Magaschoni Drape Cardigan Sweater - Silk Rich (For Women)

While I'm disappointed that I no longer can buy this cardigan in linen colour in size S, I am surprised that these cardigans are still available. I got one in cactus colour late last autumn and find it very practical. Most of the time, I put it over a white linen shirt and, with one silver broche, pin it in the waistline so it drapes nicely. On a few occasions, I put it over a matching in colour bra, pinned with w bobby pin in the décolleté line and put another pin in the waistline, tossed it with while pants and that was my cool outfit for a warm day. While unique, it is a practical piece to go along with the classics. I only wish I could still get it in linen in size small.

This Magasconi piece is more of a vest than a cardigan (there are no buttons in it). The fabric is interesting, the metallic yarn gives it a little of a flicker. I bought mine in a cactus colour and have been wearing it with a white linen shirt, sleeves rolled, and beige linen pants; it looks great in a safari kind of style.

The right person would do well by purchasing this sweater as it would be perfect to drape over an elegant dress or skirt outfit. Nevertheless, I found it rather old fashioned looking on me and I will give it to someone else who could use it. The size seemed one size too large. Note that it does have a slight sparkle and sheen to it. It does drape beautifully.

I had hoped that it would work as an unstructured semi-cape-like top layer. But I found no way to drape it nicely, it always looked awkward. Nothing about it was flattering. Even the fabric was heavy and coarse.
