I'm looking for a red sweater for my wife, in the $200 to $500 price
range. She is size 7 and loves cashmere.

Dear leejay12345-ga;

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting question.

Using GOOGLE?S shopping engine FROOGLE you will find in excess of
9,000 potential sources for a red cashmere sweater in the $200-$500
range. This is certainly one of the best product search engines
around:

FROOGLE
http://froogle.google.com/froogle?price1=200&price2=500&btnP=Go&q=red+cashmere+sweater&price=between

Without specifying a price range, FROOGLE shows 10,700 potential sources.

If you change your mind you can, of course, modify the search and look
for anything you like (from a $200 red sweater to a $200,000.00 red
Mercedes Benz ).

I knew about Froogle.  Are there any other search engines that would
help me pick her size.

I?m not aware of any search engines that search all potential sources
and also offers the option of doing it ?by size?. Its probably going
to be a matter of shopping the various sources individually. You see,
its not as simple as saying ?size 7? Some are not listed as ?size 7?
but are referred to as ?small? or ?medium?, etc. Then again, if the
source is European, a US size 6 is called a 38 (except in Italy where
it is called a size 40).

Here are some possibilities I managed to shop up for you.

BLUEFLY http://www.bluefly.com/pages/search/results.jsp?cmSrch=true&Ne=500000&Ntk=all&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&N=933&Ntt=red%20cashmere%20sweater&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=933&inicat=933
(You can get all of these in the equivalent of a size 7, and right now
they are 70% off ? a savings in some cases of well over $200 each.)

At the other end of the spectrum is this stunning waffle pattern,
cherry-red cashmere designer sweater by Marc Jacobs (US$495.00). The
convenient sizing feature allows you to purchase the piece in any
size, using the European, US or Asian size chart.

See how easy it is?

I would have liked a few more choices but you did find me one that met
what I was looking for.
