Pics added! The Only Mine zipper sweater - LOVE!

I can't post a pic right now, but I will soon... I randomly checked on it and found it available in S in the purple, and it arrived today. It fits just like I'd want and the zipper doesn't do that buckling thing I was worried about after April's post, probably because I have the flattest backside ever and no hips. I should have gotten a second color, and if it goes on sale again, I will.

Another lemming for Una. Mine is black too (waving at CocoLion).

You will look incredible in the purple with your new hair - bring on the pics!

Yey! Mine cups on the bottom but I'm still keeping it, I think. I also have the black. So cool that it caught interest. Lemmings all the way!

I love and want that sweater. Darn for shipping to Canada....

And a teal version joins the chorus! I haven't posted pics for feedback yet, but I like what I've seen in the mirror. Maybe it's because I have a flat butt too?

I bet that purple is amazing on you, Una.

Can't wait to see it on you. Commenting so I can follow the thread. I also tried this out in the small, and it swamped me. I am certain the XS would also swamp me. Before sending it back, I had both DD's try it on and it was soooo cute on both of them! DD19 because of her hair (which right now is similar shade to yours, AlaskaGirl) and DD18 because she has a very strong shoulder line. This sweater, from what I can see, works particularly well with a strong shoulder line.

Unfortunately neither DD wants it -- both of them said "it's cute, but I like to show off my waist."

Shiny, I think you're a smaller version of me. I've said before on the forum that I'm somehow smaller than I feel, yet bigger than I look. Maybe it's the shoulders because I rarely look like I'm "swamped" in anything. But you have strong shoulders too, right?

Glory

Yeah - I am sure it will be wonderful on you and look forward to a photo ! I agree with Suz - darn the shipping to Canada, Love that sweater!

Alaska, yes, I have strong shoulders. And they aren't delicate either. And I am generally insecure about the size of my upper arms. But it's the body I've got and at 47 I'm intent on embracing my figure and loving it. These aren't flaws... they are features.

The sweater swamped me because I'm only 5.' My DD's are 4 inches taller and it fit them both perfectly. On me, I looked like a little kid playing dress up in daddy's over-sized sweater.

Pictures added! Not particularly styled, but just to show the sweater. Bonus photo of hair in sun! It is more burgundy than violet, I guess. I got these uber-cheap Tom Ford knock-offs just so I can feel comfortable taking head-on photos!

I realize the side view is very surrender-y (as in "OMG, does this make me look fat?!"), but I think it works better IRL and in 3D where there is some flow and movement.

Fits you perfectly. Love. So cute.

Wow, that looks perfect on you, Una. Also, so great with your hair!

Ooh, I have to say I was not drawn to this sweater at all, but it is perfect on you! You are also making me want to pair my orchid trench with army green... which means I need some army green skinnies! Then I can do my own lemming dance.

This looks fantastic on you for both fit and color Una! I returned mine, I really liked the style but with my rump, that's all you saw emphasized with the back view. Clung like crazy.

catgirl

Veteran

Lisa, you made me laugh with the word "rump"!

Angie, YAY! YOU are K-worthy in this sweate, it goes without sayingr! Your pic is what inspired me to try it. You were spot-on in saying much of our taste overlaps, and that is humbing indeed for littlle style struggler me.

LOVE this for you, Una! You can't be a lemming when you dress in a way that looks so natural and right for you. This will be a workhouse, and would look amazing with a pencil skirt, too.

Jem

Veteran

That looks amazing on you! A black one would be amazing, too.

It looks awesome on you Una! I would totally replicate if I were you

The fit is spectacular on you! It falls perfectly. Wish I could have found a teal one ah well.

And there's the hair in sun photo very nice! I wonder if it will get more violet as the red comes out?

Transcona Shannon

Veteran

OMG!!! Spectacular on you Una! I can see you wearing this all three of your BF sizes. And don't you have black slouchy trousers? could see this with those as well - maybe even with your pink slouchy trousers if the colours work well together. Absolutely LOVE this on you. I have too much in the hips and booty department to wear this so you will have to wear for me.

That shade of purple looks fab with your vivid personal coloring, and I love the style. Good choice!
