Swing Sweater Review A259620

JustJazzmom — Sat, 25 Oct 2014 19:52:01 GMT

First off-- stick with your usual Linea size in WK tops-- mine is a Small. This top is very nice in Louis' olive and the mulberry is a nice purple shade.

________________________________________________________

Measurements for Small taken from the garment on a flat surface like a table:

Chest 1" below armhole 19" = 38" circumference

HighPointShoulder 13" from that area is where the garment tapers inward that measurement from side to side is 18" = 36" circumference

Sleeve length from where it meets shoulder 23.5"

Cross back from where sleeves join the back of garment side/side about 4.5" from HPS is 14.5"

Garment sweep-- bottom of the garment from side to side 30" =60" circumference

_________________________________________________________

The garment's swing area has a asymmetrical hem which has its points on the side of your body and not down your front or back.

Keepers!!

It looks like the sides come down longer in points, does this accentuate the hips like Lori goldstein (which I hate)?

No it glides the body on the sides-- at least on me it does.

Measurement of point sides vs shorter sides: taken from below the armpit where the sleeve joins the body of the garment 21" vs. 19" -- the shorter measurement is taken from the front side of the garment and the longer measurement is taken with the sleeve upraised on the table and the measurement is from the armpit to the point tip.

I don't own any of the LOGO garments so I cannot make the comparison between this piece and Lori's garments. But looking at the LOGO garments online, this looks like a LOGO 'light' with not so deep points. I hope this is not as clear as mud!

Thanks, JJM -- very helpful! Glad you're pleased with this new style. My size Small should be here on Monday.

JJM, in your opinion, would this sweater make a hippy person look hippier?

No, I don't think so! It doesn't expand outward like a flounce would. The goring makes it glide against the hips. Terrible photo of the point online here! Should have had the model stand a little to the side to see the point instead of a closeup of the point!

Jazz, thanks for posting. I see the sweater is now at a featured price. I'm wondering if it will be on easy pay come Monday. Anyhow, you said to order our regular size.....on this one, the chest measurement for my regular size of 1X is 1/2 inch SMALLER than the XL. Not sure why. Anyhow, is there plenty of room? I see that the chest measurement is about 3 inches smaller than the boyfriend cardigan I just received, which fits great (little roomy). Just want to make sure this swing sweater doesn't run small. Thanks!

I don't think it runs small-- in my usual size, it fits as a semi fitted look on me. I wear a 36C bra for reference and the chest measurement is 38"

Thanks, JJM. You know me, I'm all about the olive pieces this season. "Make hay while the sun shines," as they say.

Thanks for review JJM. It looked like the points at sides were not too long as to make one look overly hippy. I ordered my regular size and am hoping it works for me...cuz I sure love that mulberry color.

Since I'm on west coast...probably won't see my sweater for another 10 days or so. Seems like it takes forever and a day to get stuff to Seattle.

JJM: thank you so much for your feedback. I think I am going to take the plunge and order the mulberry.

JustJazzMom, Thanks for the detailed review; you pushed me over the edge Do you feel the Q photos of the Mulberry are accurate for color? Now if we could only get Q to post the "Click Here" measurements ... if you call Customer Service, they do have at least a bust measurement for each size though.

Goldie, don't you mean olive oil?

CathyRD, I just saw your post and I think its accurate for color-- its not a deep deep purple but has some wine in that purple. I am not good at describing colors. I just wrote a review on them and am waiting for them to post. Hopefully it will push more people over the edge!

My 3 are shipping. Hope CS will refund the difference between the original price and featured price.

JJM, Thank you so much for giving us the measurements. With those and your description, I feel more confident ordering. Between the lack of "click here" measurements and QVC's product photos where the model is drowning in the wrong size, I was completely at a loss about the fit of this sweater.

Enjoy yours and thanks, again!

Goldie, don't you mean olive oil?

As always, you slay me, WNYgal. I grew up in a community that was totally agrarian-based until the 1970s. It's funny, a couple weeks ago I went back for a visit, and it isn't as though I haven't noticed the gentrification that was done to save the town over the past several decades, but something pushed me over the edge this last time. As I described it, you would have thought this original German settlement had become Paris, what with every restaurant, it seemed, having an outdoor eating area that you had to navigate, block after block. And, of course, there were dogs on a leash everywhere you looked. I'm not against progress or dogs, but something seemed really off.

Well, The Washington Post covers the metro area, and my once small town is part of that coverage. Had to laugh because a recent story covered the upcoming local town election for sheriff (I think), and many locals are fed up with the "liberal, wine-swilling, outdoor dining" folks who have had the audacity to put up one of their own. (I am writing this tongue-in-cheek, just to be clear.) His opponent is a buck-hunting local who challenged the new guy to slay a buck, if he had the ability or whatever.

I am not as bad as the buck-slayer, but I guess I sensed something really different.

Anyway, I grew up with "make hay while the sun shines," "up Goose Creek without a paddle" and "down the road a piece."
