I am a pear shape and so often t shirts and sweat shirts are so big and blousy on the top if they fit around the hips. This sweat shirt is the perfect length and shape. It is roomy on the bottom without being flowy and fits on the top not making me look huge all over. It is actually flattering according to my two sisters who saw it on me today and are now interested in it. I am a grandmother -size 14 in slacks, 5'5" and 150 pounds and the large fit perfectly. My daughter was wearing one and our daughter in law admired it so we got one for each of us. It is the perfect weight too. Not too heavy and easy to pull on and off. I usually prefer zip up sweat shirts but this one is great! Highly recommend.
