Q: How long is this sweater? It says longer length in one place and then hip length in another - a huge difference!

submitted by Prospective buyer - 5 months ago
  • A: Is the fabric heavy?

    submitted byGood Gift - 2 months ago
  • A: I’m 5’9 and have washed and lightly dried the sweater and it reaches just below the bum. I also have it in two colors. Definitely lower than the hips for me, hope this helps

    submitted byKittykat05 - 5 months ago
  • A: Hello - Thank you for this question. The length at hip is 34 to 46 depending on the size you choose. I hope this helps! - Nimra

Rags after 3 washes

INFJintheWoods - 4 days ago
This sweater stretches out in the wash. I’ve washed it in cold water, delicate cycle, laid flat to dry. It looks like rags after just three washes. I have TWO of these sweaters. The price is right but the quality gives a whole new meaning to fast fashion. I’m disappointed and hesitant to buy knits from this brand.

I ordered the cream and it is beautiful. I am 5’0 and 156 lbs and the Medium is pretty oversized on me. I plan on washing and drying, hoping it’ll shrink a tiny bit more. But, it is very flattering and I don’t regret this purchase. I will order a different color next time in size Small. I think it will be a perfect fit and wouldn’t use any heat on it then. It’s funny, usually I am a medium or large in tops and haven’t been a small in anything in years! So, I do think if you’re on the shorter side you could easily go down a size or two.

Quality is better than expected. Material is thick yet airy because of the stitching style. Fabric is soft and lays casually (not stiff or itchy). Could dress as loungewear or put together for work. I'm happy with this purchase. I'm 5'2" and 110 lb and ordered a size XS which still fits nice and roomy.

TLRachelle - 14 days ago, Verified purchaser
I really like the quality of the sweater and especially the pockets. I ordered an XXL expecting it to be extra big and baggy but I found the sleeves to be almost too short and it's not as large as I expected. I would definitely size up if you're wanting it to be more of a flow, baggy sweater cardigan. All in all I do really like this sweater and it's warm and the quality of the sweater is very nice.

Those pockets are at the most unflatering part of my body. I look like a mug with two handles. The color is pretty but I can't wear it. I will return it.

Lolo - 26 days ago, Verified purchaser
I love this sweater. I work in a school and the temperature changes throughout the day based off how many kids are in my classroom. I always need a sweater and this one works perfectly. It is baggy, but I like the look. I purchased the cream first and it washes perfectly. I love it so much that I bought the green in a smaller size.

Pea - 27 days ago, Verified purchaser
Over the years, I’ve purchased several of these Universal Thread sweaters in various colors. The fit and material are great. Unfortunately I had to return this one because it’s not a winter white as it looks in the picture. It’s more yellowish.

MR - 28 days ago, Verified purchaser
I bought this sweater in grey originally and loved it so much I bought it in olive as well! I removed one star because the olive color wasn't as soft as the grey color for some reason. But I still love it and wear it often. Get it!

I got this sweater during Black Friday and loved it so much I went back for another color! I would love to see more colors of this sweater next season (burgundy and mustard please!). It's soft and warm but not overly hot. I'm very petite so I worry about wearing oversized clothes but this worked perfectly for my figure. This is a great staple for any wardrobe!

Love this cardigan bought the green one about two years ago good quality decided to get the black one as well. I am a size large but for these cardigans small fits perfect I think because it’s a oversized cardigan. Fast shipping too.
