Another finished sweater. This one with far more ambivalent results.
I am just not sure what I think. It does look a great deal like the pattern photo:
But the fabric feel to light and flimsy to me, and the drape of the rayon makes the belt grow longer and thinner as the day wears on. I am constantly readjusting.
So I tried removing the belt, opening up the side seams to make belt loops and wearing a different belt with the sweater. It may be marginally better, but I am not convinced we are meant for each other, this sweater and I.
More likely I let my imagination run away with my common sense.
Chalk this one up to experience.

I like it, especially with your second styling. Think of it as a scarf with armholes, instead of a sweater?
I think you’ve styled it well in photo 2 – and I think it is really imaginative. But I agree that it is quite wispy. You know of my challenges with wispy. I say you should keep it and work with it in a few more ways. If you still don’t like it, I’m sure it will look wonderful on a friend…
The second style is great, but flimsy fabric annoys me too. Why not wear it for awhile and see what you think?
