Here are some questions to consider as you look at these photos:

  • How do you think the garment compliments each woman's individual body type and personal style?
  • Which body type would this garment look best on?
  • If you wanted to knit a sweater straight out of the magazine, with no pattern adjustments except for sleeve and hem length, would this be the sweater for you and your body type?
  • Would it fit your personal style?

I think Annie can wear all of these (lucky girl!) but most of them need to be at least one size smaller. Victoria Yoke Pullover, Printed Silk Cardigan, Ivy League Vest and Flutter Sleeve Cardigan fit her and thus look very nice.

She looks great in dainty pinstripes, the printed silk and even the climbing vines - not so much in the others surprisingly

I personally love lace. So, the Oriel Lace Blouse is my style. The color of the Printed Silk Cardigan is great for Annie as well as the style. Like CarolS, I too pick out the most expensive one right away.

Annie looks fabulous in every sweater. The Printed Silk cardi caught my eye immediately. That is typical for me. The most expensive sweater is always the one I like.

It appears that Annie can wear, and look great, in all the sweaters. The Painted Silk is the perfect color for her. The Dainty Pinstripes definately shows her beautiful hour glass shape although the color is too pale. Made up in the same color as the Painted Silk and she would WOW everyone!

I think she can rock all of them with the exception of the Oriel Lace (shocking for me to say - lace is my absolute favorite) and the Flutter Sleeve. I don't like how either looks on her.
Stitch-ayWoman wrote
on Dec 10, 2008 7:04 PM
Dainty Pinstripes and Printed Silk, definitely. Flutter Sleeve is a close third. It would be a bit easier to tell if she wasn't so much smaller than most of the samples - she's lithe and dainty, and these garments look huge on her (lucky girl!)

Printed Silk wins for me. I think the Blooming Cardigan is just a little too fussy for all the models. It seems to over-shadow them.

The Victoria Yoke is fabulous on her. The buttons work well on her long neck, the shape is flattering and the colour really adds punch to her skin tone. Second place is the Printed Silk, but that's also a lot about colour.

The Dainty Pinstripes Pullover is a wow on Annie with the caveat that she change the color (this color washes her out).

Thank you, all! I was nervous about this gallery and people leaving comments, but you were all so kind and GREAT! In case you're all wondering, my favorite sweater of the bunch is the Oriel, followed closely by the Victorian Yoke Sweater. However, before this gallery was ever posted i was determined to knit the Ropes and Picots cardigan. Now i've decided it is not the sweater for me! Thanks againfor your comments. -Annie

Annie looks good in many styles, but the size should go down one on most samples. Forget Manchester. The lovely coral Silk Cardigan flatters her best as is among this grouping of already knitted garments.

With Annie's slender figure, she can wear most any of these, but most flattering on her is the Printed Silk Cardi, followed byt the demure looking Victoria Yoke Pullover. The Printed Silk Cardi is a an easy, comfortable looking style; very feminine. The Flutter Sleeve Cardigan might look better on her in a different color. Don't care for the Oriel Lace Blouse, Ivy League Vest, Blooming Cardi (too bulky/sloppy looking for her),
Eliza wrote
on Dec 9, 2008 10:18 AM
Very interesting. Annie and I have a very similar body type, and I'd say that she needs something that clings a little more. The Victorian Yoke and Dainty Pinstripes do that here, and thus I'd say they are the most flattering. Stay away from anything that is baggy with this body type!!

Annie looks good in most of the styles but I really liked the victorian yoke pull over(maybe would have made it a little bit longer) and the painted silk cardigan(the color is amazing on her). I don't think the manchester Jacket(or any of the boxy jacket styles) is very flattering on her as she is so small framed it kind of makes her look diminished. I also don't like the Ropes and Picot on her, it makes her appear boxy.
KathleenRV wrote

WOW, Annie, you go girl! You look great in ALL of those. I guess that comes from being slim of frame. :)

on Dec 9, 2008 7:55 AM
This is a fascinating exercise for many reason, but not least because of the general response to Annie. We think because she is slender and pretty that she looks good in everything, but the truth is: No she doesn't. Yes, she doesn't look horrible in anything, but that doesn't mean every shape garment flatters her body type. The oriel lace neck takes away from her face. The Flutter sleeve might be OK in a smaller size in a better color for her. The Ropes and Picot neckline is NOT flattering, and the Blooming Cardigan, while a great color for her, is just OK as a "big" sweater (even with shorter sleeves). On the other hand, the Print Silk Cardigan is excellent for balance, spunk, and color. The Dainty Pinstrip neckline truely flatters. It's not a good color for her, but imagine it in the color of the Printed Silk. Sexy. The Climbing Vines is good. She can handle the bulk, but the color is just OK, not bad but not good. The vest fits but need some detail at the outer armhole to balance it on her. Color only ho-hum.

I don't agree that ahe can wear everything. I don't like the manchester jacket on her but I think it is not a design to look good in. My favorite is the printed silk cardigan. the Oriol lace blouse is a close second, I am starting to think that the victoria yoke sweater looks good on everyone.

1. Printed silk cardigan, wonderful color and great shape 2. Climbing vines pullover, again the color and scoop neckline 3. Dainty pinstripes pullover, this would be number 1 if in a more vinbrant color. Really, she looks great in most of the sweaters. Love her winning smile.

JeannineD wrote
on Dec 9, 2008 1:06 AM
Most sweater are very becoming on beautifull Annie but not the Manchester coat and the flutter sleeve. Both make her look too skinny, almost scrawny and overwhelm her gorgeous figure. Pinstripe would be a favourite but not in this colour. She pulls off the victoria yoke best of all models. Meghan can just about get away with it too, but the high neck makes somewhat busty gals look extremely boob-job-y. For the not so heavily endowed on the other hand it suggests more than is actually there, which for them and thus for Annie doesn't hurt at all.

Annie looks great in most of these sweaters. It is hard to pick one. I would say that the Manchester is the least flattering as it looks too big. Again that Victoria Yoke and Dainty Pinstripe seem to flatter all including Annie.

Annie is lucky that most of these sweaters look great on her! The only two that I think she should avoid are the Manchester Jacket and the Ropes and Picot Cardigan. The Manchester jacket looks too big on her and the Ropes and Picot a bit too big around the neckline. My favorites on Annie if I had to choose are the Victoria Yoke and Printed Silk, both good fits and terrific colors on her.

Well, she doesn't look bad in any of them, but I like the Victorian Yoke and the Printed Silk the best. They seem to fit and flatter her the most. The others tend to look a bit too large or just don't quite hit her in the perfect spots, if I want to be extra picky.
ArleneT wrote

What "problems?" I would love to have her figure "problem" areas. If I had her figure my problem would be which sweater to wear first. Seriously, the Silk cardigan looks great and even looks better because of the great color. The Victoria Yolk Pullover is also nice especially the color.

Oh, to have her "problem". They all look good! However, the printed silk cardigan really pops on her because of the color.

Annie has the most beautiful figure! Almost everything looks good on her. The Printed Silk Cardigan just shouts out "Look at me!" The color is vivacious and the shaping if most flattering. A modeling career should be the next thing she should try!

There are some folks, such as yours truely, that have to be careful to pick sweater patterns that will actually take a person from frump to fantastic. Then there are other gals that can wear a potatoe sack and make it look good, such as Annie in the photos above. In Annie's case the question is more "What does she feel like knitting today?"
CathyW wrote
on Dec 8, 2008 5:28 PM
The Printed Silk Cardigan is a real winner on her, and the Flutter Sleeve Cardigan looks almost as good. (Actually most of the sweaters look great on her; the Dainty Stripes Pullover and the Oriel Lace Blouse don't grab me though, and the Ropes and Picots Cardigan looks too short for her somehow.)

I would also like to add that Annie would also look great in several other ones: Victoria Yoke Pullover, Ivy League Vest and Dainty Pinstripe Pullover (in a slightly darker color)...Annie has so many options here with her great body shape, coloring and hair. She honestly could wear just about any of these!

The Oriel Lace Blouse looks awesome on Annie and suits her age and fun personality. The Printed Silk Cardigan is tied with it, because it gives her a totally different look...very dressy, classy and sophisticated, plus there are so many look options with this one. She can't go wrong with either one!

I like the Climbing Vines and Painted Silk Cardigan best on her. The Dainty Pinstripes is flattering, but too monochromatic with her skin. To me, the Oriel Lace Blouse looks like it came from her grandmother's closet--not sure I'd like it on anybody.
CVWGma wrote
on Dec 8, 2008 4:28 PM
OK, you found the girl that can wear anything. The only negatives I can see are The Manchester jacket could be a bit smaller so she doesnt look quite so overwelmed by the jacket. and the Blooming Cardigan again lookes to biig for her. Come to thinkj of it , were the sweater knit to fit better I dont think it would do anything for her long lean frame except make her look longer and the bulk of the cable totally hides her figure.
SallyS wrote

printed silk cardigan without a doubt. Although she has the kind of figure where most of the sweaters look good on her except the ropes and picots cardigan which is too boxy on her.
Elizabeth wrote

Annie looks great in so many of these, so I worked backward. The Manchester Jacket is the wrong color and makes her look flatter busted. The Dainty Stripes looks too broad in the shoulders and the color washes her out. She is the only one that I thought the Victoria Pullover looked fabulous on. The Climbing Vines is also very nice, great color and my personal favorite. The Oriel Lace is wonderful, perhaps my favorite for her, so ethereal. The Vest and the Printed Silk Cardigan are beautiful, great colors for her. For this magazine, I vote for the Climbing Vines, I guess. So hard to choose. Thanks, Annie

So pretty! Climbing Vines & Victoria Yoke. Annie looks really striking in Victoria; she owns the look. Although I'd like the Climbing Vines better in a less muted tone, it doesn't seem too like too much sweater on Annie, and it did on others. Maybe it's her longer torso?

She's small so even though nothing looks bad on her, I would think the danger is in being overpowered by the clothes. I think the most flattering: Climbing Vines pullover, Victoria yoke pullover & the Printed Silk Cardigan. All three show off her figure and bring attention to her face.

Printed Silk looks great on her, but I would bring the neckline up about an inch. So much skin showing there draws the attention down from her pretty face and makes the sweater look a little big when it really fits her well.

The Printed Silk Cardigan is cute, cute, cute on Annie. The color flatters her skin tones, and the rather low neckline looks fresh, pretty, and summer-y (whereas it might look trashy or self-delusional on a fuller-figured or older person). The shape of the Dainty Pinstripes Pullover looks great, but the color is too neutral; Annie looks good in colors.

Hummm, there's not much that Annie doesn't look good in, but I think I like her best in the Manchester Jacket, then the Dainty Pinstripes Pullover and the Flutter Sleeve Cardigan, if it were a tad bit longer.
ErikaP wrote

She can certainly model knitwear! The 2 I don't like are the Ropes and Picots, much too square for her body shape. Also the Manchester Jacket is too big for her and buries her figure completely.

Annie has a beautiful long neck--so let's see it. The Climbing Vines and Ropes and Picots cardis are great, but the more delicate sweaters--Printed Silk and and Oriel Lace Blouse really convey a a wistfull dreaminess...Think: Pre-raphaelite Orphelia with modern energy. Dainty Pinstripes fits her great, but Meghan OWNS that sweater. annp

The Printed Silk is absolutely gorgeous on her, as is the Victorian Yolk. I do like Climbing Vines as well. I thnk the color of the Blooming Cardigan is really nice on her, but the sweater is slightly too big. The Printed Silk gets my vote - she looks like a graceful ballet dancer in it.

the manchester jacket looks best on her of the three models; the climbing vines pullover is very nice on her, but i think the printed silk cardigan is the most flattering on her. the color on her just makes her pop. it gives her some needed shape in her mid section without making her look to busty or hippy. the sleeves are the perfectly length to show off how delicate her arms are. she looks like a model straight from the pages in that sweater.

Is there anything Annie doesn't look good in? My favorite for her is the Painted Silk. She looks awesome in that dusty coral. I must say that she looks the best of all the models (so far) in the Dainty Rib. The Victorian Yoke has looked great on all three models.

The Oriel Lace Blouse for sure! It's gorgeous on her, age appropriate, and fits her beautifully...great choice!
