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

  • 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 - 7 months ago

This sweater is very boxy and the pockets do look weird. It might look better if I were a very thin person.

Solstice - 23 days ago, Verified purchaser
In this transition time from late winter to Spring, a nice new sweater can make me smile! This sweater is very comfortable and the shade of green is beautiful. My local Target did not have this sweater but the delivery was fast and easy. The size I got was a Large. I could have worn a Medium, but I prefer my sweaters to be a bigger. This was perfect as it wasn't overly large. Nice and casual/slouchy. For work or more styled situations, I'd recommend getting your normal size.

Nice quality sweater for casual dress or the (always super cold) office. Great material and weight that has held up to washing. I have purchased in several colors in my usual size. I find the fit to be oversized, but am happy with that style.

Lolo - 3 months 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 - 3 months 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.

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!

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.

Universal thread has some really nice materials and priced well especially if on sale. This sweater is soft and thick however, is large and boxy so size down. It does cover your backside if you’re into that. Arm length a tad short
