From these pics I'd say small, as the drape is so much nicer! But it's too bad that the sleeves are so long..! Would it be possible to shorten them somehow, maybe go to a seamstress? Or can you just fold the sleeves a bit..?

Agree with Karin. Looks better in small, but sleeves that much too long would be a deal-breaker if it were me.

YOU ARE FAST, Pree.

(Can you please edit your post to put it in the NAS section of the forum when you get home, perhaps? Thanks!)

I like the Medium Petite as is, actually. Pic #6 looks good. That one.

I like the body of the Small - but the sleeves are desperately too long.

Karin L H- unfortunately I don't think I can shorten the sleeves:-(

Jenni NZ- The long sleeves are a deal breaker for me.

Angie- thanks again for your input! Unfortunately, I cannot seem to move my post to the NAS section.

I have kept the Medium Petite. Do you think I should just pass on it since the drape is not quite right? I still very much like the angles of the sweater though.

I have clicked on the find to get to Nordstrom. Of course it shows it in NZ$: $ 402!! Not sure if that's the sale price, it does show Anniversary Sale. For me, I would never pay that much unless it was either totally perfect or else I adored it so much( like maybe fancy boots I swooned over) that I would accept having the item and not wearing much. My two most expensive items of clothing were both $350. Now I apologise for discussing price which is a little crass as we all feel differently about it. I'm just saying, FOR ME, that's too much if it's not perfect.

Jenni NZ- the sweater is $185 US. I really do love it and would wear it often so the cost per wear would justify the price. But I also do get your point if it is not perfect... I still do like all of the lines on it.
