Too short? Just right?

So I am working away on Flair. I have bound off the bottom and started the sleeves. I tried it on... and it's too short. Or is it? I added an extra 2 inches onto it before starting the moss stitch border, and the husband still claims it looks dumb. But, the work-friends, who had me try it on today, all claim that it is just right. I will finish it up, block it a bit, and then post pictures here for my 2 whole readers to decide.

And, I'm a bandwagon jumper, so I've started on the chevron scarf. Mine is a very muted colorway and I am not switching between 2 yarns, so it is quite different than the ones posted on Flickr. I might buy one more skien and switch yarns to help it out, but I can't decide. Ehh.

Kate, I'm not sure which yarn you are using on Flair but don't forget that blocking will add length. Svetlana ended up ripping out 2 days of work on her dress because it was too long after blocking. Just FYI.

Yes, show us flair!
It is true once you block it, it may be the perfect length.
I too started the chevron.....can't wait to see yours!
