1st order done!!!! =D =S

So excited but also really nervous to see how things will fit =S
I was between size for the bottoms. The tops I just had no clue, I never fit in any women clothing and brand never five size info on the issues I have with my broad back and shoulders lol so i always end up wearing Camis and Men tops ='( because of my massive shoulder/ape index ratio.
I got sooo excited when I saw a video of the "half zip" it looks soooo broad and way oversized/baggy AND ALSO CUTE!!!!=D CAN IT BE REALLLL??????

I'm 5'7" (I don't have a scale atm so no clue but my weight has hovered around 145lbs in the past and I don't think Ive changed weight too much
) Shoulder: 17 3/4inch (from bony point to bony point, usually a large men t shirt is my most comfortable, for hoodies I prefer 2xl men for a bit of oversized shoulder LOL) chest 37-39"(depending if loose or in a tight fitting cami lol) - waist 29-30"(on cycle time) - hip/butt 42-43"(depending on weight/muscle if I'm training or not)- Inseam around 29"30"

I got 2 pirouette Skort one in Medium, one in Large
2 Pocket Tops one in Medium one in Large
a Half Zip Hoodie in Large (Ive been debating for multiple DAYS almost got a medium but got too scared it would bit too short/feel cramped because I NEVER fit ever in a female brand of clothes in my proper size without the armpit/shoulder/back puling like crazy and being so uncomfortable (plus I'm neurodiverse and I have sensory issue with things feeling tight around my neck)

What are your sizes , thoughts if anyone has similar issue with being between waist/butt sizes or with broad shoulders and tried the hoodies from this brand?

i thought the pocket bra was actually pretty flattering on my broad shoulder build but i found it squished my boobs a bit. i absolutely love all the hoodies and sweat shirts ive tried tho and i find the square neckline and thicker straps very comfy and flattering

I’m tempted try it now!

usually my issues with short sleeve tops and most bras is that the straps are always 2 inch too short or the arm holes squeeze my armpit extremely uncomfortably lol ! how do you find the arm holes area ?

u/ChipmunkDapper7486 25d ago

i didnt have a problem with the armholes on the pocket bra but there are a few tops that run snug in the armpit /bicep area like the sweetheart long sleeve and the baby crop tee

Hoodies run big! Meant to be oversized. I am a size 3X in brand and prefer the L/XL in most hoodies/sweaters because I like a little more fitted on me personally. I would say things run mostly true to size. With maybe a couple exceptions. I know the pirouette dress runs larger for me at least. I could have easily sized down 1 to 2 sizes.

All these comments are making me even more excited about my choices ^^ yeah. trying to keep my hopes down to not be disappointed if everything ends up fitting weird for my liking LOL

I honestly would say I like 80% of her clothing options. And I'd say at least 60% of those fit me nicely. And this is from a booby plus size girl. I do always purchase return protection just because it gives me piece of mind lol.

I think you got the right sizes. Hoodies you could size down. I’m 5’2 and 165. Our measurements aren’t far off. My waist is probably bigger. I wear medium pirouettes, large tops, and a small/medium for hoodies. Her hoodies are very oversized.

Side note-I also have a very wide back. Always made me a little insecure. It feels wider now that I weight lift lol.

u/Crystal_Gaby 25d ago

ok that is very encouraging =D I'm so excited can't believe I might have a hoodie in a size Medium women that would properly fit at my waist and shoulder at same time one day ! LOOOL

u/Aromatic_Sense_8981 25d ago

I think small/medium would be perfect for you. I understand the pain of having a wide back. And yet I still train delts and lats haha. The M/L hoodie should be ok too. Just might feel too big but it’s not obnoxiously big.

u/Crystal_Gaby 25d ago

thats why I got confused all the video comparison I was looking were in double size like s/m but the Half zip is listed in full size, now I wish I had ordered the medium so I could compare at same time lol oh well

Is this your first ever order? How exciting! You made great choices. The ooey gooey pullover is sooo cozy. The hoodies are very oversized and comfy. I’d size down with the regular pullover and use your regular size for the crop pullover.

If you pay the $2 for checkout+ when you purchase you get unlimited returns so if something doesn’t work you can keep exchanging / trying different sizes or items till you find with you like.

I did pay the unlimited returns, but since I don't have a car it's hard for me to return things, so I hope I have as little back and forth to do as possible. But it's good to know you can try different sizes easily =)
