Ok, I went to Banana last night - here's my review of the items you are interested in:
- this is so adorable IRL, but it fit me horribly. I tried on an XS and it was still too big, but it's because I have really skinny arms - the only part that was too big on me were the arm holes - I have trouble w/that a lot. If you arms aren't chicken arms like mine - get it..it's really adorable.
- they didn't have these
- these are stunning in person! I fell in love with them and I think you'll be fine w/them fitting your legs - they are seriously gorgeous IRL. GET THEM!
HTH and if you want reviews on anything else let me know - i tried a lot on!
Thanks so much for your reviews!! I'm going to call my local store and if they have these things, I'll make the hour ride - if not I'll place my order. Thanks again!!
Rar, I own that draped-neck top in 3 colors (the medium green, the "mint hint", and the brown). I plan on returning one of the greens b/c I obviously don't need 2, but I haven't decided which one to return yet.....
Anyway, I really love the shirt(s). The neck falls really nicely and it doesn't seem to me like it's something that's going to need constant adjusting throughout the day as some "special neck detail" tops do. The shirt falls to low hip level (I'm 5' 4") which is nice. The shirt and the arms are really slim cut though, (you can tell on the model, too) so if you don't want sleeves totally clinging to your arms the whole way, I'd size up on this one or pass on it. Oh, and the material - it's not the softest wool ever, but it's not unbearably scratchy either. I can tell this shirt is going to keep me toasty. I got hot trying it on in my living room.
I am still considering buying them in a medium (I'm a small) just to see if those ones give me a little more wiggle room. I'll keep you posted if I do.
rar - my friend bought this shirt and it looked great on her..she really liked it. But, like Christine said, size up. My friend is normally a size small and bought a medium. She got brown.
A couple questions on this.... 1. They list the color online as Cashmere Green?? To me it looks like it has blue, navy, and cream in it? 2. Is it a longer length?? It looks like it hits at the waist of the model but some I've tried on are really short (cropped).
Sorry - I overlooked this.
Oh no! Don't get that sweater vest unless you want mint green. In the store they had two colors - one was cream w/blue and navy, etc and the other was mint green, blue and navy, etc. For some reason it looks like on their website they only have the mint green. The stores carry the cream. Can you maybe call their customer service # and have them send you a cream one?
It really isn't very long. I honestly don't think it even came all the way down to my waist...maybe right above. I know you're shorter than me, so it might hit your waist. But I would definitely say it's shorter than it is long.
Also fyi - it's got angora in it..so it's that kinda itchy material w/the hairs..do you know what i mean?
