For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and typically a size 4 in Lululemon jackets.
This is the size XS. The length feels really good. Not too short. But the body is boxy and the sleeves are poofy. I do like how wide the collar is. This jacket is very warm and cozy, just like a teddy bear! I also really like the color. It matches my hair. 😄

This is the XXS and I feel the jacket is too short. It is cropped and not in a good way. The waist band is fairly tight on me and I can feel it riding up when I move. The body definitely looks more fitted and not as boxy as the size XS. The XXS definitely looks more flattering.
The sleeves are a little poofy but not as big as the XS. The XS was borderline ridiculous. Even my husband said so. Unfortunately because of the in-between fit, I decided to return both. Personally if I had to choose, I would go with the XS because of the length.

In other news I was very surprised to see the Pack It Down Jacket and Pack It Down Vest on WMTM.
That Sherpa looks real cute on you. Is that the true color of antique bark in your pics? I didn’t think the sleeves in the xs were too poofy on you. The Sherpa looks so cozy on you :)
ReplyDeleteOh the lighting makes it look more yellow- brown, but it's actually a really nice purple mauve in person. Maybe if this ends up on WMTM I'll pick up the XS.
DeleteI'm with you on the Sherpa jacket. I got the size S in the end because of the uncomfortable waist fit for the size XS. I do think it is petite friendly though. On my 5'6 frame XS makes my torso look inproportionately short... Also the collar for XS is narrower, so it stands stiffer and keep rubbing my chin.
ReplyDeleteI guess it is better to size up in this one. The crop length just made it a little uncomfortable. I felt like I would always tug it down. =)
DeleteWhat color did you get?
I got the white/grey one, but would have preferred it in full white. Still keeping it because it is different from the standard straight cut I see everywhere/. I also have my eyes on the Sherpa Furever Bomber black under the WMTM girls section. It's only $39; if the material is the same it would be a steal...
DeleteI've tried some of the girls jackets and it is very hit or miss. The fit is also never right... I would try it if it wasn't on WMTM. Risky since there are no reviews!
DeleteI like how the XXS fits on you, it’s looks fitted. Thanks for the review I’ve been keeping my eye on this one
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you end up getting it!
DeleteI also like how size xxs fits on you and the color is gorgeous (saw it at one of the stores). I don’t like cropped jackets so it’s a pass for me. By the way, I ended up keeping the Sincerely Sherpa Jacket and am really loving it (okay wait till I have to hand wash it!!!).
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you can't wash it in the washing machine with the delicate setting? I really hate hand washing anything...
DeleteHesitate to try machine washing cos what if it shrinks of the Sherpa material gets stiff ...
DeleteYou'll have to keep me posted how it turns out with the hand washing.
DeleteThx for the review. I'm usually a 4 in Scuba Hoodies (5ft 3" 118lbs),but just ordered a size XXS b/c that's all I can find. It's so hard to tell from all of the reviews as much depends on how you like it to fit. But, your photos are very helpful. I think the XXS looks great on you. Wish I could find that color. I guess I was too late to the party. Can't wait for the jacket to arrive, although I'm prepared for it to be too small.
ReplyDeleteWould love to know what you think of the XXS. I did find it to be too cropped on me. Lulu may release it again next year since this was very popular.
