I finished Topsecret, but...
It isn't very flattering.
It makes me look fat. I'm going to see if I can block it when I get home in some way to make it look better.
But it's so comfy. It's an around-the-house sweater. I'm actually wearing it right now. :)

It's not actively flattering, but it's not bad, and the fit looks good: the raglans sit in just the right spot.
Have you considered making the body longer?
I think part of the problem is that the sleeve hems and body hem all fall in the same spot, which gives you a strong horizontal at the hip and lets the body and sleeves melt together. If you made it longer, that would break up the horizontal and make the sleeves and body more visually distinct. (There weren't any arms-down pictures of that one on Knitty!)
You might be able to stretch it out when you block, or you could do that secret-ninja unravel the bottom edge, pick up the live stitches, and knit a little more thingy.
Stariel, it looks better than you think. I would love to see how it looks once blocked. And thanks for the help!
