Delia's Galante Sweater

member · Hermes

I think Halleybird has it...maybe I'm wrong? I know someone does though!

i ordered it and it just came yesterday. it's going back because it's huge--it's cute but very big. or i guess, true to size--i sized up because it's delia's and everything else runs tiny. the last time i bought a blouse there, i needed a 12 for it to fit over my boobs (i am about a true size 8 on top), so i got the L in this sweater. but i guess i need the M.

also--it's not fitted like in that picture--it's more blousy.

I was just about to order this but then waffled since it's backordered, plus I was unsure about sizing. It's so cute though. Thanks for the info bumblebee - I thought the XS might be too tight on me but I guess that would be the right size. Did you think the quality was ok? I'm still debating whether I want black or white.

Ok, good to know. I guess I'll try the small.

bumblebee - thanks for the review!

cc - I think I'm going to get the black. I used to have a black ss sweater that I loved, it was truly one of my favorite pieces of clothing ever. I was visiting my parents one weekend and my Mom got her hands on it and shrunk it and I've been trying to replace it ever since. Maybe this will finally fill the void.

ooh, i didn't even know it came in black or i probably would have ordered that instead--i think almost everything i own is black.

cc, the quality is ok--it didn't look flimsy or shiny or anything, but it is made of acrylic.

speaking of, does anyone know how acrylic holds up--will it shrink at all?
