This sweater is so pretty!

 

I passed on this one originally because it looked like a tunic (and too long for me). But one of the reviewers says it's too short lol!

 

Can you speak to the length (and your height)? TIA!


I'm 5,5" and it hits me about where it hits the model. It's a longer sweater, but not tunic length.  About two inches or so below where the very top of my legs are. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I generally like their styles and designs, but they always have too much wool and cashmere in their fall/winter items. I can't wear either. I do want to try their new jeans and a few tops I saw in the catalog.

I wish there was something I wanted at Talbot's. I haven't been wowed this season. I'm between sizes on their tees (they changed, not me). And there's a lot of wool in their sweaters (I dislike wool). 

 

I did buy a Pointelle Yoke Sweater that I love.

I bought a fair amount last winter, so I'm well-stocked lol! 


I can't wear wool either - makes my skin itch like crazy! I liked some of the thing in the catalog I received but most of it was wool.

I ended up buying this sweater at Talbot's. It's 100% cotton, fits great, and the style suits me to a T.

@lolakimono:  Thank you for pointing this out! I actually received them yesterday-- l had ordered them online during their Friends and Family promotion. Then l noticed they were reduced further, plus free shipping. So l called last evening for a price adjustment... Great minds think alike!
