when I arrived at my mother and father residence, one of the first few sentences out of my mom's mouth were: "Did you order me a J.team woman day coat?" and "I need one of those hole cable sweaters." After recuperating from the preliminary shock (my mom is a gorgeous cook dinner, but our tastes in garments are like day and night time. for instance, simply yesterday she turned into trying to convince me this looks precise), I fortunately got her a coat and chatted approximately the sweater match.

Gap Striped Cable Sweater - sz XSP, 2 colors, much cheaper in-stores the last I checked.

I apologize for the belated review on these. In short, the quality of the sweaters is good for the price, however I returned both because of the length and the color options. Continue reading for more photos...

Fit: This sweater match much like the J.group youngsters length 14 I reviewed, except the sleeves were slimmer than the youngsters in shape. The torso is boxy much like the youngsters and is going almost directly up and down. The length (please word i've it tucked underneath in maximum of those photos) hits nearly beyond my hips, but due to the thicker material, it does not drape as casually because the J.crew children 14, and as a substitute appears cumbersome. that is especially obvious within the back view, wherein the sweater maintains trying to ride up due to the length:

Side view with the sweater tucked into my skirt. A cute look, but I know this won't stay in place neatly:

Measurements: My Petite XS measured 16.5" across the chest, 15" across the bottom, 21" length, and 22.5" sleeve length. Again, nearly identical to the J.Crew kids 14 but with slimmer sleeves.

material: The fabric of this hole one felt satisfactory and itch-free against my pores and skin, unlike the J.group mohair blend. The weave is medium-heavy in weight, and is clean. 45% nylon, 28% acrylic, 27% wool combination.

colorations: this is wherein I honestly want gap, BR, or even Ann Taylor would step up to be greater like J.group. There are 5 solid shade options and i do not love any of them. in which is fundamental military? Or traditional camel? despite the fact that the teal blue is pleasant, it's no longer versatile for me. I in my view preferred the rugby-esque striped model better than the solids, however the vicinity wherein the black and white traces meet is choppy (see under percent) and bugged me.

fee: I got both sweaters for $30 at some stage in this sale and feature visible them cross down to $16 on line. ordinary sizing will probable cross even lower in-shops. in case you don't mind the colours and longer length, then that is a pleasant warm sweater at a first rate price.

here's how it seems with jeans (Seven Gwenevere legging jeans in 24), folded under w/ an untucked blouse:

if you're looking for a extra fitted cable sweater, i am curious how Ann Taylor's version runs. Sizing is available in petite and normal, from XXSP - XLP, and it has 60% wool content. right now this is 50% off with WINTER50 and springs in 5 colorations:
