Okay, I did try to get an updated photo of Beatrice, but "taking my own picture in the mirror" doesn't work well at all. So we'll have to wait a bit for a new modeled photo.
Let's say that I'm much happier with Beatrice after she spent about 20 minutes in the dryer. She's not felted, but she did shrink up a bit on me. The sleeves are now the proper length and the body hits me mid-hip rather than mid-thigh. I'm too short for long tunic length sweaters.
So while it's not the most flattering style in the world for me, it's a much better fit than it was before. Oh, and FYI: it's warm! Perfect for this time of year.

So happy to hear that using the dryer helped shorten the length. I'm not sure I would have had the ability to throw a handknit sweater into the dryer, but I'm glad it all worked out.
