ISO chocolate brown belted sweater

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I have this one from Nordstrom's and I really like it. I obviously haven't had the chance to wear it yet, since it's still in the 90's or wash it yet, but it says it's machine washable.

FashionPrincess, I looked for that same sweater in my local Nordies and they were all out! I checked online and they're out of the brown in a small. In non-juniors' clothing I usually wear an XS or a S. Do you think a juniors' Medium would be too big? I'm not so worried about the bust/waist/hips measurements, since I'd be wearing it over other shirts, but I don't want the arms to be too long.

I'm normally an XS/S and I got a small in this. It fits perfectly (just a hair slouchy, not sloppy), but yes the arms are long (which I like), but to size up would probably make them too long. Can you have your Nordstroms or customer service do a store search and do a charge send? That's what I did with a belt they had but didn't have in my size. Shipping was only $3 and it took about a week to get. Hope that helps!

FP or Bastet, can you help me find this on the Nordstrom website? I can't seem to find it under women's or BP.

Thanks!

Does anyone have this A&F one (I posted the cream b/c it shows up better)? If so, does it run TTS? Can it go in the washer? Is it long or does it end at the waist, I can't tell from the pic.

i don't have the A&F one, but I bought the Ruehl one. The one at A&F was a wool blend- so my guess is that it couldn't go in the washer. My Ruehl one can go in the washer and just needs to be dried flat. My caution with the A&F one is that it was super itchy- so it is best bought if you plan on wearing it with long sleeves. I the Ruehl one- it is super comfy and TTS.

I don't own it, but I've tried it on several times, wanting it to work for me. I'm always a small in tops, but I thought the sleeves were really tight on the S, so I tried a medium, which helped a little but then the sleeves were like 6" too long, and I have really long arms to begin with......even the sleeves on the S were really long.

I'm not sure if it can go in the washer, but being wool, they probably recommend dry-cleaning or maybe hand washing.

Oh, and both the S and the M hit about 2 inches below my hips. I'm 5'4".

HTH!

I tried on the A&F one and didn't like it too much. It just didn't look right on...the sleeves are tight and I prefer something a little looser. If I remember correctly, it hits around the hip area..it's not super long though..not thigh-skimming or anything. And I just couldn't get the front to wrap in a way that looked right. If you like it, there's a cheaper versions at Hollister.

Also, Gap.com is still down, but I was in there today and they have one that is very similar to the Nordstrom's one.
