A273338 Long Sleeved Sweater Knit Striped Top

Pearlee · ‎06-11-2011

A273338 - I love my apple blossom striped sweater! I got it last year in mocha. The fit in size medium is true, and the apple blossom is so cheery and youthful looking. I'm in my mid-60s and will really enjoy wearing it, but I also think this color in this sweater is an excellent choice for a 20-something or even a teenager. There is something just vibrant and fun about the color and the stripes. I didn't think my mocha was "fun" even though I've always loved it. But the apple blossom really is. Love it - a great purchase!

Pearley....the striped top is adorable and I've thought about it in the mocha. I'll bet that apple blossom puts some spring in your step...enjoy your new "fun" sweater!

@Pearlee. I have had that sweater in my cart so many times, but never ordered. Thank you for reviewing the apple blossom and I'm glad you love it. I am torn between black and apple blossom, but I definitely want one. Is it lightweight enough to wear through the Spring?

Pearlee · ‎06-11-2011

@Trudey Good morning. When I tried on the apple blossom, it was a bit heaveier than I'd remembered the cocoa from last year. A lightweight sweater, yes, but although I think I can wear it all spring here in the midwest, I think it'll have a shorter life span in the south. Although, it will be great in air conditioning. It's a lighter-than-medium weight sweater, but not a summer weight one.

By the way, the length is perfect for my 5'3" so I'm not sure how it'll work for you. I really do love the apple read for this sweater! So cheerful!

@Pearlee Hypothetically, if you had sized up to a large (just for extra length) would it have been too big? I know this is a crazy question, but I'm just wondering if I could get by with a larger size so that the length would be better on me. I really like this sweater and I love that it doesn't need any layering.

@Trudey Sizing up would be too big for me. However, remember that I don't have the bust issue you have.

Does anyone who is taller have this sweater. I still want it,but would like to hear from the taller ladies about the length.

Trudey · ‎03-11-2010

@Pearlee. Even though I didn't get any comments from the taller ladies, I decided to go ahead and order the sweater in blue. Hopefully it will be long enough and flattering.

@Trudey I think it will work! I'm surprised though - because I thought you were deciding between the black and the apple blossom!? LOL!

Trudey · ‎03-11-2010

@Pearlee. LOL...I was, but in the end, went with blue. It is hard for me to resist pretty blues. If it fits well, I'll definitely get another color. I love stripes when they are flattering and this sweater has been on my wish list for awhile.
