I am so glad I trusted my gut and didn't buy the Babeau fleece wrap

[AnnieW625]

The SA who was about 24 and a size 2-4 said it looked cute and would look better with jeans vs. my work pants, but I wasn't convinced, plus the fleece was quite warm and would be overkill IMHO here (and it didn't help I had just walked into the store from 70 degree weather). I am honestly convinced now that you need a certain body style to be able to pull this off esp. if you are wearing it outside the house. Thought I would share a photo though:

Well, I never wear mine buttoned, I think it looks much nicer undone, and I think it looks so much better with jeans..I wear mine with short sleeved t-shirts underneath too...as it is styled in your pic I agree its not super flattering..I have the petite size as well as I'm 4'11"... Never buy something that your gut tells you not too though!

I agree, i never wear it buttoned. I think it looks better with fitted pants or jeans.

Thanks to you both. Not sure why my pants look all baggy in this picture, they didn't look that bad......at least I didn't think they did. Instead of ordering this a few weeks back I ordered this cardigan and love it:

I have this one too in red. I love it. It's so comfy and I always get compliments on it. But I have found it to pill just slightly after washing.

I love that!!!

I have two of the Bobeau fleece wraps, and I do wear them buttoned for warmth. However, I take a safety pin to pin the "inner-side" of the cardigan to my t-shirt - that helps it to be more fitted and drape much more nicely when closed!

Well, I got mine in the mail, and they look awful on me! They are going back to Nordstrom...

My mom insisted I get one last year she loved hers so much, I tried it on in the store after xmas, and I thought it looked awful, but it was also the wrong color and the wrong size. A few months later another one arrived in the mail....If I wear skinny jeans and heels I can pull it off, but otherwise it's just become something really comfortable that I wear ***only at home***. A small step up from working in my bathrobe ;)

AnnieW625, I think it looks quite lovely on you!

[hellokitty]

I think that they'd look badly on me too... Esp buttoned up. Anytime I wear any type of sweater or jacket buttoned up, I don't like the way it looks.

I tried one on, too. I am short and curvy, and because it was so shapeless in the waist area (esp in the back), it looked frumpy on me. I tried unbuttoning it in the front, which helped with the front view, but then it would not sit properly - the edges of the front kept turning so the unfinished bits showed. The one I had looked like it would start pilling the first time through the wash. Sleeves were very snug - I wouldn't be able to wear it with long sleeves under.

I do think that on the right person, they could look better (though I have some doubts about how well they would hold up for me - i am hard on sweaters/fleeces), but I really need something with darts or tailoring of some kind to look like I'm not wearing a bag. I wouldn't mind finding something with a similar angled line in the front with gathers in the back and made of another material, probably a little thicker.

Maybe these are like cilantro? You either love 'em or hate 'em?

I ordered two, also! I ordered the striped $19.99 one in a medium, tried it, showed a friend who confirmed my thoughts that it was way too big for my 5'4" frame. So I ordered a purple one in a small, and darn if it doesn't fit just the same. Too bad because they are SO comfy. I wish I could make it work!

In case if anyone wanted styling ideas, you can see how petite fashion blogger (5 feet tall) wears it with different outfits.
