Thoughts on new H by Halston sweater, please.

I haven't ordered anything from H by Halston, but there is a new marled knit turtleneck that I really like. How does the sizing for this brand run? It looks like a looser neck than the usual turtleneck, which I prefer. What do you think?

I bought the open front sweater today in my usual size, I already have the down wrap coat and I feel it's true to the Q's sizing.

@blackhole99 Thanks! I hope you love your new sweater.

I didn't realize there was a video up. I just watched it and now I'm not sure it will be flattering on me.

@Trudey

L.L. Bean has a sweater you might like.

It comes in 6 colors.

@lolakimono. I definitely like that sweater better. I don't love the high low hem on the Halston. Thanks for posting. I'm going to check it out.

I am tuning in late on your thought process, @Trudey but I do like the Halston sweater. Particularly in champagne. But it sounds like you are going with something else. The only thing I can offer is that the 3 Halston sweaters I own are very soft and high quality.

I watched the presentation this afternoon and one of the models and Kerstin both said they sized up in that sweater. It looked very nice on both of them.

I like the look of many of the H by Halston items and I enjoy Cameron as a polished, professional presenter. However, I find most of them too fussy for my very casual lifestyle. Items like that sweater/poncho this morning are too voluminous and are extremely unflattering on plus size figures. Overall, very little in the line that would make a plus size lady look good.

I hope this line is appealing to the younger ladies who've bitterly complained that there is nothing in fashion for them at QVC.

@Kachina624 I can't explain why but your post made me laugh. I like to think that I haven't been bitter... but I am very happy to have the Halston line on the Q.

@islandgrrl. Did you size up in your Halston pieces?

@Trudey, I have been very pleased ordering my usual Q size in Halston. I am very pleased with everything I have ordered from this line.

@Trudey I agree with @MaggieMack. Stay with your normal QVC size. Don't size up.

I definitely find the stuff to be "voluminous", but totally the opposite of fussy. I dont care for volumous at all, and I am average size. I do appreciate the easy, slightly modernized classic feel to this brand's sensibility found in their style.

I love this sweater and am stalking it on "as is". For me it would be great in the cold winter months with jeans and boots.

I keep looking at it and may still order it to try. My concern is the way it appears to hug the backside. I don't really want to draw attention to that area
