thoughts on this cardi?...and sizing question
Permalink Closed

I have officially flipped over this f21 cardigan that is new on their website today.  The sizing says the size small is 32" chest.  I am 34.75" around the largest part of my chest.  Do you think I could get away with the medium?  The cardigan is from f21 twelvebytwelve line, and according to their sizing I am a M.  There has been on time I was a M at f21, but except for that one time I have always been a L.  The closest f21 to me is 3.5 hrs away (yes, I live in a small podunk town cry).

to answer your question, I think the cardi is a big PASS, it looks like itd add bulk to a weird spot on the arms and the color doesn't help either.

If you do decide to purchase, I think the twelvebytwelve line runs a lil more like a regular woman's size as opposed to the other lines that are juniors/smaller, so its possible you'd be fine in an M

It's a pass for me too, sorry. I'm seeing it with a big headdress made of fruit and a pair of maracas.

I sorry. I have to agree with the others. I think it looks like it's trying way too hard.

To answer your questions about sizing, the 12by12 line runs a bit more normal IMO. I think a Medium will fit you.
