Whisper Knit Cardigan sizing

Ho Ho Ho everyone. Just ordered the Whisper Knit Cardigan with the V-Neck in the brick red. I usually wear a M, but ordered the Large since all the M in the red were sold out. Typical Linea problem, but I am hoping that, as a busty 12 on top, the L would work for me. I usually wear my cardigans open over a turtleneck or a shirt. Have any of you gone up a size on the cardigans? It seems the older I get, the bustier I get, so this might work.

I have this same cardigan in Brick Red (it's the one with the pockets, right?). I don't have much on top, and I ordered a size small. It's plenty roomy for me. Best you can do is get it home and try it on to see how it fits you. Good luck! I have the same sweater in navy, brick red, and black.

I am a medium and find mediums fit me in wk cardigans just fine but I also ordered a large one time since medium was not available. The issue for me was the sleeves were a bit fuller than I like but wearing on top of a long sleeved sweater helps (like a wk tneck). I still prefer the fit of a medium. Keep checking sometimes your right size will show up within the 30 days of your order, that has also happened to me. Keep your clear packing with info for awhile, in case you can exchange; you never know. Good Luck!!

Hope that works for you. It's my favorite WK cardigan! Love the weight, buttons and pockets. Have in brick red, hunter green and black. I have them in my regular Linea size of XL. And have the WK scarves to match!

Re: Whisper Knit Cardigan sizing

I have this sweater in the brick red, black & navy--LOVE it. Ordered my usual size (medium) and the fit is spot on. Having said that, whenever I have to order up in WK--as I did with the funnel neck sweater recently--it fits just fine. I'm not busty (38 B/C) so if you are, you'll be happy you got the Large, because that is where I see more roominess. Also, the brick red is a gorgeous color and if the sweater works for you, I recommend you pick up the matching tank--it would be impossible to match that color. Hope it all works out for you!

Re: Whisper Knit Cardigan sizing

I love whisper knits. I am one of the few (?only?) who sizes UP in all whisper knits. I am a size 1X, and I always get a 2X. Otherwise, for my taste and comfort, they are too clingy and that makes me uncomfortable. I like knits especially to have a bit more drape than most seem to, perhaps. I think it all depends on your preferences and comfort. You really can't go wrong with whisper knits, though. Like many others have said, they are addicting! {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

Smile Thanks everyone for your help and input. I almost cancelled my order, but am so glad I didn't. Hope this arrives quickly as I would love it for Christmas. Best wishes to all of you. Judy
