Last week I got an email from Julie, who needs help finding some cardigans for her bridesmaids to wear in an outdoor wedding in Kansas next April. She needs a wide array of sizes, and wants something vintage inspired in a neutral color to go with the
Alfred Sung dresses she has her eye on for her wedding party:
As a cardigan afficionado, I was excited to e-shop for Julie and her friends, but I will admit this was really hard! Cardigans are generally a casual item, and the usual long length won't work with dresses. Also, many lines do not come in a wide size range, and 90% of things made for wedding parties are ugly. That is a fact. However, here are my top picks for Julie's bridesmaids:
I think any of these could be jazzed up with a fun brooch or jeweled buttons, and will work on a variety of body shapes. Cropped cardigans are tricky for ladies with a large bust, but I think wearing them open over a dress will keep anyone from looking top heavy. Good luck, Julie!!
