Mini Sweater Costume + Wool Wrap Coat // Abercrombie Petite

The brief sweater costume has been such a KEY basis piece in my fall wardrobe. In previous years I couldn’t discover ones brief sufficient to drag off the appears to be like I had in thoughts, in order quickly as I noticed this one in petites, I bought it in each black and cream with no regrets. In comparison with my Steve Madden sweater dress, these are easier ribbed mock neck clothes nice for layering, whereas the SM one is extra of a thicker, chunky knit costume that I put on by itself.

Mock neck Sweater Dress

In petite, common & tall sizes

I like how petite-friendly and versatile that is as an outfit base. I sized as much as XS petite as I choose my knit clothes to not be too fitted on the tummy. It’s a mid weight rib knit, not too skinny. It has a relaxed match with drop shoulders, and small skirt slits on either side. I learn a evaluation about this working huge and actually didn’t discover that to be the case until you’re searching for a cosy becoming costume. It feels very TTS, and after sizing up it’s a figure-skimming match on me. The mid-thigh size is brief sufficient to put on with flat boots and sneakers for me, and in addition appears to be like nice with taller boots.

For pairing concepts, I’ve already worn this sweater costume with:

Blazer Mini Dress

Talking of the Schutz boots, I’ve gotten lots of requests for a “search for much less” of this attractive Alice + Olivia blazer romper (simply went on sale) – see it on me on this weblog publish with the boots. I’ve been on the blazer mini costume hunt for years, so belief me once I say that this model is VERY onerous to return by in petite-friendly sizing.

I just lately tried on this option at A&F, and located the xxs petite to be a reasonably good match. It’s not as sharply tailor-made and the material isn’t as luxe because the Alice and Olivia, however it’s a quarter of the value plus is a costume as a substitute of a romper for individuals who’d choose that. One evaluation mentions the within buttons pulling on the costume, however I’m attempting it on once more as I kind this and don’t have that difficulty. If the costume matches too comfortable on the wearer throughout the hips, then I can see the way it would possibly pull on the buttons.

Wool-Blend Blanket Coats

In petite, common & tall sizes.

I attempted on each the wrap model and the button-front kinds in these blanket coats. True to the opinions and the “blanket” identify, the wrap coat runs huge and is admittedly leaning into the oversized-cut kinds. I might suggest sizing down in the event you’re in a position to, until you’re searching for a very outsized piece.

I additionally tried their button-front Wool-Blend Double Cloth Coat coat (pictured above) which is identical precise colour because the wrap coat and matches somewhat higher with out being as outsized. After attempting on each, I nonetheless opted for the wrap model as I wish to have that tie waist choice and the extra protection throughout the entrance for extra heat. I picked it up throughout a small sale some time again, and would counsel ready for one more promo if eager about these coats!
