Review on Stay Chic And Comfy With Women'S Plus Size Zip-Up Hooded Sweatshirts by Albert Lee

Revainrating 5 out of 5

dream hoodie, lightweight but with dense warm fabric, stretchy, can squat zipped up, knee length

SHOCKED. I bought this on impulse during a flash sale. I just went for it. WOW, what a total surprise to have this be something that I really like. I am 5'11", 275#, wear 18/20, and have a long torso. Finding clothing that is long enough is rare. I love a long sweater, and I prefer a good style for most of my jacket needs. I have a zip hoodie similar in style to this already, hence why it piqued my interest when I saw it.I saw that the 3XL had the lowest price at time of purchase so I went with it over the 2XL. I really could have gone with either. I am hour glass shaped with dimensions around 49"x 39"x49", bra size 40C or 42B. The material has some stretch, so if you are straddling two sizes, it may not matter which way you go, but I would defer to the larger. If want a loose hanging sweater and/or intend to layer underneath quite a bit, or want a more coat like drape, then go up a full size or two. I like how this has a fitted feel, yet has enough stretch to not feel constrictive or tight. Even fully zipped up, I can move it in, sit in it, bend in it. Squat in it.Another thing? It is long enough in the arms. I will post a pic. Most of the time sleeves land on me like they are just 3/4 sleeves. My other long hoodie is too short in the sleeves. I figured the same here. NOPE. The sleeves reach my hands! YAY!ALSO, this is actually long on my tall frame. It nearly reaches my knees. Lands a little above. Will obviously land longer on my shorter folks, or those with shorter torso. Lot of length eaten up by my torso.Hood is large enough too. It's functional.Interior has a fleece lining. I didnt see that there were two options: fleece or regular. I am very pleased with the fleece. It is a smooth, short napped, ultra soft fleece that adds a level of cozy comfort I did not expect. It feels like it helps trap heat, and help block wind. Yet light weight enough to simply feel care free.MY ONLY dislike is the creamy white hood string against a black top. It is no surprise as it is shown in the pictures. Someone screaming about how it should be a white drawstring. Says who? It's a creamy color. A natural white or whatever. Anyway, I may try to replace it. We'll see.Might get another color in same size (got my eye on the fleece green or fleece red). If I do, and if there are ANY differences between the two I will come back to let you know and update accordingly.
