I haven't seen the Anthro one in person but it says on their site that it's wool and nylon. It's really pretty, though.

I adore this Free People hooded wrap but it only comes in charcoal.

$108

Wah - I am bummed the abercrombie one is itchy b/c I was *just* about to buy it. I think I will go try it on. The price is decent. Anyway, let us know what you decide, b/c I am on the same hunt.

I have this sweater

(in gray and burgundy) and it's not itchy. It fits great on me and I like the fact that it's not something I have to take to the cleaners.

I have this, too, in ivory

It's not natural fibers... it's like, 85% viscose/nylon. I was in search of the perfect ivory wrap sweater, too, and although it's not cashmere or wool, this sweater is *very* soft and cozy... and cheap to boot!

Thanks so much for your help, LMonet! Oh how I wish it was that easy! I've been stalking the Lily McNeal site every day in hopes that they restock my sweater...they're out of it in all colors and sizes!

I was also considering the Ruehl version of the A&F sweater which bex owns (the itchiness wouldn't be an issue and it's the perfect shape). I begged my brother to go to the Ruehl store since he was home in NY for the weekend but he didn't have time.

Girls with the Hollister sweater

How does the sizing run? I've always assumed that Hollister was anti-full chested girls, so I've never shopped there.

Thanks so much!

I've tried the Hollister sweater on, and even with my big ol' chest I could wear a medium, so I'd say try it out. I really liked it, and it seemed very warm and toasty, also soft, not itchy.

Christine · Coach

Thanks for this post, Lilykind, and all your feedback, girls! I too am on the search for the perfect ivory wrap sweater.....that Lily McNeal one is SO gorgeous, but LK has a point about the price. Thanks to your advice I am going to give the Hollister one a try!
