Juliana Rancic sweater

Today's Special on HSN. Man oh man! if I was still working, I'd have to have this long sweater. Doubt I'd actually wear it very often, but nifty for special occasions. Does anyone else like this sweater?

@tototwo

Watching the presentation now.

I kind of like it in black, but the opening seems too large on the model. The colors are pretty, but not my cup of tea.

But, like you, I'm not working anymore, so I'd few occasions to wear it.

No, not at all. I actually am not a fan of her clothing as I've ordered in the past and have never been happy. She goes on and on with how her father was a master tailor........blah blah blah! In that respect she should be better at her qulaity and sizing issues. JMO, by all means if it's your style I hope you love it, I think it's too long, even in petite I would be swallowed in it.

It's not for me. I'm a short person, 5-3 and I think that sweater would look better on a tall, thin person with a long neck.

I agree with all of you. I'm also petite and skinny, so it would probably overwhelm me. But it looks gorgeous on Juliana and the host Callie. I've never ordered any Juliana fashion so don't know about the quality. Just saw that sweater and my heart went pitty-pat.

I like it until I really looked at the turtleneck. It's too big for me. An easy dealbreaker.

I always like the look of these turtleneck long sweaters or turtleneck poncho sweaters. But I had one about 7 years ago, and swore never again!

For me, it's too much sweater that invariably makes me very hot. Somehow, a regular turtleneck sweater is all good. But this long style feels heavy indoors, and something I definitely needed to take off indoors. It's like a layering piece that becomes immediately too much for longer than 10 minutes. Pulling these over my head and back on again made me give mine away.

Plus, by the time this is delivered, what coat will look good over this long sweater?

I do like the basic shape, and have made a couple similar but not quite as long in back. I prefer the back no longer than behind my knees.

What I don’t like here is the design of the collar and closure.

I got one couple of yrs ago and at 5'5 they were a housecoat on me.

I always look at the person in charge of the name and say to self

size up or down. She's gaunt I would have to order a size 100 LOL

size 12-14 in slacks to her would be fatty fatty. Her clothes are made more for the young and real thin crowd.

@Caaareful Shopper -- to answer your question, I have a calf-length wool coat and a slightly longer suede duster coat. Both would work over that long sweater.

I have this from last year in gray and black and I love them. I got the petite as I am 5'3 1/2 in xxs theyboth fit perfect. I love turtle necks and long sweaters so this is so me. I get so many compliments when I wear it I feel very elegant when wearing it.

Not trying to be "a know it all" but It's Giuliana not Juliana. I really like it but the only person I've seen it on so far that really looks great in it is Giuliana herself. As for the host and models some look OK and others look not so great. I have found her sizes tend to run small in most things but not always . As for quality is kind of hit or miss. I would think by looking at this that ture to size or maybe sizing up would be best and having no cleavage is even better LOL.

I'm only 5'3" and I absolutely live in long, duster length sweaters.

I think they make me look much taller and leaner, of course adding a cute shootie heel!

However, I do not like this one at all. The collar would choke me and I don't care for that split opening.

I LOVE the length even on me!

I purchased two. I love this look. She had something like this before and I missed it but this is a substitute I am willing to work with.

@tototwo I have been and continue to eyeball this since earlier this morning. I too have tried her line and it is just 'so-so'. I DO love this design; however, am apprehensive about the turtleneck - depends on the fabric. The fabric content given isn't quite clear as to the comfort/breathability of the piece, it depends on the manufacture. Drapability factors in as well, both on the neckline and the bodice.

If I do purchase it will be the opal grey. It most likely will be a pass though, and being a size XS really narrows that purchasing window of opportunity.

Just saw a shorter version of this sweater on the mannequin when I walked in Kohl's last week! Very pretty!

This would be horribly impractical for me. There would be little to no time where I live for me to wear this as an outerwear piece/coat. Not to mention, who wants to mess around taking something like this off inside somewhere and putting it back on to go outside? I could never wear this as part of my outfit because I would roast.

At only 5'4", I am far too short for this. I looked where this hit Guiliana so I'm afraid on me it would come to the floor.

I also liked the looks of this much better on the hosts, models and Guiliana where it closed in the center. I saw it on a host this morning and there was a huge gap in the center that made it look too small but I think it was just the nature of her shape which is what would happen with me unless I went up several sizes.

I also saw it on a host last night during Beauty Report and the host was sitting down and I don't think she had anything on under this. If she did, it was something flesh colored and looked like her skin. That opening goes very high and her stomach area was all exposed. I don't think she realized it but one false move and more than her stomach was going to be exposed. I think you'd have to wear something under it.

I love the way this looks on the right frame and I think it's very pretty, just not for me.

Too extreme for me. I don't like turtlenecks and would have no place to wear something like that.

@Lipstickdiva You are right, it does depend on where you live if this is reasonable to purchase. I have two already and I don't wear as an outerwear piece I wear as part of my outfit. I live in upstate NY so I get much use out of it. Mine does not open up at all. The hosts that it does should size up. This is not a tight turtleneck more of a mock. I love turtlenecks so its a win win for me.

I like the Blackberry and the Black. The Black can be dressy.
