April Whisper Knit Sneak Peek #6 is A233944, the V-NECK SHORT SLEEVE sweater. It is approx. 25 inches long for the XS. This is the last style in the group of six “ON LINE ONLY” [OLO], Whisper Knit sweaters and it is a beauty in it’s SIMPLICITY. We often talk about TIMELESS, AGELESS, CLASSIC, well this sweater is the epitome of all those adjectives. Why is this sweater different from any other….if you can find one!…………it’s the fit……… the proportions……….the depth of the “V” the length of the sleeve, the slight shaping of the body….the way the sleeves are shaped and set into the body of the sweater……and of course the YARN…..all those things come into play when you put it on and say……..YES…………….Not all sweaters are equal…………… I went to Italy for 20 years……three to four times a year, creating the sweaters for the Anne Klein Couture line, so I know of what I speak. Believe me when I say……going to the sweater mills and working directly with the knitters and the people in charge of the hand work and those in charge of setting up the machines….every aspect of what it takes to make all kinds of sweaters……. gave me an incredible education. Glamorous….it was not, but the experience and the knowledge I acquired was priceless……………..So……when you put a Linea sweater on…..remember it’s just not a sweater, but a world of knowledge that went into making each garment……………..These sweaters are to be COLLECTED!!!!!………….to be worn year after year, season after season……..with the knowledge that they will always be OF THE MOMENT………………..that you will always look …………CHIC…… SOPHISTICATED……and…….CLASSY……………………………………………………….enjoy…………..much Love…………….Louis
Louis, at this point, I have an excel spreadsheet with colors and styles! You’re absolutely right – these are basics that must be collected. One question … you mentioned the “slight shaping” on the short sleeve v-neck. Which is a slimmer cut in the body – the short sleeve v-neck or the scoop neck? Thanks! Can’t wait to start buying – and wearing – these!
They are basically the same, and only have a “SLIGHT” shaping so they aren’t boxy…..nothing to worry about.
Not worried at all! I think a little shaping and slim fit would be great!
Absolutely iconic, reminds me of the one worn by Sharon Stone to the Oscars. Louis, I noticed that this one is 25″ whereas the mock is 26″ and is this due to the fact that the mock comes up higher or the body of the mockneck is longer? TIA
We just decided to do various lengths.
I have my chart all ready to go with my picks. I am sort of between sizes, will these fit the same as A232345? I got that in tobacco and the fit was fine. Some reviewers said it ran a little large. I am so paranoid that these will sell out and not be available to exchange sizes. I am going to order the cardigan in my larger size, and the others in my smaller size. I don’t want them tight around the middle. Keep us posted as to when you know the availablity date. 😀
I think you should order them in the size you would normally order them in.
