodoxically due to its shorter length. Usually I need longer length tops for all my pants, and just wear some of them with skirts even if the length is longer than idea.( I did in fact get a Tippi on sale in a color that can skew spring-like.)

When sized up just a litte, it is a good fluid fit but shorter to wear "out" over pencil skirts or other skirts whose fit really want something to hit at higher hip (or potentially high-waisted pants, but I tuck into those). So it is boxy but the merino is collapsible.
Also has full-length sleeves--I have collected maybe too many 3/4 sleeved sweaters as I like to wear that length, but then they aren't "adjustable" for cold.
The other thing that seems to work is that the welt or bottom band is not tapered in too much, again I sized to give more hippy room. I get super love-bandles with the band hanging up and often have to forego band-bottoms entirely, looking for a straight finished hem.

Anyway I'm thinking of this a good basic weight fabrication that is more versatile than chunky knits, has some boxiness for the right proportions but can still look "tailored" . Not a statement sweater but easy to accessorize.

I do seem to be creating one of those expanding gray sweater collections and perhaps should be more French and multi-purpose, but I like having some different proportions.
