long cardigans and dusters

students — Sun, 07 Oct 2018 20:07:40 GMT

I am very fond of long cardigans and dusters. I always find several that I really like, but they are all open front. Designers shoud realize that not all of us want open designs. I am sure more would be sold. if they had either buttons, zippers, or a matching tie belt. I would be so happy to see this. I hope all involved might take this into consideration. I have my eye on one chenille long sweater that I really want, BUT it's an open front! I would welcome any suggestions.

Depending on handy you are - you could add a ribbon loop and button.

I don't particularly care for buttons and zippers on sweaters - on the ones I've made I added short yarn chains that could be tied.

I have also added ties just under the bust line .

I can't wear either where I am as most of the year it is windy here so the open fronts are like signal flags docking a boat. I do have a couple and wear them but I am really so over the fly-away look.....

You can buy a thin belt and belt it. That's what I do.

Chadwick’s sells boyfriend cardigans in 3 lengths. They are v-neck and button front. I own 2 and like mine very much.

Welcome to the community! @students I really like this Logo duster https://www.qvc.com/LOGO-by-Lori-Goldstein-French-Terry-Duster-with-Patch-Pockets.product.A288040.html

With buttons.

I am two short for any of them. I can admire them but cannot wear them.

What @bonnielu said. Besides not liking open front cardigans myself, all of the duster-length cardigans I've tried on this year are waaaaay too long for my short body. Doesn't matter if they're petite sizing, princess seams, boxy fit... whatever. I really like the D&Co chenille duster being shown today, but I wouldn't be able to wear it.

I like the TSV but not that it is open front--gimme buttons to keep it closed !!!!T long dusters are silly, IMO. Wouldn't fit into my lifestyle at all.

I am a huge fan of any long cardis...I have Halston, Rinna, Graver, Bare Dreams, D & C....If its open front I do go up one size...But you can add an interior velcro piece if that helps.

I understand, not all are fond of the open front cardis. I am purchasing the D & C TSV I just have to decide the color

Like the original poster, I like long cardigans but want them to close. Dusters, however, remind me of lab coats.
