I am going to try the petite since I am 5'3".  Now I am debating between the Olive and the Garnet.  I don't have any green so leaning towards that one.  Does anyone know what color the Garnet truly is?  A warm or cool red?

Also, I am debating between medium and large petite.  Sizing seems the same by size charts except length.  I always find their sizing confusing as according to their chart (not actual garment measurements) I should go with a large.  However, a large fits me a little too big.  I think I am going to try a medium petite. 

If anyone has this cardigan, can you please give feedback on sizing and the garnet color??

How about sizing?  Can you give us your size and measurements or retail size for a reference?

What about the Garnet?  Is it s cool red (wine) or more of a warm (rusty red or tomato red) color?

@Beeweaver I just posted a picture in the BD fan page of the garnet color since I received this last week. This is not tomato red at all. I don’t do well with tomato reds.

I saw the picture but hard to still tell.  Is it a cranberry?

@Beeweaver I would say it’s more red than cranberry but definitely in the family. I’ve had my garnet xs petite cardigan now for a few days and the more I wear it the more I love it. This is really a nice made garment. The ribbing detail is very nice and feels good on. I’m even thinking of another color but unsure of which one to get.

I think I NEED the garnet AND the olive.  I have been vacillating between the two.  So, I think I will just pull the trigger on both!  I have a burgandy in the cozy chic island wrap but I think it will be different than the garnet.  I have nothing in the green tones at all and I consider olive to be a neutral.

@Beeweaver The garnet is definitely a pretty red. I don’t have anything red except for the rosewood and that is a way different tone possibly even in the berry type family. The color reminds me of a sangria red color. I do love it. I would also grab the olive as well however I just received the olive notch blazer in the mail yesterday and love that. I am thinking maybe taupe or ash however I do have a lot of grey cardigans.

Do you love that olive color?  It looks more of a yellowish green, correct?

No.

It is a fabulous green.
