Review on Stylish & Comfortable: Women'S Ethnic Floral Hoodies With Pockets - YESNO JCJ Collection by Casey Mann

While some of the four items that I got were more of a score than others, I’m beyond chuffed that I found this page and check back for new items often… very often. It’s not quite right, is it?For your reference, I’m 5’7”, 135 lbs, with a shoulder height of about 55”.JHJ GREEN hoodie -and- YM7 YELLOW hoodie 5 stars +Key differences:- The body, hood, and sleeves of yellow hoodie are slightly roomier than those of the green one.- The green one has what I would call "snub-nosed” sleeves: both feature long sleeves that go well past my wrists, but those of the green one begin further out, due to the wide body. The yellow hoodie, being bigger all over, has more normally-proportioned sleeves.Otherwise, both are made of a heavier fabric that immediately inspires a sense of quality and value. I would recommend using a sturdy hanger, in fact.Not lined with fleece, which is A-OK by me, as I usually suck my cheeks in at the slightest touch of "dry-textured” fabrics. The outer texture of these hoodies is slightly coarse - but in no way scratchy.One could practically live in these spacious hoodies, and I love that they’re a complete, unique outfit on their own! I originally bought them to dive into, when our puppy suddenly needs to go out: can’t stand the ick of snow or rain on the back of my neck, but can’t handle the irritation of suiting up like an astronaut each time, with a separate hat, scarf, and coat.If I *did* wish to layer up, I could prolly fit 4-5 shirts under these things!The pockets are definitely appreciated in this context, as the size of these garments accommodates them well.These came with a light chemical odor, perhaps like that of a swimming pool changeroom I didn’t mind it, but if you’re more sensitive - well, nao you know.JCJ GREY hoodie 3.5 starsI was immediately greeted by a strong perfume… sorta like what your mom’s friend wears - y’know, the one at whose house you’d rather spend time. Comforting at first, but had taken over my room by the end of the day.The hoodie itself was made of thinner, seemingly less rugged - yet smoother - fabric than the above two. Because it was the third I ordered, my perception of the value was diminished by comparison - though it still had a pleasant, non-fuzzy texture. No fleece here, either.The pattern was somewhat less poppin’ than expected, and as a result, the light grey patches on the chest and back didn’t blend in as well. I had considered getting red-and-turquoise jewelry, along the lines of what the model is wearing, to pick up on those elements of the hoodie’s design - but I now think such jewelry would have upstaged the hoodie.Overall, it was still a pretty decent-looking piece but, as you can prolly tell by the past tense, I sent it back. Other reviewers’ photos of the orange and red versions seem promising, so I’ll try again, there :-)JGP PURPLE sweatshirt dress 2.5 starsNot really sure what happened, here…In the seller’s photos, the colours were enticingly bright and distinct, with the indigo gracefully graduating down to a medium purple.in life, the pattern was so faded and drab, it was as if the garment had just been excavated at a medieval digsite. While I had seen reviews mentioning this exact problem, their photos looked so different from what was advertised, it didn’t even occur to me that it was the same item O.oWithout a distinct pattern to tie it together, the transition from indigo to purple is a little abrupt, as if I had been wading around in a pond…All this would perhaps have been acceptable, were the dyes uniformly faded - but the blue dye is a sole survivor, leaving these… awkward knobs.If anything, my camera managed to make the colours look a touch more vivid than they appear in person.This item does have some good features, namely:- Same quality thick fabric as the green and yellow hoodies.- Stylish yet contained frayed edges.- Pattern on the front AND back (which I’m sure Ross would appreciate).- Just-right sleeve length: I would have been able to perform most household tasks without having to roll them up. If you have longer arms or narrow shoulders, however, the sleeves might border on that ¾ look, which, along with the angle of the seam attaching the sleeves to the body, can make one’s arms look a bit short.- Unintrusive pockets, thanks to the relative roominess of the body - though the sides might bunch if you have fuller hips.Though it saddened my heart to do so, I opted to return this one, as well, and gambled the refund on a different YESNO sweatshirt with a similar cut :-D
