Wrap sweater (similar to Natalia) styled for longer waisted people
I'd really like a Wool& option for a long sleeved self-belted sweater with some length below the belt. The one pictured which I love except for its fabric- viscose- has a bit of a shawl collar and belt ties attached at either side. They wrap and tie neatly, and stay put. The 6.5 inch drop (betwee bottom edge of belt and bottom of sweater) neatly accomodates my shape and covers any gaps between top of pants/skirts.
I tried Natalia but had to send her back- she just wouldn't work with my long-waisted torso.
I'm seeing in the FB challenge group that plenty of others are having this issue with Natalia.

Marisa PhillipsI'd love the style but I would like it to be in the 180 blend for fall and interlock for winter

SusyThis would be a great addition! I like the fact that it's a bit longer than Natalia, but also with something g to define the waist. I found that do need defined waist.

PaulaI made this suggestion, and I probably should not have said this sweater works for long-waisted people. After thinking about it more, I really don't think it matters if you're short waisted or long waisted, it's just a different style of wrap sweater to try.

GreerOnly a 2" difference in body length between XS and 3X on the current Natalia seems like a mistake. I got a 1X based on my measurements, and I feel like I should be on my way to audition for a Victorian play while wearing it. (But sizing up would make the arms out of proportion. The length sits at my bra line.) A longer torso length would be awesome as the style has great potential but currently only seems to work for those with smaller chests.

DanielleThis would be amazing in a warm chocolate brown, camel or ivory/cream as a neutral color.

PI really like the collar on your inspiration photo. Kind of like the top of Beatrice, but with a wrap!

Whitney PYes! I was so excited about Natalia but I rarely wear her. Usually wrap tops work well for me as I’m larger busted and the V-neck is flattering plus I can adjust it to fit my body. However, it’s just so short that to get it to look nice on me when I when I pull the straps it rides up and becomes so short that it pulls in the dresses at too high a spot and the overall look is wrong. I wish for it to be 6 to 12 inches longer or something on that order. Some good pictures have been shared.

CatHow about a natural high waist and peplum? That can add plenty of length and be very flattering. I was worried about Natalia for this reason. Iris blue, pine, and Pacific

TSThe Natalia fits me like a shrug, ends just below the bust line when sized for my measurements (1x). In the pics of the models it is at least three or four inches below the bust line. The plus sizes need to be longer to accommodate for larger busts and backs.

EJI would LOVE to see Natalia offered in a long option. As someone who is long waisted I have tried a M and L and the Medium fits better in the shoulders and chest. Both sizes fall 2-4 inches above my pants depending on the pants. I can only wear Natalia over a dress. I would love to wear her as a shirt too.
